YOU DREAMED IT. WE BUILT IT.
The idea of building a BMW M3 Touring racing car had already occurred to the BMW M motorsport engineers back when the first BMW M3 Touring production model was unveiled in 2022. The project took shape following the digital presentation of such a vehicle in 2025: initially just meant to be a April Fool’s joke.
But the entire M Community was instantly fired up – and BMW M Motorsport is now delivering. In terms of safety, reliability and performance, it was clear from the outset that the BMW M3 Touring H24 would be designed to the same specifications than its basis, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO.
5 POWERFUL FACTS:
- Competition-ready one-off based on the BMW M4 GT3 EVO
- Set to compete in the SPX class at the 2026 Nürburgring 24-hour race
- Output: up to 433 kW (590 hp)
- Development time: 8 months
- Also designed as a race taxi with an optional co-driver’s seat
ICONIC FROM EVERY ANGLE.
A unique racing car in a unique design: in addition to the new M Yellow Lights in the motorsport headlights, the BMW M3 Touring 24H features a special M kidney grille with BMW Iconic Glow.

BODY DESIGN.
BODY DESIGN.
The body of the BMW M3 Touring 24H is a high-performance motorsport body that provides rigidity and centre of gravity similar to the BMW M4 GT3 EVO. It thus meets the safety standards set forth in the 2025 FIA GT3 regulations.
The newly designed and specifically adjusted roll cage has been structurally integrated and includes an additional passenger safeguard. This means the vehicle can also be used as a race taxi. Compared to the M4 GT3 EVO, the Touring body required for the driver’s seating position to be moved up by 60 millimetres for safe ingress and egress. Still, the front end and the crash structure have been adopted from the BMW M4 GT3 EVO.
AERODYNAMICS.
AERODYNAMICS.
Due to the unique shape of the body, the developers of the BMW M3 Touring 24H faced the challenge of adjusting the vehicle's aerodynamic balance compared to that of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO. The specific shape of the roof produces increased drag that reduces aerodynamic efficiency on straights and through fast corners.
The solution: the rear wing with a modified surface has been moved back to realise a decrease in air resistance while keeping the overall downforce. At the same time, the specific set-up averts aerodynamic lift at the edge of the Touring roof.

The BMW M Motorsport engineers have also drawn on the BMW M4 GT3 EVO for suspension and chassis. Components and kinematics match the features that also provide the famed GT3 racer with optimal stability and grip.
- Control arms of milled aluminium
- Adjustable stabilisers
- Double whishbone suspension on the front axle
- Multi-link rear axle
- 5-way dampers by KW
