Your BMW of choice that was never produced?

The E46 M3 Touring let alone E46 M3 CSL Touring they never sold because hardly anyone would BUY one

I'd quite fancy something with a screaming 4 cylinder engine of e30 DTM car varity, a shed load of power but few cylinders. Im told the 1990 2.5's were amazing and I'd quite like one. Other than that yep any variation of M3 touring

I have to disagree; I bet they would have sold enough to justify putting an E46 M3 Touring into production. Audi have certainly had no issues in selling a 'reasonable' amount of RS4 Avants in their differing guises over the years.

I for one would be driving an E46 M3 Touring as my daily drive had they ever gone into production

I'm pretty sure that an E46 M3 CSL 'Touring' was never on the cards, however lol!

not enough made so I guess it kind of qualifies

In Your Humble Opinion, obviously
As G-dog already said, there would have been enough buyers for E46 M3 Touring. It's not as if AUDI had any dificulty selling the RS range of Avants
At a guess quite few on here would have had an E46 M3 Touring as a Daily smoker & Cecils other brother me included
Alternatively, this would have been nice too

There is a company in Germany that specialises in fitting E39 M5 V8's to Z1's. That said im not sure i'd like to drive one, a friend owns the Ex. Ross Brawn car and its pretty entertaining as it is tbh

I am sure they would have sold "some" E46 M3 Tourings but whether they would have sold enough to cover R&D costs etc is another matter.
BMW have sold E34 M5 Touring and E61 M5 Touring.
Both never sold in great numbers at all
Why there wasn't a E39 M5 Touring ( well there was one for the head of BMW M) is I think something to do with development or handling and again sales projections.
If BMW really believed they could sell enough E46 M3 Tourings brand new they would have done but they didn't presumably because there was no business case.
No point making something even if tech fest if you can't cover costs and make a profit
You also have to ask if they thought not selling the E46 M3 Touring was a mistake why they
didn't sell a E9X M3 Touring
As for Audis a lot of ppl that want estates generally are Audi lovers any way
