To us, the BMW 3 Touring series generally means superb handling, advanced ergonomics, great versatility and loads of available options and accessories. The only downside of the premium family estate/wagon is perhaps its overly simplistic exterior design. And this is exactly where the tuner team over at Clinched rushes to the rescue.
The guys have dressed the car in a full-fledged wide body kit, seemingly getting rid of every last bit of understatement as they did so. The vehicle gained a full M Sports Package, as well as several M Performance Parts. This included a new front bumper with a carbon splitter and larger air intakes, the trademark kidney grille, a hood cover with a prominent motor dome in the center, bold fender flares and side skirts, and an M3-style rear apron. Speaking of which, most of the abovementioned parts have been borrowed from the BMW M3 / M4 coupe series.
Compared to the production vehicle, the BMW F31 Touring by Clinched also features a custom, stainless-steel, quad-pipe exhaust system, a set of Radi8 r8t12 wheels and a lowered air suspension.
The unique car was commissioned by motorcycle dealer Rough Crafts. As such, it exists in a single copy and doesn’t come with a publicly available price tag.
