Well over two million BMW E30s were produced back in the 1980s. But did you know the original 3 Series Touring wasn’t developed by BMW at all? Well, not as such. It was the work of Max Reisbock, a BMW engineer, who found the saloon version wasn’t practical enough for his growing family. So he bought a wrecked 323i and converted the car himself. BMW liked the design so much, a factory version was built with only minimal changes to Max’s original design. Now 30 years on, here to make a lasting impression is the latest G21 BMW 3 Series Touring. Offering sublime handling, intelligent storage solutions, next-level connectivity and a new athletic design language, it opens up the journey to amazing possibilities. - Wiki

Introducing BMW’s most iconic driving machine – the new BMW 3 Series Saloon. With an enhanced layer of intelligence, the BMW 3 Series Saloon connects with drivers like never before.

BMW M Tour Event Photography
As a car photographer, there are few things more exciting than getting the chance to shoot a brand new, high-performance vehicle. And as luck would have it, I recently had the opportunity to do just that as part of the BMW M Tour.
For those who may not be familiar with the BMW M Tour, it's an annual event that showcases the latest and greatest from the legendary M division of BMW. This year's tour started in Glasgow, Scotland and made its way down to London, with stops along the way to allow people to get up close and personal with the cars.
As a fan of BMW and performance cars in general, I was beyond excited to get the opportunity to photograph the M Tour. The moment I heard about it, I knew I had to be a part of it. And as it turned out, I was one of the lucky few photographers chosen to document the tour as it made its way across the UK.
The tour itself was an absolute blast. Every day, we were treated to a different lineup of M division cars, ranging from the latest M3 and M4 to the monstrous M5 and M8. Each car was more impressive than the last, and it was a photographer's dream to have so much high-performance hardware to work with.
But the tour wasn't just about the cars – it was also about the people. Everywhere we went, we were met with enthusiastic crowds of car fans who were eager to get a look at the latest from BMW. It was great to see so many people passionate about cars, and it made the tour that much more special.
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. From the stunning landscapes of Scotland to the bustling streets of London, the BMW M Tour took us on a journey that I'll never forget. And as a photographer, it was a dream come true to be able to capture so many incredible cars in such beautiful settings.
If you're a car enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the BMW M Tour if it comes to a city near you. It's a chance to get up close and personal with some of the most impressive cars on the road, and it's an experience you won't forget. And if you can't make it to the tour in person, be sure to check out my photos from the event – I think you'll agree that they do the cars justice.
