Among the key standard features of the M3 Touring to be sold Down Under are 19-inch and 20-inch M light alloy wheels, BMW M 50 year anniversary badging, BMW LaserLight with High Beam Assistant, Comfort Access system with BMW Digital Key, Connected Package Professional, DAB+ digital radio, Driving Assistant Professional, full Merino leather upholstery, Harman/Kardon surround sound system, M high-gloss Shadowline, carbon fiber trimmings throughout the cabin, Parking Assistant Plus, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
