2015 BMW 3-Series Wagon on Bring a Trailer Is Built to M3 Spec
BMW never built an M3 wagon for the North American market. Here's one anyway. Virtually OEM inside and out, it's the hot Munich longroof we all wished for. This car is CARB certified and fully approved by California's Bureau of Automotive Repair. BMW's decision to bring the wagon version of the current M5 to this side of the Atlantic probably doesn't make a lot of sense to the company's accountants, but it's great for the fans. Uber-fast sedans are great, but there's something cooler about a wagon variant. It's a shame Bimmer didn't do the same with the M3. Bring a Trailer But wait, Bavarian sports wagon fans! Here's a 2015 BMW 328i xDrive wagon, fully converted to F80-series M3 specification, and it's up for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It's got the twin-turbo inline-six, the wider track with fenders and bumper covers, and best of all, a six-speed manual transmission so you can row your own gears while you laminate a labradoodle to the back window. Bring a Trailer Conversions can be hit or miss sometimes, but this one looks like it was factory-built in Munich. The exterior and mechanical upgrades are all OEM, and the interior of the M3 has been largely swapped over as well. It's got CARB approval, certification by the sometimes fussy California Bureau of Automotive Repair, and a modest 63K miles on the odometer. Bring a Trailer The M3 donor car was a Competition package model, which means the S55 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six makes a hearty 444 horsepower. Formerly equipped with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive, it's now rear-wheel drive with a limited-slip differential, and fitted with M3 subframes and chassis bracing. Bring a Trailer The car rides on M3 Competition-spec 20-inch wheels, fitted with Michelin tires, and the suspension and brakes are also M3 grade. The only aftermarket addition appears to be a set of KW height-adjustable springs. A 328i wagon of this generation is a pretty likable car all by itself, and as BMW no longer sends the touring version of the 3-series to North America, they're holding their value well. This car gets you something unique, all the firepower of a proper M3, but with extra carrying capacity and cool factor. For the winning bidder on this auction, the fact that BMW never built an M3 wagon for the U.S. market isn't a drawback but a bonus. Bimmer fans are going to go nuts when you roll up in it at your local German car show. The auction ends on July 30.

Rea crashes twice as Razgatlioglu wins in Hungary
Jonathan Rea crashed twice in Saturday's opening World Superbike race of the weekend in Hungary as Toprak Razgatlioglu won to increase his advantage at the top of the championship standings. It was a seventh straight race win for the Turkish rider, who had taken his BMW to successive hat-tricks at the and Misano and Donington rounds to assume the series lead. The first attempt to run Saturday's race was halted after a crash involving seven riders at the opening chicane, but when the restart got under way it was Razgatlioglu who took control at the head of the field and extended his cushion over the chasing pack. Andrea Locatelli, Nicolo Bulega and Alvaro Bautista were all in the mix for the podium positions behind the two-time champion. Further down the order, Rea crashed his Pata Yamaha at turn one with six laps of the 20 remaining while sitting in eighth place but re-mounted, falling back into 18th spot. The six-time champion from Northern Ireland crashed again one lap later however and this time was unable to rejoin the field because of damage to his bike. Ultimately, Razgatlioglu prevailed by 3.7 seconds to win, with Bulega second, his Duacti team-mate Bautista third, then Locatelli, Danilo Petrucci and Alex Lowes making up the top six. Razgatlioglu now leads Bulega by nine points at the top of the championship standings, with the Superpole and Race Two still to come at the Balaton Park circuit on Sunday. While a number of riders involved in the crash in the initial running took part in the restarted race, Honda rider Iker Lecuona and Yamaha-mounted Remy Gardner both received treatment in the medical centre. Lecuona was later diagnosed with a left wrist fracture while Gardner was transported to hospital with a back contusion and suspected concussion.
