BMW only made 1 prototype of the E46 M3 in a touring body. This is one of the builds that enthusiasts like me have done to recreate the car that BMW should have produced.
Everything from the M3 that could be swapped over was pretty much transferred to this wagon. Unfortunately none of the bodywork is a direct fit, so it all had to be custom modified to fit.
Engine, 6 spd transmission, differential, subframes, and exhaust system were all taken from a donor M3.
M3 front seats were installed and the whole interior was reupholstered with red seats with perforated centers and black suede headliners, pillars.
