The story about the invention of the BMW 3 Series Touring and the beginning of the lifestyle touring. Engineer Max Reisböck wanted to go on vacation with his family, but in the mid 80's regular BMW's were too small for his luggage. That's why he invented the BMW Touring out of a wrecked 3 Series Sedan. Finally, the board of BMW took over his idea.

It's amazing how beautifully he created the first model - neat, great workmanship and finish! Like he says, BMW made minimal changes to the final project.

Amazing stuff! :thumbs:

Always loved the touring!
Really wanted an e30 325iX touring, unfortunately lost out on the car a number of years ago.
