The BMW M3 Touring 24H, which had already captured the attention of the motorsport world for its fourth place at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, has once again made its presence felt during the traditional driver parade at Spa, coinciding with the 24-hour Spa event. This time, however, with a surprising detail: a roof box designed by BMW.
This vehicle traveled the roads of the Belgian Ardennes with its M roof box, which delighted fans who even requested burnouts between the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the city center.
What initially seemed like a humorous marketing strategy turned out to be a serious technical test conducted by BMW. The brand explained that they took advantage of the event to combine production accessories with motorsport technology. “The latest generation of BMW roof boxes is in the final stages of development and validation, so testing it with the M3 Touring 24H was an obvious decision,” the brand commented.
The aerodynamically optimized roof box was designed in collaboration with the Touring version of the vehicle, with a special emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency and noise reduction. Additionally, the striking rear spoiler of the vehicle perfectly complemented the design of the roof box.
The fans present enjoyed the dual functionality of the box: in addition to being a style piece, it served to transport goodies for the spectators. The vehicle was also equipped with a passenger seat, as promised in the initial presentations, thus offering a practical aspect to the collector who will acquire the vehicle.
Next stop: Goodwood Festival of Speed
After its appearance in Spa, the BMW M3 Touring will not showcase the roof box again for the rest of the weekend. The brand has confirmed that no other appearances with this accessory are planned. The vehicle will now head to a highly anticipated event for fans: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which will take place from July 23 to 26, where it will compete in the famous hill climb without its roof box, but with the same passion for achieving the best times.
