MINI GT BMW Touring Models: M3, M Performance or M5?
Choose the Portimao Blue M3 Competition Touring for that specific M3 wagon, the Sao Paulo Yellow M3 M Performance Touring for its alternate trim and finish, or the Brooklyn Grey M5 Touring for an M5-focused collection. These are different model selections, not three names for the same blue BMW.
Our collection also contains a Kaido House M3 called Touring Champ. Its name should not be mistaken for confirmation that it is the same Touring wagon body style.
Match the reference before comparing the finish
| Exact reference | Model choice | Finish | Approximate length stated |
|---|---|---|---|
| MGT01090 | M3 Competition Touring | Portimao Blue Metallic, black top | 2.875 inches |
| MGT01102 | M3 M Performance Touring | Sao Paulo Yellow, black top | Not stated in the current description |
| MGT01096 | M5 Touring | Brooklyn Grey Metallic | 2.875 inches |
| KHMG223 | Kaido M3 Touring Champ V1; different body style | Blue and white, number 25 | 3 inches |
These are individual models, not a four-car set. KHMG223 is currently unavailable and appears here to clarify the naming difference. The stated lengths describe the cars, not their boxes or blisters.
M3 Competition Touring: a blue-and-black starting point
The M3 Competition Touring, MGT01090, is finished in Portimao Blue Metallic with a black top. It suits a buyer building a blue BMW display or seeking the Competition Touring identity rather than a heavily graphic custom model.
The listing specifies rubber tires, diecast metal body and chassis, blister packaging and an approximate length of 2.875 inches. It does not document an opening tailgate, so do not buy it specifically for working cargo access without confirmation.
M3 M Performance Touring: change the trim as well as the color
The M3 M Performance Touring, MGT01102, is Sao Paulo Yellow with a black top. Compare the photographs for the represented body details rather than treating M Performance as merely the name of the yellow paint.
This release is relevant when you want the M Performance version itself or a brighter contrast beside the blue Competition model. Its current description does not state a length; request the exact measurements instead of transferring the blue M3’s 2.875-inch estimate. Compare the photographs for wheel appearance and body details, and do not infer interior dimensions from the shared 1:64 label.
M5 Touring: keep the model family intentional
The M5 Touring, MGT01096, is Brooklyn Grey Metallic with a listed sunroof. It adds an M5 wagon rather than another M3 finish.
That makes it a sensible companion for an M-family collection. A sunroof detail is not a promise that the miniature's roof panel slides or opens. Its catalog also gives a 2.875-inch approximate length; confirm physical dimensions if you are buying for a tight compartment.
The Touring Champ naming trap
The Kaido House M3 Touring Champ V1 number 25, KHMG223, is a blue-and-white custom-themed release. Its description documents alloy wheels and an opening hood.
It is currently unavailable in our catalog. Use it as a body-style reference here and check its product page for any change in availability; the three Touring wagons are separate choices, not substitutes for this exact Kaido design.
Touring Champ is the release name here, not a substitute for the explicit M3 Competition Touring designation. Match the complete vehicle title and body photographs before buying for a wagon-only shelf. The product also notes a possible chase substitution, not a guaranteed chase; factor that into an exact-color gift purchase.
One car or a coordinated trio?
For one purchase, choose the BMW model and finish you actually want. For a small wagon group, the blue M3, yellow M3 M Performance and grey M5 provide distinct identities without relying on duplicate paint variations alone.
The three wagon examples are currently available in our catalog. Use their product pages for the latest availability and price; the decision should rest on the model you want to own, not an unsupported scarcity claim.

Questions about the BMW Touring choices
Is Touring Champ another version of the M3 wagon?
No. KHMG223 is the blue-and-white Kaido design shown above, with a separate rear deck and rear wing. For a wagon collection, match M3 Competition Touring, M3 M Performance Touring or M5 Touring and the exact item number; the shared word Touring is not enough.
Will the blue M3 and grey M5 fit the same compartment?
Both current offers state approximately 2.875 inches in length, but neither number establishes equal width, height or package size. Allow space for mirrors and check all three dimensions before choosing a fitted compartment. Request the yellow M3’s measurements separately.
Does the M5 sunroof mean it opens?
No opening roof function is documented in the exact M5 offer. Treat its sunroof as a represented detail unless that specific movement is confirmed. The Kaido model’s documented opening hood is a different feature on a different body.
Do the three wagon recommendations come as one set?
No. MGT01090, MGT01102 and MGT01096 are individual offers. Choose one favorite or add the separate purchases together when comparing the delivered cost of a trio. The package-plus-enlarged-car photographs do not show extra supplied cars.
