The car
About this car in Porto Cervo
Gallura is rally country — the world championship round runs its gravel stages on these hills every June, on exactly the sort of loose, dusty, cambered tracks that lead up to half the villas here.
The M3 Touring is the car in this fleet that takes that seriously without being an SUV: xDrive traction, 510 hp, and 500 litres behind five seats. It goes up a gravel drive, it carries a family's luggage from Olbia, and it is low enough that the resort's underground parking is never a question.
Sapphire Black is the discreet specification for the first estate BMW's M division ever built. It travels by road and sea, arranged as soon as the dates are agreed.
