You must have misunderstood me. I am not here to criticize wagons or to tell you not to buy one. I am merely stating what everyone already knows, namely that wagons don't sell well in America. Therefore, I doubt BMW will even attempt to bring this wagon to US. They didn't bring the great looking and relatively affordable M340i wagon to US, why should they bring this one? Further, that M3 wagon would likely directly compete with the X3M compact performance SUV that was introduced just last year. |
My guess is that the profit margin on M products must be way higher than regular Bmw products. Therefore they were able to develop a version with a manual transmission even if the sales figures are on the decline. The same rule could be applied on the touring and sold a special product just like the E63 wagon and RS6.
