For now. When you're milking the "build it and they will come" customer base, you ALWAYS suck in additional sales. Duh.

so I moved up from the X3 to X6 because the X3 interior was so dated, a new gen and M version could change all that, especially in the leather seat department! and the price of a X3M should be right about the same as the MSRP on my X6 lease. Not sure my wife would be okay with a M version of her daily driver though, maybe I will just tell her its the M Sport like we always get
I am guessing the X3M and X4M will use the F80 engine. I can't imagine they would have less power otherwise what is the point since there is a M40i with 355hp |

Now that Bmw have money for a F97 where is the F81? I find it strange that Mercedes, Audi/VW and Volvo is investing on wagon when Bmw is just throwing the towel.

Been thinking about the next gen SQ5 b/c I couldn't swing the $100k+ for an X5M. Since I'm already used to the size, the X3M would be great! |

When can we expect to see the X2? Sometime this calendar year? I think that's going to be an awesome little car...

I still have mine in Interlagos Blue. I know of one F11 M5 Touring built for somebody internally.

Its in development.

Crossovers are the new cars for this generation. Nice profit generators too. Porsche and everyone else is slicing the schnitzel pretty thin these days.

As a UK F80 owner I'm super excited about the X3M
Needs merino leather and special (X5M) seats, Dakota leather like the M2 will NOT cut it in this car. |

Its a Q-Car meaning it uses the body of the M550d Touring but the engine and drivetrain from the M5. Its inconspicuous. So you need to know what you are looking for. But that was the idea.

I don't understand why BMW won't build a M5 wagon, or better yet M3 wagon! Surely the development cost is tiny given most of the hardware is already there. I would buy one in an instant!

I would buy that in a heartbeat. I love the F31 wagon.
