Just read that BMW Canada won't be selling the G21 model either.

F*ck F*ck F*CK North America and it's love of SUVs.

And the funny thing they're not even SUVs but raised wagons.
I'd understand if you want a 4runner, Land Cruiser, Gelan, and other real SUVs, but x1 and x2 aren't SUVs

Exactly I'm so tired of stupid crossover that are jack of all trades but master of none. Real offroaders make total sense but not the raised Wagon we have now.

It's true.

G21 was never on the table for Canada either, but I've just reviewed my main thread and realized I never made it clear. For that I'm sorry.

I think you were pretty clear from the start that it was the end even for Canadian market. I just had hope since Mercedes is offering the C-Class Wagon in Canada but not in USA. And that when there is a Mercedes in a certain segment Bmw is never far behind.

I asked bmw canada last year and they said it was on the table. Guess they changed their minds. Dumb dumb dumb.

Now the question is, do I trade in my 440 GC for a 2018-9 328d touring?

There's a few that are available in my area and it's tempting. But, given that a) its a diesel and b) it's a completely discontinued model...would I be shooting myself in the foot? (Resale value wise)

I've also never been a fan of diesels...although, I hear they've gotten much better over the years.

Buy the 330i if you don't want a diesel.

For resale, being one of the last cars of a type is only a plus. Make it even more unique by ordering M Sport and Track.

Does anyone know if BMW will officially introduce the G21 at the Geneva Auto Show ?

I can't find a press release from BMW

Agreed. Do it now. Don’t dawdle.

Poncho38 · 03-07-2019, 11:05 AM

Oddly, I was just at my local dealer and they said BMW Canada may still bring the G21 in.

In other news...I guess the G21 isn't making it's debut in Geneva?

BMW435 · 03-11-2019, 03:37 AM

Closer and closer...

Audi is getting ready with the A6 wagon for us in Canada, but BMW don't see a business case

why bother with the camouflage? It's not like we don't know what it looks like.

WestCoast76 · 03-12-2019, 04:01 PM

Looks great !

Any idea of the official presentation ? It was foreseen for the Geneva Motor Show but it was not at the end !

Last info from german forums is that G21 orders are starting from June and deliveries are starting from September.

That being said, touring looks great on these last pics. Can't wait to see it without the camouflage.

I'm also surprised it was not unveiled at Geneva. If Calamari's info is correct it really doesn't leave much time for it to be presented before orders start in June.

Although it may be still for nought - BMW Australia is yet to confirm whether we'll see the G21 downunder.

There has been some back and forth with the dates of G21 official presentation. Back in October 2018 when G20 was released, it was said that G21 will probably be presented in Geneva AS. However, it looks like G21 presentation was delayed.

We can only speculate why G21 release didn't happen in Geneva. It seems that BMW decided to put focus on it's hybrid versions, because "e" models got the biggest publicity on their stand. If we consider this in the light of Tesla Model 3 just coming to EU market this month, it's a perfectly reasonable move to attract buyers that are considering electric/hybrid cars this year. It's very likely that G21 was postponed because "e" models were prioritized for this q1 of 2019.

Meanwhile in Canada Mercedes is offering the C43 wagon.

When is the Estate Wagon coming out? Which motor show will it debut?
