M3 will satisfy the hardcore

M3 Touring for those that want M3 power but have compromises but don't want a SUV

X3M for those who feel they need a SUV for whatever reason

I think if Audi can make it work, then BMW can as well and it's not as if the new RS4 is a perfect car.

Let's hope this sees the light of day. I think it'll shows us what the G20/G21 LCI will look like.

Great to not have to choose an SUV!

The RS4 is so sensible to drive, it's actually boring!

If you have a family/regularly move big items, instead of being stuck with a SUV as your only choice, you can have an M3 instead.

The idea is maximum practicality while still having a very fast and fun car.

Number of people at US dealerships to buy one: 0

They have no confirmation that it will come to the US, they are speculating.

M division: "Those grills don't look like they are a hit.... Release the secret weapon, M Touring!"

Jblack4083 · 08-12-2020, 03:05 PM

Yep, BMW has officially lost its way. Big win for the drivers and making more models available for EVERYONE. Big loss for the M brand as it further gets diluted.

Wagons only make people excited on social media and forums. Nobody will buy this in real life (as has always been the situation with these). I'd argue the X3M and X4M will prove more popular.

to_riffic · 08-12-2020, 03:07 PM

Should have made one with the F80 body because that grill....can't do it.

I don't know what the hate is all about. I may get death threats for this but the opinions are subjective and even worse if you present them as facts.

Lol, I have a 3 wagon and would definitely buy one of these in a second if it were offered here. I also know many others who would as well. I live in Florida also by the way

I had an F31 and would have got a G21 if they offered one in the US. If they actually offer here, I will most certainly put my money where my mouth is.

Number of people at US dealerships to buy one if the price hike on the wagon weren't astronomical: 0 + many more!

eljay · 08-12-2020, 03:25 PM

Well, the hell did freeze over and cows came home. Wow. Is it April 1st?

This will be a fantastic car. Certainly beyond my wallet just like an RS6, but if they came here, I can buy one when they are 7-8 years old.

I'd love an RS4 Avant the most actually.

Will it have 3 pedals?

AlexFL · 08-12-2020, 03:30 PM

BMW should make an X7-based performance pickup truck like the new Ram TRX Hellcat

535i MSport · 08-12-2020, 03:31 PM

Did I read that right - two years...?

TheBingoBalls · 08-12-2020, 03:31 PM

It's confirmed that it is not coming to North America so I guess that's that...

12nine · 08-12-2020, 03:36 PM

I don’t want to stress it too much, but we already had the topic one month ago 😜

Ayo what??? I wanna be excited for this , props to BMW for bringing a wagon. But that front bumper really ruins everything

cwhands · 08-12-2020, 03:54 PM

M TYPICAL APPEARANCE.
A 6-cylinder M TwinPower turbo engine beneath the bonnet has been confirmed, while the widened axles, conspicuously large front air intakes and four exhaust tailpipes at the rear leave little doubt that the iconic M DNA will be clear for all to see, even with the car’s new body design. One thing is already certain: the BMW M3 Touring is not coming to the US market.

Yep, not coming to the USA, according to Road & Track, as well.

Sad but true

Jacked up Crossover SUVs with unusable roof racks are the new normal
