To those saying it's not coming stateside - hear me out. Yes the odds are low, but also think, Audi brought the RS6 for a REASON! There must be some demand out there for sport wagons. I think this thing comes stateside to compete with the RS6. No way bmw won't get it on that action and let Audi dominate the market.

There are 2 major factors that made the business case for the C8 RS6 Avant

- A6 Allroad to offset the C8 station wagon specific costs to market

- The main battery is not inside the passenger compartment.

The RS4 Avant and RS5 Sportback. A RS6 Avant competitor would be a M5 Touring.

Reading between the lines here, it sounds like counter points to the the M3 wagon having a chance to reach NA. From you, I personally would take that as word that it’s not happening. Unfortunately since I would have enjoyed seeing them around. Would brighten up the dealership visits even if I have no plans to park one in my own drive way.

M4 all the way for me

Since BMW hasn’t certified any wagons for the US, including crash testing and so on, the chances of this making it to the US are zero. Nill. Won’t happen. Sorry guys.

I know. I would have got a 340 touring if they came to Oz but an M version is even better. Will definitely get this.

This car is perfect for me. Two kids and a surfing family. So much better for putting boards on a touring roof than a stupid suv.

I think Europe is still the bigger market for M cars than NA and maybe Asia. And wagons still get some love in certain European countries. In Sweden the most sold car is the V60 followed by the V90...and it has been like that for the last decades. Wagon domination...

I hope it is real.
there is something charming about high-performance wagons.
it is going to be the best family car ever!

It's coming, just not to the USA as stated by C&D's update on that article

[Darth One]

Motor Trend says BMW told them nope - its not coming to the US.


https://www.motortrend.com/news/bmw-...urce=instagram

"BMW doesn't sell any wagons here. And while the 3 Series wagon has been sold in the states before, but the current version of the long-roofed 3er isn't available to U.S. buyers (only the 3 Series sedan is). So, again, will the United States get the long-awaited M3 wagon? We reached out to BMW for comment with our fingers crossed, and, well, nope. The M3 Touring is not coming here."

[Germanauto]

X3M is probably hot in the states, doubt the estate comes here.

[seis-speed]

The posters and media outlets saying no way this comes to the US is reminiscent of the crowd sating that there is zero chance the G80 would have a manual transmission.

Let's wait until BMW says one way or the other....

An M3 touring with a manual = My dream car.

But they already have? This isn't people speculated, they have been flat out told it's not coming to the states.

The whole manual transmission issue was all speculation, BMW never mentioned it not being available nor did I read a report of them saying it wouldn't be available on the F8X.

Besides, not sure how well it would sell. All the hype around the RS 6 but in Canada (GTA), from what I'm told is there isn't much interest. Sure there have been inquiries but the interest doesn't match the hype on the internet - everyone would get a performance wagon if it came here. In fact I know someone who already has an order...the sales manager at an Audi dealership.

[Dog Face Pony Soldier]

New-used comparisons suck, but a CPO Porsche Sport Turismo is probably around the same price as what an M3T would be.

[luvthestck]

It won’t come to the US....Thank you BMW..Fuck you

[zuschnell]

BMW, bring this to the US of A!!!!! Now.
Does anyone have some connections to make this happen.

Scott26, you out there???

That is all.

A few old builds to wet your American wagon hearts...

[5218201a]

Lol
It doesn't matter how good it looks from the back

With that grill, it's a no no for me
