This M3 Touring needs a manual transmission… for those of us that love to drive with more control and more engagement.
But if it isn't coming to North America… the point is moot.

Would've been great to have a manual, but realistically speaking, it's not viable for BMW. Only you North Americans would buy some. ROW markets don't give a fuck about manual transmissions.
I bet xDrive is selling as well as Competition, if not better... and since this is a wagon, the case for AWD slushbox is that much stronger. xDrive Competition is thus the ideal variant for the majority of M3 Touring buyers.
