The real takeaway is that 500ish ppl have said they might buy one so if we assume some factor out for ppl that are aspirational (honest but can't make it work), then a % for those who are wishful (if I had the money) and a % for those who are just strait up lying (maybe only to themselves), if bmw brought 150 to the USA they probably could sell them all
Although Audi did that math and haven't sold out the rs6 avant

I was curious what a BMW employee thought. It is strong result in favor of the wagon. I understand it is a small sample-size, but still a very strong result.
Personally, I would be fine with a carbo-box on top of a sedan if the price was that much higher for a wagon. I would also choose the sedan if the wagon were not offered in 6MT, but it seems there is a market for Enthusiast Wagons. |
Your analysis that it is a strong amount might not even be accurate we don't actually know the ratio of "dear anonymous internet friends: I will buy one" to "actual sales". These forums have a wide mix of quality thoughtful discussion with absolute nonsense. That said I tend to agree bmw would have no issue selling an allotment of a limited production M3 wagons.
Additionally, I assume bmw already, just from the pining and commentary over the years, knows for a fact they could sell 150 wagons in the USA of a 1000 car global allotment.
The USA is not missing out on the M3 wagon because bmwna can not sell its share of the 1000 M3 wagons.... its missing out because they can't sell any 330i wagons
