I was rummaging through my BMW news groups, this morning, and ran into this.

I guess thats where you need to park it to get some spy shots of the real thing?

This also comes to mind.

Bigfoot photos are better than this.

Agreed, not that great. But it's the whole, real car, uncovered.

It looks like BMWAG took the photo and made it look like a scoop.

Hmm, not sure if I'm really liking the wagon form on the G8x chassis.
I'm a big fan of wagons in general, from Audis to Mercs, but the aggressive design of the G8x doesn't go well with the more classic boxy proportion IMO.
I thought I was going to love the final product but I'm not so sure anymore.

AGAV13 · 03-17-2022, 12:25 PM

Now just bring it to the U.S. and we'll be all set

Is it confirmed we arent getting it in the U.S?

Niko ZV · 03-17-2022, 12:30 PM

Finally

SteveChester · 03-17-2022, 12:31 PM

It's a real shame the only phone he had on him was a Nokia 6510 - imagine he'd taken a picture with a iPhone!

eljay · 03-17-2022, 12:33 PM

Loving it!!

The rear makes the front digestable for me.

I wish it came to NA, so that I can buy it in 10 years. 😉

iviegatron · 03-17-2022, 12:34 PM

Good to know in 2022 people are still using potatoes to take pics with.

Unconfirmed, as far as I know. But if it does come, you can thank Audi for bringing the RS6 Avant, over.

Tell me about it. How is it possible, in this day and age?

NightWriter · 03-17-2022, 12:37 PM

This just in: The spy photographer's camera was found, discarded in a nearby stream.

Won't happen. Cheaper for Bmw to build x3m here and tell us it's the same thing than import a model only a small group will actually buy.

With initial limited production, hard enough with the microchip and now Ukraine wire harnesses shortage— it's a dream for the US.

Maybe y'all should contribute $250,000 plus just to cover the cost of harmonisation then send a check for $20 million to BMG AG, then it maybe it might be considered.

That rear reminds me of the Brady Bunch station wagon.🤮

Can't wait for the real life drag races between the X3M and M3 wagon.
