i wonder if they think this will cannibalize SUV sales and therefor not bring it stateside? Can you imagine a RWD 6 Speed Competition Wagon?!?! Obviously not happening but a cool idea nonetheless.

Now seeing this video make me realize I’m over it. I have little desire for one today. Still think it looks cool though. |

I guess someone should tell Audi, Volvo, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Buick, and even Porsche. The problem is BMW doesn't have a sales case for wagons in the US that makes sense for *them*. Enthusiasts want them, particularly performance wagons. Those actually do just fine here, even if the volume isn't high. But, as we have to mention time and again, that's the point. We like them rare and special.

The idea is it's a bit of a sleeper, like many wagons. The point is it doesn't look sporty, until you try to race one.

And giant parking lots, giant driveways, giant garages, giant side streets, etc. The first time you drive in Europe, you'll understand why a GTI is a perfectly sized family car

that's part of it, yes. but in europe SUV's are certainly purchased, but only by the very wealthy.

Import the more costly to build M3 wagon or sell just the state-side assembled, m-sport or full ///M, high-margin SAVs... easy choice for BMWNA.

My dogs will be relieved at not having to travel in the sedan trunk now...
I'm kidding, I would never put my dogs in the boot, they prefer the roof rack! |

Dear BMW please forgive me for everything I said about the grills. They're still god-awful ugly but if you make this manual and send it stateside I will shut up and even stop my comments on your IG lol.

If they kept it rear wheel drive and manual I can't imagine all the soccer moms wanting it as they all seem to think they need AWD for some reason.
