Official: A New Dimension. The First BMW M3 Touring Confirmed.

BMW M4 Touring Rendering 👍🏻

DCG · 08-13-2020, 04:38 PM

Finally a BMW M3 Touring with M xDrive!!! 🤘🏻

It must be brought to North America 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦!

Grew up with a VW and amazing Volvo manual rear-wheel drive Wagons here in the States 🗽.

BMW foolishly discontinued the 3 Series Touring, unfortunately. Sedans at a certain age are useless even with fold-down rear seats. The X4 w/xDrive is the only other option that suits my needs, but not sure if I want to go with a heavier vehicle. I want to go fast 💨 and be able to carry stuff 🚲 + 🥁 + 🎿, and be able to easily bug-out if necessary.

It boggles the mind why BMW has not made a proper M3 Touring yet after all these years.

Bring it to the US!

MFNATIK · 08-13-2020, 10:02 PM

What a shame...an F81 would have been more fitting since they actually brought wagons here during the F gen. I guess this one won't be coming stateside since they aren't going to make wagons for the NA market.

Plus 2 sold new here! Unsure how many there were in South Africa, AU, HK, Singapore, Japan but there must have been a few in each.

Haha that's a really cool render. 3 door fast back style. Can't see it looking like that ... or coming to you guys in NA.

Think I might have to have a close look. Would be super rare to see in Oz as well which is always good.

Thanks for the advice.

No worries - I've been slowly turning my e30 weekender into an Alpina B6 replica. Have the 3.5L engine, suspension, LSD, wheels and Recaros. Just the spoilers / sticker kit + a bit of interior stuff left to do now

Have always loved Alpina.

I could see it here in Canada, we buy a lot more wagons than the US.

Mercedes seem to be wise enough to notice it i doubt bmw Canada will.

cbertels · 08-14-2020, 09:58 AM

Finally get my wish and it will no doubt have that hideous grill. If the grill is sorted I'll be the first to put their money where their mouth is if it makes it to the states.

BMW NA already has this product available for you, it's called the X5M/X6M, plenty of room and it's fast 💨

Can always strip out the rear seats to save weight😂

I have no links to the BMW org.

But just as an educated guess, I would put the probability of US G81 at just below 0%.

You must, at the very least, refuse to buy another BMW until they produce and sell the vehicle you want. Otherwise, you are undermining your own cause. As long as they know that you will buy another of their products in the absence of the one you claim to want them to produce, you have completely disincentivized them to make any changes.

Done--i have held on to my E90 M3 because of this. After two e36s and this E90, this is the first car that i would seriously pay full sticker for.

IDK, but I was honestly (probably stupidly) wondering the same thing. We need a campaign.

That Pic.....

And I agree....definitely mind boggling.

How do we find Kevin Phillips head of bmw USA M's email?

If we could start an email campaign hopefully they hear our interest and reconsider!

No campaign/petition is going to make a US G81 possible.

I went from an e92 to an e46. I literally went backwards as I feel that's where the better bmws are. That should tell them all they need to know.

Sharpen that sword and take a fall. It's IMPOSSIBLE to do. Ignoring all the major obstacles pointed out already, the time isn't there either.
