Bump for great justice! I signed the petition.

100% if G81 was announced for US I would buy. My 2018 S4 lease is up in June 2021 at which point timing would be great for me to put an order in for a G81. If not, I will still consider a manual G80. I would of course prefer manual but we all know there's no way a manual M3 wagon would ever make it here. I would still be willing to vote with my wallet and buy the M3 wagon just to show BMW that people do want a high performance wagon in the hopes that more get produced.

I believe there is a big difference between regular 3-series buyers and M buyers, in terms of a wagon especially. An M3 wagon would most likely sell way way way better than a regular 3-series wagon ever did because the type of person in the USA who *wants* a wagon, is most likely the same type of person who would want an M version of it. It would definitely sell at the proper price point. I do not think AMG and Audi are good comparisons because their wagons are super-wagons. The RS6 *starts* at $109,000.

All right guys, just checked out the X3M & X4M Competition, besides for the lackluster glossy rims with clear-coat, and they are obviously not equipped with sport performance run-flat tires, which I now swear by as they've save me multiple times. These M SAV's have a doughnut/small spare, NOT a full-sized spare tire and because of Poor engineering there is a total lack of trunk space which is the whole point of getting an Performance SAV over the M3 & 4M.

There's one major problem, due to not having performance run-flat tires BMW will take away valuable trunk space just as they did with the X3M & X4M. I'm NOT happy ☹️ with the lack of trunk space! Actually I'm totally disappointed 👎🏻!

That's the whole point of wanting and purchasing a very expensive M Touring!

the spare is an option. you can build your X3M/X4M to come with a mobility kit with no spare at all, giving you that extra bit of rear trunk space.

On Rennlist, people are having a hard time getting an RS6 allocation. Wagon demand is strong! Unfortunately that has allowed dealers to be ridiculous. ADM off the charts. We need more wagons so this type of thing does not happen.

Yup. It's out of control, but people are actually paying $10k over MSRP right now.

I am a manual only person so I do not want one, but after seeing an RS4 Avant manual in Europe back in 2013, I always thought it was the perfect family car and have lusted after wagons ever since. RS4 / M3 size is perfect for me.

In the link I posted one dealer wants $199k. That is insane!!

OK, wait a second, you're telling me here in the U.S. 🇺🇸 you have with the X4M an option "without" a spare donut/tire? BMW will give you full trunk space? That is news to me, if that is true that is awesome!

But I do not like having a spare tire. With that said I TRUST my modern Bridgestone Potenza run-flats to get me home safely, they are awesome!

... as much loss and conquest the i8 and the i3 did. Or the M8 Coupe and Convertible.

Just bring the G81 to the USA and see what happens. BMW has done much worse sales with absurd models in the USA (looking at you, 3- and 5GT).

The Worlds first BMW F81 M3 CS Touring!

Now this is what I'm talking about !!!

I think I would flip my lid if BMW actually made an M3 Club Sport Touring, OMG! My only requests would be to have a functioning armrest with compartment, fully folding rear seats with center pass-through, and a solid Carbon Fiber Roof with OEM roof rack mounting bolts/brackets!

Oh yeah, and it must be brought to North America 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦!

Could you freaking imagine CS Touring with a full Carbon Fiber Roof with OEM roof rack mounting brackets, that would be next level!!! That's how you would make a proper entrance especially here in the States 🇺🇸!
