TargaM2 · 07-03-2022, 09:19 PM

Looks fantastic in white with those rims. Lose the cannards, other than that

Looks even better with all the goodies and those wheels!

CrippledLucifer · 07-03-2022, 11:18 PM

Good God those wheels are incredible and in that color combination, that is one gorgeous vehicle despite that controversial grille. Dare I say the grille looks acceptable on the wagon for whatever reason?

Not going to happen—wagon body is not federalized. They will LOSE a ton of money and time to make it come here—likely not even possible this late in the lifecycle

It's not that late is it? Didn't they add more model years to the G generation recently because they're going to skip over the next gen that was going to be hybrid because it won't meet emission standards in enough important markets and go straight to EV only which is going to require some more time, hense the extended run for the G series.

Totally in love with this car!!

FC05 · 07-04-2022, 04:50 AM

Those just MP exhaust tips? Or the whole exhaust system?

No, I asked the same thing. Check the EAS Suspension thread and it shows a US car with this wheel. The only thing that turns me off about the wheel is the fact that I'd have to ditch my heated wheel, or I'd already have one.

Here's the thread. Post is about halfway down. Then a few posts later, I ask the question, then EAS replies.

Sigh. WTH BMW NA?

FrozenGT · 07-04-2022, 11:37 AM

I can see this car aging very well with his set up!!

it looks like it's also running what should be the new MPERFORMANCE suspension.

Am I the only one who thinks it ugly ? Normally I love a touring. Way too much going on with this car. Over styled.

You are not alone my brother. I do not like that profile.

Also, I don't think BMW is wrong in not offering this stateside. They'd sell a dozen of these. I like the idea too, but would instantly regret buying a station wagon.

In Germany the amount of station wagons is insane. Couldn't believe how many I saw in Munich when I went to pick up my M4 back when European delivery was a thing.

That grill! It’s crazy since it STILL hasn’t grown on me since the g80 came out

It’s a grill only a mother could love. IMHO, it’s not attractive at all. Rear end is nice though.

I was curious and I asked my nephew how this car looks. He said it’s ugly. That really says a lot because he’s just a kid. LOL!

BMW should’ve done a LCI on the front end of the touring at least. You know to make it a little bit different from the rest.

330d Beast · 07-05-2022, 06:23 PM

It's a super model with the face of a dropped pie 😞

I was shocked that anyone thought this is an attractive car lol.

All the carbon and M design bits look good that's probably what attracts people. But the front end is embarrassing. It looks worse on the wagon vs the sedan, which is saying a lot

Sean@PSI · 07-06-2022, 04:24 PM

The M Performance parts look amazing on the G81!

Sunnystone · 07-06-2022, 05:14 PM

Love the gold wheels against the white, uncluttered bodywork. There is a ferocious brutality wrapped up in a family friendly package. Love it.

Sublime00 · 07-07-2022, 07:26 PM

Car looks awesome.

Except for those stupid cannards, which look stupid on every car.

E21-myfirstlove · 07-07-2022, 09:24 PM

So I read there will be an m5 wagon for the US with next model, so the wagon can be developed with this in mind. The hybrid V8 layout. Suspect they will offer the M3 wagon next go around, when that one has a hybrid powertrain. Clearly they are making a statement with two M wagons, and the XM essentially also a wagon.

I think the front fender vent (behind wheel) really ruins the lines. Breaks up the flow. The horizontal direction was better for those vents IMO.
