It is and likely will be my last manual ever. Will replace it with an RS after this. The E63 is actually gone. I have a panamera gts wagon on order. The e63 was nice but had more than a handful of things I hated. First and last mercedes. But it was fun on track, my wife and I put these things to work!! (My macan GTS has seen a few track days as well. If I own it, it earns it's keep)

You have to love the fast estates (station wagons). It will be interesting to see just how popular the M3 touring will be. Personally, I think it will sell well.

This is completely a TSLA inspiration agreed... I don't think the austere and everything in the touch panel no direct buttons is an improvement...

This type of performance wagon is only the car I ever need. Hard to imagine how good G81 M3 will be when BMW brings it to the next level.

Next step will be, you don't have a dash at all, you have to bring your iPad and connect it to the car

Gray markets exist, but are likely impractical.

Also, remember warranty is not from BMW GmbH, it’s from BMW NA... so you would completely forfeit new car warranty in addition to markups, shipping, and logistics.

It would be a direct competitor to the Audi RS 6 Avante, which goes for $130k+. Saw one the other day with a $50k mark up, so $180k for a $130k car. I think demand would be there, even with a fat premium
Why would it compete with the RS6?

In BMW's markets there already is a 5 series touring and the M5 touring if they made one would compete with the RS6.

The G81 is a natural competitor to the RS4 wagon that Audi sells in most markets. Just like the M3 sedan is a competitor to the RS4 sedan.

Honestly tho if I had the money to do it I'd just order them through GMBH and when it comes stateside just list it on BaT

I guess they would indirectly compete, because there is no RS4 sedan and no M5 touring. The only maker that offers a high performance wagon in both segments is AMG.

Because they don't make an M5 touring, and they don't sell the RS4 in the US. I agree the RS4 would be a competitor, or the M5 touring, but neither of those exist in the US.

My point was that I don't think they would struggle to find people willing to drop $100k+ on the M3 touring in the US, particularly if it was a limited run

To me it's actually more justification. It puts it in attainable exotic category.
