They make all these silly crossovers like the GT but we can't have a M wagon?

Those have worked out great huh?

One question about the G21 LCI, will that be at the same time as the G20 LCI (7/2022), or maybe even at the same time as the G81 launch?

Sedan and touring models always share an LCI.

Cool news on the Touring, not my thing but will make a LOT of people very happy.
That's only 2 model years. LCI very soon, indeed.

The lci is for the entire 3 series range and is on track for the normal interval, the late arrival of the M3 gives it a shorter pre-lci run. Exact same thing happened with the f80.

There's something about a blacked out high-performance touring vehicle. To me they're the most imposing thing on the road.

Totally agree. M5 and M8 are impressive but when you see an RS6 Wagon you know who's the boss

Hi

I am in the market for a M3 Touring, cant wait. One question though: is there any change that a trailer hitch will be available as an option? I definitely need this to transport bikes (not to tow anything). On the M3 sedan and The M4 there is (obviously) no trailer hitch available. Anybody know if this will come for the Touring? It is kind of a deal breaker for me.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry, but Touring is not getting the hitch either.

I see the option list as it currently is, and 3AC is not there.

I strongly suspect it's not compatible with the M exhaust.

Thank you, appreciate it. Too bad. Need to get an Alpina B3 instead I guess...

You can wait until a G81 M3 is 25 years old and import one to the states without any major modifications.

Just need to wait until 2047!
