I don’t get what was “leaked”? It’s an m3 with an extra row of seats

Love it. Still kinda undecided about where I stand on iDrive 8.
On the one hand, I love tech but on the other hand I miss the classic BMW interiors.

If Audi and Porsche have been able to succeed w/ performance wagons in the US, I don't see why an M3 wouldn't as well.

Even in S3 and sport plus everything, there is quite a noticeable delay. I don't think it's in the shift, more so in the time for the car to register that you hit the paddle. Analogy: 911 PDK shifts are like when you hit the paddle, you INSTANTLY shift and feel like you are DIRECTLY shifting the car. It's telepathic. It really feels like I'm driving a manual without a clutch pedal. G80 M3 felt like hitting the paddle was hitting a button on a computer, telling the car to shift, then the shift happens. It's not seamless. It's almost like if you are typing and you hit "a" and then see "a" on your screen .25 seconds later. I even hit the rev limiter during my test drive 3x That's what it feels like. You also don't "feel" the shift like you do in other DCT cars. Also, I did NOT get the same feeling shifting the F80 DCT that I did the PDK. The F80 felt rough and still, not as snappy but a slight delay vs PDK. PDK is just perfect. Almost everyone who has reviewed this car has commented on the gearbox and the delay. |

Hold tight!!
It's becoming reality…… Super excited…… What are the import rules in the USA? Impossible to import a European car? Feel for ya albeit we pay so much more for almost anything in Australia (probably 40% on BMWs!)

No. I spoke to someone from BMWNA about it, and bringing it to the US was reevaluated in late 2021, but they again concluded that the business case wasn't there.

My bmw rep says the touring will come to the US. Idk how much we can really believe that. But, I'm praying this comes to the states. Would trade my x3m comp for the touring all day.

That thing is gorgeous. Grill goes perfectly with the wagon.

Everything else pales in comparison to Porsche PDK. My 991.1 GT3 shifts are lightning fast, it made my F10 M5 feel like a sluggish cow. |

It looks exactly as we all expected, and best in black where the grilles aren't the focus.
Watching the "making of" video series, there's a completely absent shift linkage passthrough in the transmission tunnel, so you can 100% be certain that the G81 will not be available with a manual transmission. I've heard MANY rumors that the G81 will not be coming to North America, but a few sparse comments to the contrary. Sad to say if it were to bet on it, i'd guess that we won't be getting one, however, i'm reserving all judgement and BMW-NA aimed fury until it's officially confirmed. Until then, i'll see y'all on the roads ;P
