I guess this pole really shows M4 Vert owners aren't usually enthusiasts (therefore not on the forums) and on the opposite end the high choice of the wagon shows that BMWs core enthusiasts really like the idea of a wagon... put profit aside and make a product for the people who actually advocate and interact with your company in my opinion.

Hey hey ! I love my F83 Ferrari red vert. And yes I also had an f82z the F83 is the perfect /// in every way.

I'm sure the manual transmission wagon choice in this poll would have gathered the most votes. But the reality is that less than 0.1% of the wagon voters would actually go and buy one. That's the paradox of internet hypocrisy.

Agreed. For the dads that want an automatic, I feel they have options...with the X3M, X5M.

For the Dads that want a manual, we have nothing. So, I would say the manual wagon is opening new doors.

And be trying to graft a M340 bumper on the next day

100% agree that if BMW charged extra for this car (Touring) I would still buy it. Would need to be cheaper than an RS6 for sure but they can certainly mark this up and still have my interest. Just bring the damn thing!!!

Wow I can't believe you guys made a petition. OK those who voted to have the wagon come state, you guys ready to buy it? Cause if you voted for it you should be ready to buy this car, no ifs ands or buts. I didn't think so.

Everyone in the US just wants to stir the pot. Put your money where your mouth is.

This is the part that the accountants will miss. There is a strong core of BMW enthusiasts that are also wagon aficionados. We currently have an F31 that my son drives and a Volvo V90 for my wife. We have had multiple X5's and an X3 M40i, but they don't scratch the same itch as a wagon. It is us as the core enthusiasts that help influence a disproportionate number of BMW sales. I can point to direct influence of 50+ BMW purchases by friends over the last ten years outside of my own purchases. Those friends look at us (the members of this forum) as the "experts" on cars and ask for our recommendations on their vehicle purchases.

Oh piss off, it's not going to happen anyways

Remember the last two times BMW was successfully petitioned?

Yeah the E30 and E36 Ms really didn't sell well at all 🙄

Here's another thing to consider for BMW, the G81 M3 Touring would also pull potential buyers of the E63 and RS6 wagons. Those are $120K+ cars where as the G81 will have a starting MSRP of what, ~$70k? That's a $50k savings for people considering getting a performance wagon. Granted, the M3 is a smaller car and a different class, but for performance wagons, the options are already so slim for picking. That puts more people in the door for BMW. It's a win for them and us, the enthusiasts.

Bring the wagon to the states, BMW!

Yes ready to purchase today, you are stirring the pot by commenting on something you don't have interest in. Pot meet kettle.

As a current f31 owner that's in the very beginning stages of f81 conversion, and also owning 4 previous m3's. I would be waiting like people do lined up outside of an apple store the day let us put deposits down.

For someone like me this is having my cake and eating it too so it would be a no brainer. I hate SUV's (have owned several and hated every second of owning them) and need more capacity than a sedan offers having 4 dogs. G81 would be the ultimate road trip car.

Sweet I'll believe it when I see it.

I'd love to see the touring myself in the states, I'm not in the market for one however.

Oh and cry me a river. This is the internet after all
