Fully Uncovered BMW G81 M3 Touring Spotted in the Wild

ToMorNotToM · 03-17-2022, 12:56 PM

I think I see a bunch of Elmer Fudd prospective hunters waiting for the kill(order) shot

SteveChester · 03-17-2022, 12:57 PM

@Limegrntaln can you post the link to the original news group you found it on?

spuntyb · 03-17-2022, 12:58 PM

This is the only way I can accept the G8x design language. I'll be taking no questions.

Please send these to the US. If you haven't already, please sign and share the Change.org petition to show BMW there's a sales case for sending these to their wagon enthusiasts here in the US.

Let's start a go fund me to pay for the US crash safety tests so BMW won't have an excuse anymore! Haha

I guess whoever took these photos is still rocking the iPhone 1.

The pictures were literally just dropped in a FB G80 M3|M4 owners group, with no explanation, except "Sshhhh"

nice!

Someone clearly has a phone made from a potato because the quality is not good.

Seanpatio · 03-17-2022, 03:19 PM

Shot on the Potato 12 Pro Max.. LOL

All jokes aside, this is going to one bad ass wagon. Ugly bumper, but bad ass.

I saw an RS-6, yesterday, in Java Green on the highway, it was definitely nice. The 22s are a little too big for my liking, but it's bad ass.

I'm waiting to see if I get a Z06 early on. If not, I'm grabbing the RS-6

The Z06 may be after my M4, unless I can get a C4S GTS allocation.

I'm a big fan of wagons in general, from Audis to Mercs, but the aggressive design of the G8x doesn't go well with the more classic boxy proportion IMO.
I thought I was going to love the final product but I'm not so sure anymore.

I have the same initial reaction. The G80 and G82 have both grown on me after seeing them in person. Hopefully the camera just doesn't do this justice either.

I really like the RS6, but I would never pay above sticker for it. Give me an X5MC or M5CS any day over the Audi at >$125K.

Will still be cool to see some videos of the M3 wagon racing some exotic SUVs.

seis-speed · 03-17-2022, 06:47 PM

Could a manual swap be done from the parts of a base G80?

I would imagine, but since you have the trans out, already, I'd put a better clutch in it.

I second this. The hatchback aspect truly looks like an afterthought and the lines just don’t seem to work. Worst looking model out of the bunch to me.

Hpirx · 03-17-2022, 08:03 PM

Could Alpina bring a version over?
We all know the chances of BMW NA getting it are zip.

M3_Legend · 03-17-2022, 11:35 PM

Lol Seriously what camera did you use??

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 03-17-2022, 11:54 PM

Non crisp & unclear digital photos are such a tease...

Munich S65 · 03-17-2022, 11:59 PM

Looking good!! I spy a v12 LMR ish looking car on the opposite side.
