Americans are not going to buy a touring wagon in large enough numbers to justify the car. Yes, they want the lowest payments, but for the biggest cars They can afford. Trucks and SUVs rule in the US with no room for wagons. It’s hard enough to sell sedans in the US.

And don’t forget the the Cybertruck launch next year. That thing will suck up all the air in the automotive room for years and likely poach buyers from all kinds of segments in the US. Not the time to take a risk on the all already risky endeavor of making the numbers work on the G81 in the US.

IF it does make it to NA you can bet your newborn that it will be auto and AWD only. As Chris Harris said, we just need for someone in the aftermarket to fix the grills and I would get one.

Early stages I know, but hopefully they'll do something about the roof/trunk spoiler. Similar to the M Performance one or even more aggresive.

They have to bring this to North America.

Audi brought the RS6 and Merc has the E63 wagon, this is the least Bmw can do for us.

The new M3 is already 5 inches longer than the F80, mind as well allow us to use the space efficiently.

This car w/ 6MT is the perfect car for my needs. Another observation, the grilles look great on the wagon, they seem more proportional, IMO.

LIDAR puck. There's one on the rear behind the roof aerial as well.

Updated technology; Electronics Service Pack 2022.

*Edit to add:

The Front LIDAR won't be on the roof in the production version. The rear LIDAR will be combined along with with the rear view camera in the revised dorsal aerial.

Assuming the same flared rear fender on the G80 as the G81, it looks equal to the F80 in "flared-out-ness." Many people have posted to the contrary.
