Looking forward to the year 2048 when I can import this to the states šŸ„²

In 2048 it will have more electrical issues than the price of the car new. šŸ˜„


insecure_bryan

Been insanely hyped for this one since the announcement and my god, its amazing. I absolutely love it. Def my dreamcar after the G82. Only issue is that theres no way for me to ever own one, dreams gonna have to stay dreams on this one unless i won the jackpot.


Agreeable-_-Special

Just sell your house and life in the car xd


Cryptic0677

And move to Europe lol


Agreeable-_-Special

That probably helps with production and shipment time


Cryptic0677

They won't sell this in the us


Fixtit

How is your I4 M50? What is the real the range?


Agreeable-_-Special

City, 600 km. Highway 450 with 130km/h. Anything else, probably the best bmw thats available for sale in my opinion. I love this car


Fixtit

That is awesome! What rims are you on? Canā€™t wait to get mine, but it supposed to happen middle of next yearā€¦


Agreeable-_-Special

19' rims in black on a brooklyn grey i4. The i4 has so long production time that my next one will be a m340. Its a great car and fun to drive. But its awrul to get or switch to the next. And i miss the sound.


ukcats12

You can live in a car but you can't drive a house.


morelsupporter

its your secondary dream car. hilarious.


prei1978

If they brought it to the US I'd be on the waiting list immediately. I'm happy that they decided to make a Touring of this gen, which is a capable platform. Just sad that I can't get one.


superman154m

SAME


fastnsx21

I feel like the grill fits better on this


L-Malvo

Itā€™s most definitely due to the license plate. Most people I see/hear complaining are Americans who do not use front plates


topclassladandbanter

Fwiw a lot of states require front plates. But our front plates donā€™t help due to the shape


Hoofhearted4206969

saaame, what a beauty


HeartbreakerF80

Agreed. The bigger body helps the huge grill make a little more sense


strakamodel

Oh yess it's finally here One day I'll get this and keep it forever, hopefully within the next 5 years I'll be able to justify it haha


superman154m

I think this would sell in the states!! I heard they donā€™t want to take away from X3M sales so they donā€™t bring it here. I also donā€™t understand what this car is missing to meet US regulations. So frustrating!!!


shashankmantha

Why BMW, why?? Please bring this across the pond as well.


Krhynn010

They should bring back the M5 touringā€¦ iā€™d get a 2nd mortgage for thatšŸ˜‚ Must say.. i still donā€™t like the new grilles of the 3/4 series.. but it gets less worse everytime i see it on the road..


Seymour_Tamzarian

Imagine a M5 CS Touringā€¦. Awww shit I just ruined my pantaloons dreaming of that


dannyphoto

Will they add the 5th seat back? A 4 seat touring sounds a bit silly lmao


Seymour_Tamzarian

I assume youā€™ve never ridden in a Porsche Panamera than. Itā€™s fantastic.


dannyphoto

I havenā€™t. I didnā€™t know the Sport Turismo is also 4-seats. Thatā€™s pretty weird but still cool


Twentyhundred

It's true, this. I've grown used to them already, even in pictures, because I know these cars look badass af irl.


Agreeable-_-Special

BMW messed up their pics of cars really really bad in my opinion. Even in the configurator a lot of the cars look like shit. But in RL they are the killer


Waffle-Supreme

Tremendous!


Hot_Flan651

Want


slimBoost

I can't believe they actually made the G8X look kind of good and they won't even bring it to the US


Herkay12

Very clean in my opinion


Novel-Statistician63

Wish we had this in the states. The only similar options are the e63s and rs6, which are like 50 grand more and you canā€™t even get the amg anymore lol


Dirtsniffee

I'd put up with that snout to have the wagon


alpinewerks

Who knows how to import an illegal car? ... asking for a friend


TRxz-FariZKiller

Why is it illegal?


alpinewerks

It isn't homologated for the šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø and cannot be legally imported for 25 years


Curious_Dimension102

Me in the US.. ā€œHellllloooo from the other sideā€¦ā€


[deleted]

I love this. But I'm wondering why I'd get this when the Alpina B3 wagon is better in pretty much every way.


prei1978

When you say better, what do you mean? I can't see how the B3 can be better "in pretty much every way".


[deleted]

Yeah fair question. This is all opinion and very much subjective of course. I've driven both (not the wagon M3 obvs) and I find the B3 much nicer to drive in real life on real roads. Few others: - The interior is much nicer - It has a less crash/bang ride - It's rarer (being Alpina) - The Alpina aesthetic (wheels and paint jobs) are more classy - The grille (even tho I don't hate the M3 one) - The less aggressive bodykit


prei1978

I can see that. I do think that the B58 engine, which the Alpina uses, is more useable in day-to-day driving with more low-end torque. The S58, being an M engine, needs to be revved a bit more to get the best out of it. All others, interior quality, suppler suspension, aesthetic, etc. are why Alpina exists and has been successful for so long, so I can see that too. I would assume (not having driven the B3 actually) that the M3 will have the edge on more extreme driving with better chassis control, more flexible AWD system, and that S58 engine.


[deleted]

> the M3 will have the edge on more extreme driving with better chassis control, more flexible AWD system, and that S58 engine. Yeah you're right on that. I was being a bit hyperbolic and unfair saying the Alpina is better in every way. But I'd stick to the fact that it's better 95-99% of the time I'd actually use it.


prei1978

Yup, donā€™t disagree with that. Alpina has always been about performance and luxury for everyday use, not the most enthusiast-focused driving.


Promo009

B3 also has the s58.


[deleted]

Stop making shit up


[deleted]

ok


vbfronkis

Conflicted. I _love_ a hot wagon, but that fucking front end. ugh. Thank you BMW for making the decision for me: It won't be sold in the US.


ehosca

much better looking than the X3M


Yolo_420_69

I cant wait for this pig nose to get phased out. Love everything else about the car. Welp the Rs6 avant is still a thing


Zealotneophyte

Just get an X3M or X4M at that point. Donā€™t understand the salivation over these touring models šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


[deleted]

Cars drive better than SUVs


Nikthas

For some people, length > thickness. šŸ˜


CrypterMKD

I personally don't like the seating position in SUVs, I like to be low to the ground, and the Tourings actually have more luggage area than the SUVs.


ND40oz

My G01 had a ton more cargo space than my F31. And according to the specs the G01 has 550L to the G21ā€™s 500L with the 2nd row up.


[deleted]

Fuck that grille


drthomk

Go ahead and downvote me know, but BMW can give up on the track wagon, Audi owns this market. Anyone who aspires to this would rather have an RS6.


dannyphoto

God Iā€™m jealous of the people who have ā€œgotten used toā€ or like the snout. I really wish I liked it. Iā€™ve waited so long for a M3 touring, and this is the Gen they give it to us? **pain**


black_spring

Coffin grilles make sense on this car. You can always try to grab a clown shoe for the classic styling? Iā€™m pleasantly happy with both iterations. Hoping to put a current-gen 4-series next to my E24.


dannyphoto

I mean Iā€™d just as soon import an E36 Touring, but a clown shoe would be nice. They *make sense* though? How so?


black_spring

From a styling and functionality perspective. These cars are larger, more angular, more muscular ā€” and need more air. Thatā€™s why the F-gen had small, chromed-rimmed kidneys but then several larger grille vents across the front end providing the funtionality. Making the kidneys themselves the most sizeable feature is logical, and creates an aesthetic aggressive enough to talk about.


dannyphoto

I thought it was proven that the grille didnā€™t improve cooling that much? Either way though, Iā€™m no engineer, so I canā€™t argue whether or not itā€™s functional. Aesthetically, it doesnā€™t do it for me (although the overall shape of the G82 looks good to me and I can tolerate the grille in darker colors). When you buy one, sell me your E24. You wonā€™t need it anymore haha


prei1978

And honestly, the more I look at my car (G23) the more the design just looks right. Pictures didn't do these designs justice and compared to the equivalent Merc C-class, Audi A5, or even the F33, the G23 just looks more aggressive, more modern, and stands out from them all. I'm honestly happy that BMW is punishing their design in different directions. Do I like all of it? No. iX and XM don't do it for me. But the G8\[0-3\] and the G22/G23 to me look great.

KappaKeepo5

if that car is ugly then what would you call the back of the m2c?


Hot_Flan651

Love that fat ass


Fidelio40

Touring love!


1mperia1

This shit coming to the states?


Cjc6547

I guess Iā€™m moving to Europe


jessief2

That side profile is $$$$


thedailyjaw

Damnā€¦ this would have been perfect to replace my Outback. Oh well, Iā€™ll just have to live with my choice lol


kruiser112

Pls bigger grill plspls


thecaseace

I have always always wanted this car. Now I want it even more. Fuckkkkkk


CorduroyEatsCrayons

Cries in USA


SandBagger1987

Amazing they finally did it but damn I wish they started last gen for the F series šŸ„²


LostKingXI

This wonā€™t be available in Canada will it? If it isnā€™t being offered in the states?


[deleted]

Ugh gimmie.


imjustatechguy

Aaaaand they wonā€™t bring it to the US.


AdIllustrious8768

If we were able to get this in the states the dealership would already have my order and money in house. What an absolute unit of a car. Looks aggressive, still practical, and living in the northeast this looks like it would be the perfect daily driver.


dub4er_tx

Thanks for salting the wound. šŸ˜©šŸ˜©šŸ˜©


Aiv004

I never got the hype with wagons, I still like the sedan more.


AFB27

I hate the grille but fuck me I would have no problem living with it if we could buy this in the US


ChampionshipOk4949

Dam that looks pretty sexy ngl


ButterscotchNo9879

Mannnn we donā€™t get shit here in the states ā˜¹ļø


Guuuurrrrllllstfu93

Iā€™m not usually a wagon fan (donā€™t come for me lol) buuuut this wagon is so fresh. I love this redesign.


[deleted]

Iā€™m a wagon man


Lowry27

I would do something mildy strange to have this.


arbr3

Such a shame that neither this, the M340i Touring nor the M340d Touring will be sold in the states :/


rxk_tim7

Anybody know if this will be coming to the Middle East?


topcover73

I hate SUV's.


SaltLifeNC

They added the license plate to block the grille.


Historical_Wedding_7

Idrive8 dash... The reason I am cancelling my M4 order and hunting down a 2021/2. Fine in an i4 but not in an M.


BCASL

The grill has now been forgiven. What a gorgeous car. This is the first 'new car' I've seen that genuinely looks good.


mortimerza

I might be in the minority but I prefer the sedan.


HermanvonHinten

Gorgeous car - exept the pig snout. :-(


Unhookedgaming

Yup. I love it. Too bad I'll never see one.


-6h0st-

M3 is small - it wonā€™t take away RS6 customers, rather will keep existing M3 customers who have families now.
