BMW would not promote the Touring model of its glorious M3 in the US, and that is a disgrace. However issues may change if gross sales of the M5 Touring, set to reach within the US later this yr, present sufficient potential.
Whereas there is not any hope of the current-generation M3 Touring arriving on US shores, the next-generation automotive has a great likelihood of creating it Stateside, supplied folks present sufficient curiosity within the greater M5 wagon.
“[The] present M3 Touring is already in its life cycle, so it will be most unlikely that we deliver it to the US, but when [the] M5 Touring does effectively sufficient, possibly the following technology [of the M3 Touring] may come [to America],” vp of product administration Andreas Meyer instructed CarBuzz.
So there’s hope.
Whereas the M5 Touring is in its third technology, this latest model is the primary to be formally offered by BMW within the US. It comes as a part of a small awakening for demand in efficiency wagons by American consumers, following automobiles just like the Mercedes-AMG E63 wagon, the Audi RS6 Avant, and the Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered.
The M3 Touring could be the primary of its most important rivals to come back to the US. Mercedes-Benz and Audi make longroof variations of their C63 and RS4, respectively, however neither has ever been offered Stateside.
After all, the M3 wagon’s existence within the US relies on whether or not the M5 Touring succeeds. Lovers have long-harped about wanting extra performance-oriented wagons, and now, we’re lastly getting our want. If we wish extra, just like the M3 Touring, we’ll have to really exit and put our cash the place our mouths are.
