Here's Why the BMW M3 Touring Isn't Coming to America - The Drive

As these hot wagons go, the new M3 Touring has a long roof, hatch-style rear opening, same 503-horsepower straight-six that powers the regular M3 and M4 Competition, same grille, and, of course, no chance in America.

"The decision to move forward with the M3 Touring (G81) was made late in the development of the [non-M G21] 3 Series Touring," a BMW USA spokesperson told The Drive.

"By the time the decision was made to move ahead with the [M3 Touring], it had already long been decided that the [regular 3 Series wagon] would not come to the U.S., and therefore there had been no development work towards U.S.

And by the time the company knew an M3 Touring was coming, it was—financially speaking—too late.

In any case, BMW says the slightly heavier M3 Touring gets from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds, one-tenth slower than the sedan.
