Until recently I would have agreed and signed the petition. But now that the new M3 will have the bugs bunny grill, I can't sign the petition in good faith since I wouldn't buy the new M3 touring unless it lost the grill.

Bravo on the petition. But I'd want BMW to bring over the plug in G21 first, so I have something to buy.
Otherwise, I'm probably going Tesla or Polestar2.

Lease is up in May. Probably not getting another BMW (this is my 3rd).

The problem is that I don't think it is fair to sign a petition asking for BMW to import a vehicle that I wouldn't buy. That would be wrong. So, unfortunately, the grill is relevant to the request.

A wagon is already a very tough sell. A RWD only wagon is a death nail before it even starts. When Caddy did their 2nd gen CTS V that had the wagon variant, they managed to sell 1700 of them in 4 years. They sold roughly 8000 sedans and 8000 coupes in the same time frame.

First, all BMW needs to do is read this thread and notice the numerous people (stupidly) openly admitting they wouldn't buy an M3 wagon but voted that they would anyway. This behavior COMPLETELY reinforces the correct analysis that people are simply talking out their ass. Many couldn't even afford such a vehicle, but profess that availability is the only obstacle. When push comes to shove, only a crazy-rare few are really going to put their $80k+ into a wagon... even if it does have a M on the liftgate.
I asked this before, but will again... Has anyone else noticed how rare (like never) it is to hear of someone buying a CPO Porsche Sport Turismo? I literally can't recall ever hearing someone even mention they're considering one! Also, look around and you'll notice how unbelievably rare it is to actually see a Sport Turismo on the street. I think I've seen 3 ever... and I drive 30k miles a year throughout the entire northeast. BMW has surely done the market research and concluded (correctly imho) that wagons don't sell unless they're marketed as a SUV alternative like an AllRoad.

Yeah same here. In another thread I specifically committed to buying the car if it didn’t have the dumb grill. Since it does, I can’t see myself purchasing it. Would love for the touring to come to the US, but can’t sign the petition for something I now have zero intent on purchasing. Now if the LCI fixes the front end, I’ll be back in business. Regardless, good luck to those who are still in the game!

The issue is that BMW does not have a big enough market for this car here in NA. Although some of us would absolutely love it, the majority of M car owners would not. And I think with BMW in financial hardship (allegedly) after COVID, there is a 0% chance of it coming to the states.
