'"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. certification—a lengthy and costly process."

In other words, BMW USA had already turned down homologating the 3 Series wagon wholesale before the M version was even greenlit. And by the time the company knew an M3 Touring was coming, it was—financially speaking—too late.'

I can deal with the nostrils with the grates removed, love the Blue and Purple, why does the CSL still have floating calipers out back?!?!?

Still never buying another BMW again.
