Economical? //M cars are not about economical. You want economical, you can slap a diesel and call it a day. //M cars are about being sportiness, racing, and exclusive line to those that want to differentiate between the "everyday" norm vs. prestige.

you cannot seriously believe that BMW makes ANY car for any other reason than to make money? this is not a one off race car, its a car that will be sold in large volumes across the world. of course its about money. businesses exist for the sole purpose of making money EDIT : I think I see what happened here. he said economical, you thought he meant gas mileage / cost of ownership. I think he means economical as in will the car be profitable to bmw

I think he meant economical in the sense of practicality, not fuel efficiency.

First BMW I ever drove was an e46 xi wagon in northern michigan in the middle of a hellish winter. My ML320 was in the shop for over a month with electrical issues. At the end of the month I was ready to tell them to keep the ML because the wagon was like a sports car with small SUV usefulness. I certainly vote for the wagon!!!

True, but in reality the enthousiasts (bimmerpost members and others) only consist of a smaller percentage of the M buyers. So it's the other world around. Here you'd have 85% that would buy an M GT over a wagon. I would even dare to say most M buyers don't use their car at more than 30% of the powerrange. So why would the M3 GT not make sense then? I see this being a big seller for the 50/60+ crowd in Europe.

My wife is eyeing the new 3-series wagon right now, and I guarantee that if the M3 version were available she'd take it in a heartbeat over that little 4-cyl wheezer.

Basically, look at this way, the F34 would require a lot more engineering work than the F31. |

I agree the N20 is a pearl of an engine. I almost bought a 328i Touring. But once I caressed the throttle attached to an N55, there was no looking back. It's an aural delight, and I love the silky smoothness of an I6.

Something I was thinking of for the near future. My future wife is thinking Mini Countryman S manual. I am thinking something bigger like the wagon. Makes more sense when you have family.
