Is it free? Presents are free, yes? LOL get out of here trying to charge me $180k for a present.
But since I can’t afford it anyway, I’ll say: I’m not buying it because it’s automatic. Lol |

It’s an absolute tank! Seriously you guys are excited for this?
Well I like the front end, the G8x should also get these kidneys it would help that car no end. I’m not an Audi guy but the RS6 looks sleek and aggressive as hell. This just looks a bit… funeral? |

I’m not sure why we’re acting like the rear bumper is a mystery. The sedan rear bumper was leaked months ago, and the touring will likely be a carbon copy. Between the leaked photos, patent photos (non m) and renders, we pretty much know what the entire rear end, including new taillights, will look like. |

Simple, much higher price point for more 💰💰profit for BMW NA and BMW USA Centers. Dealership AVP will be over $8,500 per unit sold in the USA. Wouldn’t be surprised if the M5 touring approach’s XM price wise.

But I'm making this all up and could be wrong. Sure the M3 is cheaper but I don't think the difference between spending $110k vs $140-150k on a car is really going to attract a widely different number of buyers.

The decision not to bring the M3 to the US was made years ago. It's likely the backlash from the M3 drove the decision to bring the M5 which was made much later. There was never any overlap in product planning.

I’ve said it on here before and still haven’t changed my mind based on what I’m seeing, but I’ll save judgment until fully revealed. At this point though, I think the RS6 Avant is the better looking vehicle.

Agree! Finally a M5 Touring in BMWs line up again.
I wasn‘t sooo excited on the first release images of G60, but the more I see it in person … its‘s growing on me a lot! (just today in Brooklyn Grey) Are any new paints coming for M5 launch? |

I am starting to think that the reason for us not getting M3 wagon but M5 is that there will be so expensive that it will make sense for BMW to bring just M5 wagon and no regular 5series wagon. They might actually have enough profit there and it will not bite into x5 market. With love for SUVs here we will be getting every possible X and no wagons. Regretfully. I despise SUVs with really only few exceptions.

they will be discounted heavily German companies did not bring these cars here because they are not popular . They love them in Europe because they are more practical in regions with limited garage space. We don't have this problem here, this thread reminds me of the hype over the RS6 , everyone and their mother wanted one a small dealer in my area has 4 of them sitting around that they can't move with heavy discount without the Covid era , RS6 would have never sold well |

What would be the point of pricing this 40k over the RS6? And, similar to its top of the line vehicle ?

Because BMW M thinks they can and are defiant. Just slap M badges on and jack up the price. Also, need to asorb the homologation cost for the US market, as only the M5 touring is coming stateside. M3 would have cost too much for homologation, thus the higher priced M5 touring. BMW AG can shift S68 engines from the XM to G99 and sell close to the same price point. The XM was R&D for the G90, G99, future M8 gran coupe, G65 M/G66 M.

Appreciate the Xmas camo hides the lines somewhat, but am I the only one that’s disappointed in the lack of swollen arches? I thought they’d have gone further, given the love the arches generate on both the RS6 and M3T.
