When BMW secretly built an M3 Touring back in the 2000s during the E46 era, it decided to stick to a single prototype and keep it all to itself. It wasn’t until the G81 launched two decades later that you could buy a long-roof M3. However, not everywhere. To the dismay of performance wagon fans, the best-selling luxury automaker denied Americans the opportunity to buy the excellent all-rounder.
But that may change in the coming years. BMW is making another generation of the 3 Series Touring, and reports are intensifying about a full-fat M variant. New reports emerged over the weekend from BMWBLOG and the Bimmer Post forums about the G88 and how it will allegedly join the lineup in late 2028 or early 2029, sitting alongside the next M3 sedan (G84). And yes, it’s increasingly likely that the higher-ups in Munich have approved the fast wagon’s U.S. visa.
