I’ve read it’s North America only.
Interesting niche , IF the new M3 with a DCT can only be had in AWD (albeit switchable like M5) , this car is the fastest option for someone wanting a pure RWD saloon who doesn’t want a manual; that’s still assuming there’s going to be this M3 pure , less power but manual.
I’m pretty sure N/America won’t be getting the touring (wagon) at all so niche ends there.

Yes a real shame. Maybe BMW thought there wouldn’t be a market for a RWD version here as the S4 and C43 are AWD.
I’ve watched a few ‘reviews’ on Youtube and it seems ace. Would definitely have one over the Audi and Merc.
My only gripe and I suppose it applies to the G20 in general is the horrid digital dash.

With you on that - and the horrible exhaust "trim" - the lower models look better.I’ve watched a few ‘reviews’ on Youtube and it seems ace. Would definitely have one over the Audi and Merc.

Yep we're only getting the xdrive version the last rear wheel drive is on the current F3X models so i'm going to keep my F31 for a while i think now.
Would like to try the new one when it comes out in estate form to see how it compares but will probably stay put
Estate is on my short list (of 1) to swap my cash for when it comes out later this year - x-drive version is all I was interested in anyway. I had a deposit down for an S4 a few months ago but Audi have well and truly destroyed that dream...Would like to try the new one when it comes out in estate form to see how it compares but will probably stay put
My wife has the m40i engine in her X4 and I'm looking forward to driving something similar with a chunk of lard sliced off.

Yes I had an B8 S4 on my list of things before i bought my 340i but purely finances didn't line up as the Audi was about £200 more a month than the BMW so it was discounted. I just loved the fact you could remap it and get RS4 performance out of it.My wife has the m40i engine in her X4 and I'm looking forward to driving something similar with a chunk of lard sliced off.
The X3 M40i is a weapon and on the list for a replacement for the 340i i think unfortunately i hate the design of the X4 haha

She had a 340i touring before the X4 M40i. A big step up, as will be the X3. Working for BMW means she gets to try out a lot of nice cars with zero risk and swap them when she gets bored!The X3 M40i is a weapon and on the list for a replacement for the 340i i think unfortunately i hate the design of the X4 haha

Wonder when BMW will release pricing?
My m140i lease comes to an end in September, hope there will be enough time to order before then.
Sometime in July I have heard..My m140i lease comes to an end in September, hope there will be enough time to order before then.
I got a copy of the German price list translated and the M340i was coming in at around 12k Euros more than a 330i
