BMW M Boss says more than M Wagons

BMW has made incredible M-wagons in the past. Wagons E34 and E61 M5 immediately come to mind. Even the concept of wagon E46 M3 was great, but unfortunately it never reached production. We, the nerds, always pray for the abandonment of a new M car, but it does not seem to be happening at the moment.

In general, BMW M cars were manufactured and sold in small numbers. These were cars aimed directly at enthusiasts, and we all know that even though enthusiasts make a lot of noise, our buying power is relatively small. BMW M boss Markus Flasch recently told Car Magazine of the likelihood that cars would be included in Sporteiler's future portfolio. Like, nonexistent.

"Tourism areas are not part of our M plan," said Flasch. He continued:

"If I asked customers in Austria, Switzerland or Germany to understand, we are a global company and we have so many problems with the powertrain that we do not go into products like this. . That's what SUVs are for.

That's what SUVs are for.

That's what SUVs are for.

That's what SUVs are for.

That's what SUVs are for.

You just heard that? This crack that resonated like a shot through the mountains, scattering the birds? It was the sound of my heart that split in two. More cars, because that's what SUVs are for.

SUVs like the X6 M, X5 M, X4 M and so on. I have no doubt that these cars have all the appropriate trim M that makes them legitimate, but they are huge. And non-wagonish. And often very ugly. But they have a big appeal because a big car is what everyone wants now, then, money.

They will never be my M-wagon.

If you were waiting for a new M3 M5 wagon or even a M2 firing brake (well, that one was a long shot), you can forget it. Sorry. The boss said.
