Europe there are a lot of people like station wagon, no matter what model, there’s a station wagon derivative version, even to the luxury brand, has launched Martin or Ferrari or custom wagon.
The reason, in addition to have a closer SUV wagon compared to the car handling well plate board precisely modeling, taking into account the personality and space, coupled with a strong heart is incredible, all of a sudden to meet the various needs.
that the major brands of high-performance sector, are willing to launch a high-performance wagon, the most prestigious is undoubtedly the Volkswagen Audi RS6 and RS6, both of which are low-key appearance and impressive performance, Of course RS6 development today, that this is not a good crop.
but why BMW’s M division are not interested, either RS Audi and Mercedes-Benz AMG divide this market, she has not joined, even BMW M dealer are craving high performance station wagon.
According to the Chairman of the National Forum BMW dealer Patrick Womack, said they hope to launch a high-performance BMW wagon, so that it can compete and Audi.
This also shows from the side of the unique BMW M, M sector in global sales in 2019 was 135,829, an increase of 32.2 percentage compared to 2018, a record high in nearly 50 years, first became Performance / High Performance brand sales champion.
the United States is the largest single market for BMW M, the 2019 sales of 44,442, not to mention that the whole system is under no circumstances wagon (previous generations of M5 a very small amount of travel version), not the Audi Mercedes, C63 and RS4 have a travel version.
and leads BMW wagon enthusiasts only yourself modification, often to the 3 Series Touring Case transplant M3 power, or buy the Alpina B3 Touring, every time there is a 3 Series news, then there M3 launched the travel version of the rumor and rumor from the BMW Group.
In their view, the introduction of version requires a lot of travel costs, additional high-performance wagon market is too small, compared to high-performance SUV more popular on a global scale Welcome, if it wants to install aFar, run fast cars, high-performance SUV is a better choice.
In addition wagon M division that have an impact on handling, it would do well to conventional models M, lest reputation decline.
In fact, BMW also fond of this market, back in 2000, has launched an M3 Touring experimental nature of the concept car, BMW found that from a technical level, do little in the original products based on modify and part of the design, manufacture can travel version.
do not need to spend a lot of money to purchase new equipment, specially opened a production line to get this done, the result of 20 years later, M3 is still no travel version.
perhaps the largest market in the dealer’s appeal, BMW will change his thoughts, to know that there are a lot of the history of classic cars, dealers are recommended to build.
