The BMW M5 sports sedan and its Touring sibling have been enjoying very high demand all over the world, and the regional split could mean very good things for the future of high-performance Bimmer station wagons. Speaking to BMWBlog, BMW M CEO Frank van Meel said that while the four-door sedan is more popular in Europe, Americans have shown an affinity for the Touring variant instead. Given BMW is using the M5 Touring’s reception as a barometer for the next-generation M3 wagon, we think it’s all but guaranteed to arrive in the U.S. now.
