Mercedes have the E63 wagon it might not be their best seller but at least they have it why can't bmw take any risks pleasing long term buyers?
In an ideal dream world an X3M or any other SUV M variant would cease to exist. But I see them on the roads and if there's the demand for them, they'll build them.

At least I can judge the people who drive them.
Why is that? I own a 1M, have owned an E92 and E46 M3s (all 6MT- if you're counting enthusiast cred) and would much like to add an X3M to my stable.

What would you be judging me for? Not hauling my family around in a RAV4?

Im general, I don't really care what BMW sells, as long as they spend some of the earnings on R&D and create more CAFE headroom for M cars.
