No wagon, at least not here in the states...we don't even get the 335 touring here in the states.
I'm still not sold on the looks of the new M3 but I think the 4 door actually looks better. If you could get a 4 door without the stupid I drive, I might even consider that car.

The brief run of E36 M3 sedans is still highly coveted and many including myself would have preferred an E46 M3 sedan even though the E46 coupe is a much better looking car. I'm perfectly happy with my 335 sedan and no longer have an interest for a E90 M3 but a 4 door is much more practical for many without having to 'sacrifice' with a non-M car.

Coupes are useless to me, if it has 2 doors it better have 2 seats. I say this after owning a coupe for years, and being single. Even on the very rare occasions when I have people in the back, it is such a PITA to get them in and out.
Plus I happen the thing the E92 is a dud in the looks department. Something in the middle of the car towards the rear wheel wells looks dumpy to me.

^ Yup. But, if you're getting 4 doors and 4 seats, why not get the added functionality of a wagon (and drive something a bit different in the process)? I also think, generally, the wagon is the best looking body style of a given model range: current A4 and A6, E class, 5 series, V70, etc.

That's a shame. I'd much rather drive an M3 estate than an X3 or X5 but I guess I must be in the minority because I recently read that even Mercedes has changed their plans and won't be offering a C class wagon in the states. Americans prefer SUV's.
