On another note, I'm so confused. Why are there still GT cars and why is it in the 6-series column? I guess they have to put the bastard stepchild somewhere but it just seems odd.
Actually the G32 GT is a pretty good car and would argue the best GT rendition of them all. Fantastic rear seat legroom and cavernous trunk.

But didn't find a steady audience with US buyers hence BMWUSA stopped importing it for MY2020. Still widely available in overseas markets though.
I can see some of its redeemable qualities but it's so... Cavernous.
I get it's an acquired taste.

Still would pick the sedan or touring over it.
That touring is quite nice. Would love to see the US market adapt
BMWUSA wants to push out and sell every US made X series truck. They have no incentive to import expensive German made tourings. And quite frankly the market for them is very tiny to justify the costs. And if they do bring one, they package it terribly and price it in between a X3 and X5. Looking at you F31 3 series wagon
