There is a market for Wagons, but it needs to be G80 platform, IMO.
That is where the manual transmission will be offered.

This car makes no sense at all. Doesn't even look good. But, to each his own I guess.

Does not make sense to you, but an M-wagon would be
Especially with a 6MT. Does a Golf R makes sense? This is the same concept, but larger......

My personal dream would be to see an M3 or M5 touring be available in USA. For me a touring car gives me utility like an suv but much more driving like a car. Make it an M3/M5 and I am all in.
Again , I'm probably the only person from the states who thinks that (it seems)

I agree, but I hear it all the time, enthusiasts love Wagons, but the last one to offer a manual was the Cadillac CTS and it has held it's value very well, there is a market. BMW cites lack of Sales on the F31 Sports Wagon, but that was not an enthusiast spec.

I would rather see a M series touring than another X3/5 M.

Totally agree, why not offer a Touring? No desire for a sporty SUV, but I would absolutely buy a Touring if 6MT were available.

Audi sell the RS4 and RS6, and MB, the C63 and E63, so why not BMW?
I opted for the C63 S, because it works for my dog and bikes (and has 510 PS).

I saw an F80 converted Wagon driving this Summer it was amazing, and I think about that car all the time, it would be the ideal enthusiast do-it-all car.
