What I do think is going to happen is it'll be single trim, AWD 8AT with minimal options.

Also you can get it in any colour your want as long as you pay. BMW Individual will satisfy that. Just prepared to shell out 100k+ for this car.
I wasn't really considering certification with my comment, but Audi at least offers an A6 allroad in Canada. BMW on the other hand doesn't think there is even a market in NA for the regular 3 series touring - it's going to be a long shot for them to bring the M3 touring over given the history of their touring sale numbers. I'm not sure how the RS6 Avants are selling but unless BMW sees an upward trend in the competitor's sale numbers, then maybe there would be a better chance of it landing here. Hopefully the market research and surveys they're doing in NA yield pro-touring results though
