I think I saw some type of X3 in camo around Munich. I also spotted some variant of a 5 series I believe and a Ghost.

No doubt. When the M5 (and company) are moving to AWD - high performance sedans, mind you, not trucks - you can rest easy knowing that hotted up RWD SUVs are as good as dead. In fact, they were never really a thing were they? RWD SUVs exist for the same reason FWD SUVs exist - to lower the price of entry and save a few CAFE points. Beyond that basic trim level, for a luxury brand, AWD is essentially the price of entry.

Updated March 31, 2017:

It's been several months (since November), but the X3 M has returned to the Nurburgring for further development, spied here in this latest video of the F97. It's a short clip, but still gives a good look and listen.

It looked much smaller than a 5er, but I now see the resemblance

If that were true why has there been M3 and M5 wagons in Europe? You're already producing them, just make it available to whomever wants one stateside. I think BMW would be surprised.
Yup and Merc and Audi sell them quite nicely. There is definitely a market. An I'd say it's got to be cheaper to develop an M tourer than a ground up niche product like the Z series which has a very small market.

I think it's just that the SUV sells well and BMW can't be arsed for the smaller number of people who might then not buy the SUV.
