I think you'd first have to demonstrate that it was not profitable for BMW before the shareholders would listen... good luck with that.

Why would ANYONE buy this over a F31, if that is what you are after??
As I said in the other thread, it really depends where your priorities lay... Tourers are only practical if you need the load lugging space, since the 3GT uses the 3Li platform, it's much more about providing space for your passengers, not their bags. It's a question of priorities. And yes, you could argue the X3 would then be a sensible choice, but not every one wants to be driving around in a 4×4 - things in Europe are smaller (like roads and parking spaces etc.), and there's a lot of people that think driving around a town or a city in a 4×4 is retarded.
