The F31 3-series touring/wagon has been spotted in testing again, this time in a new color - liquid blue. Liquid blue recently showed up as new BMW color for the
2012 3-series E92 coupe and
2012 1-series F20 hatchback and this is the first ever look at the new light blue paint color.
No official word yet on whether the F31 touring/wagon will be available in North America, but in a
recent interview with Automotive News, the now retired BMWNA CEO Jim O'Donnell says he wishes the company hadn't stopped selling the F11 5 series wagon in the United States last year because the company thought a lot its 5-series station wagon customers would go with the GT. The report went on to say that the next gen F31 3-series wagon will still be available in NA. O'Donnell said: "We are not giving up the 3-series wagon because if you give it up, they will go straight to the competition." Unfortunately, O'Donnell recently retired, so it's unknown if this prediction still holds.
