Launching in June. xDrive should come from Fall and there will be a 30d option without a doubt. Remember the F30 just started in February so it is not marketing issue, it is supply chain and the E91 is still being built they stagger sedan, wagon, coupe, convertible.

AS an aside- why on earth do you need xDrive in the UK? Am I missing something- considering the country as a whole sees very limited white stuff.
The 30d may no longer be a straight 6 N57 though.
I bet it becomes an N47 4 pot. It may have more power as a jumped up 4 banger but it would be so sad to lose that sound and feel. The N57 has been named best production diesel in the world countless times, and it's not difficult to see why!
