I had a look at the F31 the other day as the thought of 50mpg in the 320d M-Sport appeals, but the boot makes it a complete no go go for me, far too small as we have a big dog and a 4 year old who wants to take his bike etc. with him when we go out.

I'm in this...


Which is the closet thing to buying a van without buying a van!
I should get an L200 Mitsubishi or something really, but I just can't do it.

The 5 series touring was the same, really useless boot, couldn't even get one golf set in there on a caddy without coming over the back seat, I can get three in the Merc with the load cover still working fine.

My old man swapped his F11 for a 530d GT, actually much more usuable load space in the rear.

These are sports tourers, great if you have a dog, or a kid, but hardly a massive family wagon.
But then they are small and nimble, and my e91 handled better than the e90, probably better weight balance?

Just don't buy them expecting massive load space.

Anyone have a link to the Press Conference video?

BMWNA you're killing me on this. Ok I'd love the diesel or 335, but AT LEAST 6MT!!
6MT = acknowleging & supporting the loyal BMW brand enthusiasts.

I'm from Spain. Here, 6MT is standard and you have to pay over $3.000 for the 8AT. I think I has to deal with totally different markets.
