Agree, I would avoid those wheels.

Not that crazy about te wagon. That 320i would be a great choice for first time BMW buyers. Lure all of them into BMWs
I see a lot of 3 series and 5 series around Boston. |

I've never understood the "you must not have had the money" argument when dealing with cars of vastly different size or focus. A 5er is a different car than a 3er and I doubt many folks seriously cross shop them, but I have certainly been wrong before. The X1 is really just an awd E91 with a slightly higher suspension, it's nothing like the X3, which feels and drives much more like an SUV than a sedan/wagon. |

Exactly right. Standard xDrive is the only reason I'm not talking to my dealer about late summer ED right now.

Wagon options
Drivetrain and price issues aside, the wagon looks pretty good. It's never been an enthusiast car per se, but fits into the family-hauler role well and can serve double duty hitting a back road every now and then. On that basis the x-drive makes sense, although it's too bad they don't also offer RWD.
Looking at these photos, I'm curious if you can do a custom order with the sport wheel and paddles as shown, but not limit yourself to the sportline (or whatever it's called) interior choices? Anyone know from f30 ordering if that's possible? As far as the 335 vs 328 argument, for the money the 328 is a solid choice, given it's only a second off pace against a 335 up to 60. Now, if you're buying for how it sounds, it's a no brainer... |

I owned an E46 wagon for 8 years -- fantastic car. When BMW first introduced the E46 wagon, they brought in the Xdrive model first and the RWD model followed about a year later. I wonder if we'll see the same approach with the F31?

Same happened with E91. I really hope this repeats with F31 too.

Notice sports seats in the wagon without Sports or Msport line. If that is a US spec car, thats crazy that you can get that in the wagon but not the sedan. I would love sports seats in some of the other colors available on other lines.

They should've given us a 335i wagon instead of that awful 335i GT.
