Based on looks: Sedan, GT, Wagon
Based on utility: Wagon, GT, Sedan

first and foremost, I'm a coupe person more than a 4-door person. If I'm not buying a coupe, the buying decision for me comes down to fitness for the uses I have for the car, flexibility and overall utility and ease of use, in that order.

So in the end, of the three cars in this thread, the one I could get the best deal on is the one of these three I'd buy, but that good deal would have to be significant enough to move me off of the 4 series and off the X1, (and to a lesser extent the 6er coupe -- the real coupe, not the GC), which are the two of BMW's reasonably priced offerings I'm considering right now as my next purchase.
