Has it been determined the N55 won't be available on the F31 in the US? I guess if you follow history, it won't be, but I'm remaining hopeful. I'd be interested in knowing how much more it costs BMW to make both engines available? Presumably it's not as simple as dropping a wagon body on either a 328 or 335 sedan chassis, but I'm clearly no automotive engineer.
