I don't know why I even read the comments on these main threads anymore, they just piss me off. The touring looks gorgeous, and I would take a 330d home easily. Awesome.

I love this F31 (and the F11 for that matter) and its FINALLY in proportion and not an after thought model. Can't wait to order a 335d, hopefully, or better yet, an M3 F31! Its different enough for me as the "sedan" style is getting way too old. I'll like the term "shooting brake" better.

Traditionally, a shooting brake has two doors and the hatch. Who cares what anyone calls it? Driving dynamics of a 3-series married to the cargo capacity of a small SUV is perfect.

There is nothing wrong with "wagon" or "touring". I think in Europe there is nothing wrong with "touring/wagon" reputation. I think it is actually better than SUV's. I might be biased as I was waiting with one with xDrive and was quite pissed when I found out that there will be no xDrive for F31 until next year. So I almost went with F30 xDrive (because of snow and lack of road maintenance during winter - at least where I live). Then I looked at my bike and wondered where I should put it in sedan and then I tried to picture strapping my windsurfing gear to sedan. I also liked the look of F31 more than F30 (at least on pics). Finally decided to go with F31 MW Luxury Line with some gizmos. I decided to gamble a bit and even ordered Individual leather (Kashmere Beige / Black).

No orders yet for F31 in the U.S. My dealer says November/December time frame to order I don't think they have set all the colors/options for the U.S. yet much less the pricing.
