meh.
only the m-sport does it for me, and even then, i'm not thrilled with the greenhouse. I prefer a shorter greenhouse like the x models or the f20/f21.

Forget the X-Series, I'd take one of these with xDrive up North to the cottage!

Looking forward to a test drive in the fall. I don't really need to replace the e91 but mid-30s mpg would be real nice. I also like how this new car seems to split the size difference between the old car and the 5-series touring. I always felt like the car was just a bit too small to really pull duty as a family car.

I think it's because people who don't like wagons don't usually click or comment on the wagon threads. The F31 isn't my cup of tea, but it looks better than the other wagon options out there

1. Sedan dynamics 2. Loading space for living (kids, sport, travel) 3. Low profile - subtlety is good This is what will replace my x3; hell, if they made an M3 touring, that would be nirvana (rs4 avant only vehicle that would tempt me back over to inglostadt) |

Don't feed the AltimaTroll.
Damn, I was expecting US specs at the reveal. We already knew all this info. Any clue when we'll get word of stateside lineup? |

I'd be very interested to know if they will offer it in full 335i xDrive with the M Sport package in the US. if so, it may just change my decision to get a 5 series. I was planning to put an order in in the next month or two, but may hold off a bit to see what the engine line up of the Touring will be.
Anyone out there have a guess on when they will announce the engine options for a Spring 2013 launch? |
