It's a bummer that you need to go with the Luxury line to get that sweet Saddle Brown interior. I don't get why BMW pushes Camry Beige as the major interior color.

Oh well, if they offer the right M-Sport F31 in the States, I'll put my order in with black interior..

Look at that stance! Perfect! I can't wait! 2013 is too far away!

Well I hope so, but the N20 is coming first and that's exactly how I'm ordering it. Estoril blue, M Sport, 6MT.

Still a great setup. I love that motor. I am very impressed with it, and I'm sure as time goes on, there will be some good aftermarket tuning options.

I thought I'd hold on to my E91 M Sport for a while but a F31 M Sport would tempt me to trade

Please give US buyers the option of a 335i wagon this time!

I agree. I think the f31 looks a lot better. The odd front matches the f31.

The more I look at it the more I realize how fantastic this looks. I would seriously love to get one of these to replace the aging Honda oddyssey I have in my family

Why does the sport line look slammed.

I'm sure it's not like that stationary. Those pics were probably taken mid turn with plenty of body roll.

should just come that low :-)

[Alpine F31]

Love. I love it. Hurry up BMW, get it here. I don't want to put one more penny into my old Subaru wagon It's slow, gets bad gas mileage and is finally starting to fall apart (it's a 2000). It's been great, but it's time to move on..."it's not you baby, it's me!"

I think this thing might look better than the Audi B8 A4 Avant, and that is hard to do

Can't wait!!

I did find this interesting:


The engine line-up from its sedan sibling will be carried over to the wagon variant. This will include a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol with outputs of 184 PS (135 kW / 181 bhp) and 245 PS (180 kW / 241 bhp) as well as a 3.0-liter inline-six with 320 PS (235 kW / 315 bhp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.

I realize this article was intended for Euro customers but I wonder if this is a hint the N55 will get a tiny bump in power in the F31s.

New Photos:

Are we possibly looking at the first indication of a 328i xDrive with manual transmission? When we previously interviewed BMW on which F30/F31 xDrive models would receive a manual transmission, all we were told was that there would be at least one xDrive model with manual transmission. So, *if* this particular F31 is a 328i xDrive model (the front suspension appears to sit a bit higher?), then it would appear that the 328i may be one of the xDrive models to receive a manual transmission option.

Please please please please please bring a diesel F31 with a manual gearbox to NA. Please please please please.

[MoeM3Power]

Beautiful front look and can't wait for coupe!

[smallseafishie]

I'd like a 328i F31. Now if they'd only bring the 320d engine over to match it...

[wdeerfield]

i find it funny they put the swirl graphic over the emblems but not the kidneys.. we all know its a bimmer with the kidneys and lights. and do the details of the trunk hatch matter that much now?
