Figured BMW would drop the modern line. I haven't seen one in the GTA since the F30 was launched. I'm still not totally on board with these lines, would prefer to option a base model up, but glad that BMW made an adjustment.

So the GT is only available as an xi, and no option for a stick shift? Wasn't really considering one, but figured if I can't get a wagon without xi and with a stick, the GT might be worth a look.

Forgive me for the noob question, but I keep seeing "MY" everywhere. What does this mean?

Looking at this it doesn't seem there's any indication of a 328d RWD option. Are those model/drive train changes announced separately, or do people anticipate that we simply won't get a RWD option on the wagon in the US?

Personally, the best pic of the bunch (for me) is the 328d xdrive estate. Make mine an Msport in black sapphire!

I'm in Boston. I was seriously considering F31 as my next car until I learned that it would be AWD only.

Just picked up my 335 sport line in Munich as part of ED. The ASS reverts to the last setting used when re-starting. It's nice not to have to manually shut it off every time. The car is fantastic and I'm coming from an E90.
