at least just allow us who want a wagon to do ED for it and bring back to the states a nice M340i wagon. |
Honestly I believe BMW shot themselves in the foot by not offering the 6 cylinder turbo in the wagons. I would have bought one a long time ago had they offered it. And ultimately with the announcement that G2X wagons won't be coming to the U.S. I bit the bullet and bought one anyway. I'd probably be in my 3rd or 4th wagon now had they offered the N55. The U.S. market demands the more powerful engines be at least an option if you want to move more units. I know at least a half dozen other people that would have been loyal repeat wagon buyers if they just could've gotten the 6 cylinder.
