Help - info about 3 series wagon with 6 cylinder

Sorry to start a new thread about this. I've searched like crazy and already talked to a local dealer and I cannot find a reliable answer to my question. I usually haunt the M2 forum because I own an M2, but I also have a 2008 328xi wagon and I want to replace it, trade up to a newer 3 series wagon but it must have the 6 cylinder engine. Oddly enough I can't find out what is the most recent year a 3 series wagon was made with the 6 cylinder. I know that the 2012 model year did, but what about more recent model years. I had hoped I could find a one or two or at most three year old wagon with 6 cylinder engine, but they all now seem to come only with the turbo 4. Please don't try to talk me into that turbo 4. I want the 6 cylinder. If I have to, I'll look for a 2012 model year to get it.
Any info much appreciated.

Are you back from a long trip in Africa? Since the 3 wagon arrived in North America back in 2014 they have been 4 cyl only. Euro market both have gas and diesel version of the 6cyl engine but nothing in here. Since the F31 is almost at the end of it's life cycle it won't change.

No need to insult. The wagon obviously didn't arrive in NA in 2014. I have a 2008 3 series wagon with 6 cylinder and found a 2012 wagon with 6 cylinder for sale. Even my local dealer was unsure whether a newer model year of any 3 series wagon was available with 6 cylinder.
Is it just 3 series forum members from Montreal that are this rude?

I am pretty in North America, we only get the smaller engine wagons, therefore we only get turbo 4cyl engines for F series.

You would need to look for a E series wagon if you want 6 cyl.

All F31 in NA are 4 cylinders. Your best bet will be to get another E91.

Yes, F31 is x-drive and 4 cyl only.

E91 come in 6 cyl, rwd, even manual, but finding a decent 6 cyl M sport is very difficult unless you want to fork over crazy mark-up to enthusiast auto - that place really does a rape job on the enthusiast.

I know about the E91 and there was the E46 wagon before it and even the E34 wagon which was the first BMW Wagon to come in United States. But the F31 never came before 2014 in North America. It just feel strange to me that somebody active on Bimmerpost forum was unaware of this kind of detail. Since the F30 is there 6cyl have been reserved to the top specs models for which we don't have the corresponding wagon. If you are looking for a 6cyl wagon there is the Mercedes E-Wagon and the Jaguar XF Wagon that could do the job for you. P.S. Be ready this forum is rude!
