BMW has never gotten the wagon formula right in the USA, IMO. People who want a wagon want car dynamics with SUV practicality. BMW always gives us the lowest performance variant of the day-- 323 and 325 only in e46, 328 only in e9x, and 4 cylinder automatic only in f3x.
People who care about dynamics don't want the slower version. Give us the bigger engines!
Not that I'd buy a modern BMW either way, but I have now owned 3 BMW wagons and plan to import and e61 M5 wagon when they hit the 25 year old importable mark.
