They couldn't get past the fact that I actually wanted a manual transmission and no leather, and seriously had little real interest in helping me unless I went with their golden child 325i PP, Step, and no sport package. No thanks.

I also like trying new cars to mix it up a bit, and got a great price on the IS250, so I went for it. There are things I don't like about the car, but they aren't enough to make we want to sell it right away.

Anyhow, I seriously doubt they'll bring the 335 touring to the states. Every salesperson I've talked to about it has been adamant that the higher-end 3 series touring wouldn't sell enough to make it a profitable venture. Unfortunately, they're probably right.
I think I understand u a lil better now

Looks like a lowered x3. The rear end styling with spoiler and fin style antenna looks like like it came straight from the X3. They better come out with an M3 wagon...I'll ditch my X3 in a minute

I would take this over a X3 or X5 anyday if I want more cargo space & a bigger rear opening for wider loads . . .

See, why would anyone buy an X3? The 3 series wagon is lower, faster, sportier, bigger cargo space and cheaper to buy. There are some blind people in this world lol.

Anyway, this looks great! A fast wagon without breaking the bank and getting an E55 AMG lol.

You are right about the price on the X3 being more expensive than a 335 wagon. The x3 is a SAV compared to the 3 series wagon. The X3 actually outhandles every 3 series. even out handles the mighty M5 on the skidpad. There is no bodyroll whatsoever in the X3. Amazing for a SAV eh?

Wow I need a wagon for next summer. Badass, I wish they were more reliable. I had a E46 ZHP 330i and the power went out 2 hours after driving it off the lot. Was vice free the rest of the time though.
