They're square 18" O.Z. Ultraleggeras, I use them for my winter tires.

1000 times this, all I want is a newer wagon and there are almost no options anymore. But there are tons of crossover options, all of which suck.

There's always the Toyota Venza. it's vaguely wagon looking. I'm sure Toyota makes a model with an "S" badge and a gaudy body kit.

Just say it - Venza. the car for people who really DGAF.

I drove a 435i Gran Coupe recently (RWD) and I liked it quite a bit, it's definitely a compromise in space but the 5-door configuration is much more useful than the sedan. Don't like that it's ZF8 only, though that is a fantastic transmission.

Buy asap - Toyota is ending production of the Venza in August (or so.)

You are aware that BMW is not selling a MT in the F31 wagon. At all. And no RWD either.

VW sportwagon looks worth considering.
Where the Hell is the new one based on the Golf chassis?(2015 model)
You can still get a manual and the DSG isn't bad either they are
suppose to be working on a AWD.
There new diesel has a urea tank though but its suppose to get better
mileage.
So far they have not appeared for sale in the US I wonder if they
are having problems .

yeah. maybe the next car won't be a wagon, but it's really convenient when you have 2 kids but don't want a gigantic SUV.

Just want to say that we had our E34 525i - which is the same size that our F30 328d is - all through the kids' teen years and never had a problem going places in it. (We also had a truck and small suv to carry "things".) Although we've been laughing sadly at our son and wife and the "stuff" they carry for their 5-month old - did we carry that much stuff, too?

Wagons are badass! I wish they were more popular in the US.

Gave mine a bath yesterday.

Actually, there are many F31 variants including RWD and MT - but they aren't imported into the US.

Probably a good thing as it keeps me from lusting after a new one to replace my '07 MT E91.

Love my E91 !! I've owned and driven quite a few BMW's (including an E46 M3), but this one takes the biscuit. This is my second 335d M-Sport etc. in space grey with saddle brown interior.

[hassmaschine]

wish we had a 335D here, we'd definitely have one instead of our E90 325xi.

[DaleT]

I was really hoping theyd bring the 1 Series Hatchback to the US..
