WHY?

(personally, my family has an X5e because it's the only suitable cargo area in a BMW plug in 40 mile range hybrid because Americans won't buy a M package 540e touring and as such BMW won't bring it. dammit)

I think a 540 touring would do well. I’m in a smaller market and I see a decent number of E series wagons, even though they have to be ordered and dealers don’t just get them in inventory. I wouldn’t trade my M550 for one, but if I went back to a 540 then I’d pick a wagon if available.
Edit to add - I don’t think they keep them out of the US because we won’t buy them. They could even do what Benz does and offer it as available to order. I think they don’t want to cut into their own X vehicle sales.
