so join the 21st century and appreciate the elegant lines and superior styling of the E91 range.

ummm.... BMW themselves call the car a Sport WAGON. Don't get me wrong. I love them, and i own one myself, but i'm not gonna deny that it's a wagon. Some might even call it a Touring Wagon. Still a wagon...

In Belgium they called an E91: 'Touring'.

Here they like tourings more than sedans.

In Canada we also call them Touring, not Wagon!

I actualy think the only place on the planet that they call the E91's Waggons is in the USA but I suppose you cant blame them as they just don't know any better! Do they sill have horseless carriges as well?

[plokij]

they're the same shape. horses in the front, covered wagon in the back. the most OG of transportation vehicles - station wagons

[Pascal]

Eventhough my previous car was a Peugeot model 206SW, nobody where I live call them "WAGON".
Of course, in French speaking countries (as in Belgium or Switzerland), we don't speak native English this is why people have named them "BREAK"
This might sound funny to you but that is true

I cant believe you drive a "Touring" and still insist on refering to it as a waggon. the only reason BMW US call it a waggon is because they don't and think you will not understand the Touring concept "it's a load carrier so it must be a waggon coz that's what carries loads" WTF

Dictionary definition:

A wagon ('waggon' in British and Commonwealth English) is a heavy four-wheeled vehicle pulled by draught animals; it was formerly often called a wain, and if low and sideless may be called a dray, trolley or float.

Wagons are pulled by animals such as horses, mules or oxen, and are used for transporting goods, agricultural materials or sometimes people. Wagons are distinguished from carts, which have two wheels, and from lighter four-wheeled vehicles for carrying people, such as carriages. A wagon may be pulled by one animal or by several, often in pairs

Is this what you drive? Thought not,

Almost right, a Shooting break is an english expression used normally by the gentry to decribe any four door vehicle with a top hinged rear hatch /door with a flat entry suitable for sitting in keeping out of the rain and wind whilst waiting for the beaters to flush out the Game, pheasants, Partridges etc, nothing to do with any garlic eating surrender monkeys. (NO offence intended) and they do not speak french in Switzerland, a small region speaks broken french, a mixture of german /French predominant language is Swiss german, I know this because I live here.

Issued from that same dictionnary you quoted:
A station wagon (also known as an estate or estate car) is a body style variant of a sedan/saloon with its roof extended rearward over a shared passenger/cargo volume with access at the back via a third or fifth door (the liftgate or tailgate), instead of a trunk lid. The body style transforms a standard three-box design into a two-box design — to include an A, B & C-pillar, as well as a D pillar. Station wagons feature flexibility to allow configurations that either favor passenger or cargo volume, e.g., fold-down rear seats.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines a station wagon as "an automobile with one or more rows of folding or removable seats behind the driver and no luggage compartment but an area behind the seats into which suitcases, parcels, etc., can be loaded through a tailgate." The dictionary also calls the term an "Americanism."

Concerning the languages spoken in your country, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suisse_Romande
It says 20% native speakers for french
Even "garlic eating surrender monkeys" can teach you

Alright.. here's my new-to-me-wagon-touring-e91.

His name is Wainwright. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the dealer who drilled the hole in his nose. I have another month before I begin driving it. I may just continue to wax it repeatedly (that's what she said) or do a little something to the exhaust. Tint will happen in Oct, and more stuff when the snow is gone come spring.

I have 18" snows to go on. It came with 17" staggered Style 161 with RFTs. These style 189's will be used until the snow, then we'll see what happens in the spring. Likely moar low and 19's.
