Too expensive. Just give us a G20 or G30 Touring with the B58 inline 6-cylinder and choice of xDrive/RWD and ZF auto/6-speed manual. The purists will be silenced and BMW might actually see some good profits with wagons starting to become trendy again.

New CNBC article says wagons made up 1.4% of U.S. sales. Of that 1.4%, 1.2 was purely the Subaru Outback, meaning every other wagon only made up .2% of sales

Lol hell no. It is badged as Holden Commodore here and in the previous generation we could get such great options as the Maloo GTS, R8 Sportwagon and so on, basically your Pontiac G8 or Chevy SS but with different body styles.
Now it is a pile of crap FWD based generic car. Which I absolutely do not want. Fortunately in NZ we can get the full range of wagons from all of the germans, there are even some E61 M5s around here! I just want a new generation M wagon.

The solution is Alpina, those cars are even coming out of BMW assembly lines and with this symbiosis in place it may be that BMW are not putting out an answer to the RS6 and 63s wagons themselves. I nurture a hope that at least an M550i Touring would come out, there was even a video out on Youtube from testing rounds on the Ring where I could spot one. I switch between driving 5-series Tourings and X5:s, with the wagons you have a lot of the benefits of an SUV without the truck-like clumsiness coming from the SUV format. For Autobahn driving at 200+ km/h I take a wagon any day. That being said, in Feb I switch from 540i Touring to X5 M50i...
