So purdy. You could probably get a 7-series for the price of that thing though

BMW maybe, I believe they still offer the 3 wagon here.
CLA Shooting Brake, highly doubt it.

The 3 series touring F31 has been in the US for a few years now.

That one in the video is just the LCI version, coming in a few months.

Just don't go crazy with the option, they can be had for a lot cheaper than what you think.

^^^ true BUT no leather, winter package on a car like this is just slumming it. I just built a M Sport 328 wagon and it came to $48,495 no frills. That's a lotta cake for a small little wagon. The 5 is a much better size and should be here in the States IMO

Yeah, the BMW. CLA SB looks awesome but I know that won't come.

340i in wagon guise looks great.

and there is a lot more room for discount on a wagon because they are harder to sell.

leatherette feels and looks cheap, it's bad enough that I can spot it before I get in the loaners BMW gives me.

Because you are comparing your 6 series leather with 3/4 series leatherette.

The leather in 3/4 is not all that. feels and looks different than 5 series+

I think the Volvo has the most exterior personality but I like the interior of the 3-series the most. I'm typically all for an Avant but the Allroad needs some aftermarket help to look decent.
