BMW should offer more options on the wagon - manual, RWD, 335i drivetrain, etc. - and not waste their money on this thing. In Europe you see more wagons than sedans. Even the police cars in Munich are 320d wagons. If you want a SUV, get an X3 or X5. At least they have some carrying capability.
you're right about Europe being popular with wagon BUT then again, that market is quite dead here...cuz wagon is ugly, IMO.

bmw is trying to fill all the needs of everyone which sometimes, i wonder why but for now i don't reaaly care. the X4 is sportier than the X3, yes less space, but not everyday you're carrying aLOAD of stuff. beside, majority who buy it wouldn't be their only car to carry load. in my case, i already have the glk to do so.
