F31 is in the testing stages right now, there have been spy photos of camo versions. What markets it will hit is unsure... NA has traditionally been less receptive of wagons and more for SUV's.

I'd have bought a wagon instead of the X3 if I could've gotten a 335i or 335xi.

Same here. I love the E91's but the fact that there was no N54 or 55 option turned me away.

The F30's are too small. If we could get the decent wagons that would be another story, but it seems like BMW wants us to buy them from Audi instead.

Got to admit, if the CTS-V falls in my price range I would be sorely tempted.

I bought a X3 because I needed a 4x4 for winter and the roads and rough round me. If I moved back to the town then I'd think about it

Sure, I'm probably just in love with the new.

I'd want one with xdrive and I'd be in breach of my behavior contract with my wife, but aside from that, I kind of want one. Anyone else?
I am looking at the Xdrive 335D M Sport if /when it arrives.

after almost 4 years in a 328xi, i much prefer my X3 35i. just like sitting a bit higher, little more space, and the overall design. not intersted in switching back to a 3series whether it be e90/91 or f30/31. hit 5000 miles today on the X3.

Driving the F30 right now... Love how controlled it is for ride over bumps and how well it handles. Hands down the best driving 3 series ever. If I would of tried this, I would of sprung for the F30... But... I hated the low driving seat position. Hard to go back to being so low. Still love the interior of my F25 over the F30... for some reason I don't know why. Maybe Im used to the layout, but it seemed like the F25 has a more ergonomic layout. ie. being able to heat both seats with one hand, or layout of the buttons. I do love the hidden cup holder approach though.

Both are very close... I should just buy the F30 so that I can choose between the both depending on the day lol.
