Wow. This release proves that the reason I can't get a 3 wagon w/6MT is NOT because "it costs BMW a lot of money to US certify a power train". It's because they just don't want to. If they have money to make a whole new line with unknown sales figures, then I should be able to get a RWD 6MT touring that already exists in Europe.
BMWAG: kill the 3 sedan and just do this 4 GC. Much better looking but save the money for a high end super car beyond the i8, a new Z8!
