    The first diesel cars available here in the US were slow and stinky. Now they are fast and expensive. I guess we missed the middle ground lol.

      If this is the ZF 8-speed then it is still a great transmission. Especially considering that these didn't come with a manual option.

      @@xFactoryUSA What is a "true driver"? What's the purity test? Top speed isn't everything, sometimes you want the engagement of rowing your own gears. I don't care if the automatic may be three tenths of a second around a track, I'd rather have a manual.

      @@bwofficial1776 I’m talking about getting smoked off the line, and particularly if your city has extremely wide streets with 55mph on suburb side streets. But then again if you have access to windy roads then that’s another sub set of needs. Daily to work, maybe not so much rowing everyday

      These wagons are like unicorns in the state...hell the other day I saw a late model JAGUAR wagon and was totally shocked, I didn't even know they made one! These Bimmers are super rare as well, especially with a DIESEL, as Americans gave up wagons decades ago because they were seen as "un cool" and diesels never caught on in passenger cars after GM's horrible and unreliable early 80's V8 diesel that was used in sedans (saloons) and wagons (estates)

    I own this exact car and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. 2014 328d Wagon with the Luxury package (20 spoke wheels, rear windows sunshade, heated rear seats etc). “Dad strength” hits the nail on the head lol. With only 180hp and 280 ft-lbs you wouldn’t think the thing would move, but it easily can get to 60 in 7 seconds and it cruises like a car that was made to tackle the Autobahn. They’re also bulletproof. I know people want the N57 I-6, but trust me. The N47 is a better motor. You can also make about 250hp and 400ft-lb with a simple computer tune. I just did a quick autotempest search. There are about 47 328d up for sale right now, only 9 of which are wagons. Get them while you can folks!

    Zack, You may be too young to remember the halcyon days before DIESELGATE when grown men would have a tear in their eye dreaming about those unobtainable, 'clean', European Diesels which could miraculously achieve 50 mpg and 150 mph. Too bad the 'nerds' at West Virginia University left the lab, took some Diesels on a road trip and busted the biggest automotive myth of the early 21st century. For the record, the best station wagon ever is the 1968-1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser with a Rocket V8 and TH 400 transmission with honorable mentions going to the Mercury Colony Park, Volvo 245 as well as most RWD Toyota wagons with inline 6s bolted to manual gearboxes. With an open mind, I am willing to entertain the possibility the upcoming Crown Signia may some day enter the pantheon of wonderful wagons.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

    I live in Amsterdam and have a G21 330i touring and absolutely love it. I Wouldn’t mind the 340d that is sold here in Europe (inline 6 diesel) but diesels are losing popularity here in Europe.
    Wish BMW wagons were still sold in North America! I guess there’s hope for the 5 series

    I have the straight 6 version of this car here in Germany.
    I can cruise on the Autobahn at 120 mph and it’s still kinda fuel efficient compared to a gasoline 340i. Gasoline is way more expensive than Diesel here so a lot of people like the straight 6 Diesels here.

    It's a shame BMW's wagons never caught on in the US. Wagons are practical and drive nice. It's also a shame BMWs aren't known for reliability, besides the iDrive this one's suspension looks like it needs to be fixed. Diesel cars could be good if diesel wasn't $1 more per gallon and didn't require DPF, taking away all the fuel economy savings.
