Why no 335 touring in US?

roozie2001 · 05-31-2009, 06:20 PM

Anyone know the reason why BMW doesnt send the new 335 Wagon to the U.S? Is the market for wagons that bad here??

CollinsE90 · 05-31-2009, 06:21 PM

yea and the whole pupose of a wagon is a family car/grocery getter dont need it to be twin turboed to get to wal-mart

roozie2001 · 05-31-2009, 06:25 PM

Yah but i mean not everything family related has to be lame. I have two big dogs. I own a restaurant and a little space is appreciated. Try going to Costco. Pickin up groceries for 2week and 2 35lbs bags of dog food and fitting it in a 335 sedan. Just wouldnt mind the extra room. Besides how could would it be to run low 12s in a wagon at the track. LoL

CollinsE90 · 05-31-2009, 06:39 PM

ive seen some cool e91's i guess its personal prefference according to what you need it for

ejazbmw · 05-31-2009, 07:29 PM

its mostly because the US doesn't have a strong demand for wagons unlike European countries where you see them all over the place that's why they have the 335 and M5 wagon

MCMLXXXIX · 05-31-2009, 07:31 PM

wasnt the m5 wagon available like 2 years ago??? and then they got rid of it

and yea...lame

VTECaddict · 05-31-2009, 07:34 PM

the US market does not like wagons. nor minivans. SUV's and crossovers are king here.

CollinsE90 · 05-31-2009, 07:52 PM

m5 touring looks badass

The E60 M5 was introduced in 2005. It has a 4,999 cc (305.1 cu in) BMW V10 S85 engine redlining at 8250 rpm, and developing a peak output of 373 kW (507 PS; 500 bhp) with 520 N·m (384 ft·lbf) of torque. Unlike some other BMW engines which utilise Valvetronic to infinitely vary valve lift to eliminate the throttle plate, this engine has individual throttle bodies per cylinder

damn thanks for the info

such a beautiful car

mmm def · 05-31-2009, 08:32 PM

The look on the Mustang GT drivers face as I spanked him hard out of a light in my S4 Avant was priceless.

I'd rock a 335 wagon in a second.

CollinsE90 · 05-31-2009, 08:34 PM

id rock that m5 wagon and race every v8 i seen haha id put on those sunglasses that wrap around my whole head and some leather driving gloves with a wood pipe in my mouth

This is available in the states

Engine: AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine developing 378kW (514 hp) and 630 Nm or torque
Performance: Top speed 155 mph (250km/h) electronically limited
Acceleration: 0 to 62 (0 to 100km) in 4.6 seconds

You yankees should be happy, there is nothing that makes me so sad as to see a 335 e91.. it's like "I have a powerful car but I have to buy the ugly version of it because I'm stuck with a family..."

Wagons are abominations in my opinion...my country is full of them which makes me extra happy to own a coupe and watch all family fathers look at my car with envy thinking "I could've had that if it weren't for my fat ugly bitch forcing me to have kids..."

It's the same scenerio here with minivans and SUVs though. I pull up to SUVs and the guys driving them are always staring at my car as if dreaming they could walk away from their wife in the passenger seat, kids in the back seats, and dog in the tailgate. At least in Europe the wagon is more sensible. SUVS are stupid any way you look at them.
