The only *logical* explanation that I can see, is they really do not want to sell wagons in the NA market since it is the only internal direct competition to BMW SAVs... which are made in the states and thus prefer to sell as many of those as they can here, tariff free. Otherwise, it is simply asinine to offer the turbo i6 in the X1/X3 and not the 3er wagon...
