You speak as if self-imposed limitations on engine and drivetrain are not a factor. It is. When I bought my 2011 E91, I was put off by the fact I couldn't get it in 335i flavor... but at least I could get it RWD with a NA i6 that BMWs have always been known for. If I was ready to buy and faced with the options I have today, I would NOT opt for the wagon being limited to a 4 banger with performance further hindered by xDrive. No thanks... I want a SPORTY wagon!!!
OH, and let's not bring the F11 over b/c the E61 failed to sell... ignoring the fact the E61 was BUTT UGLY and the F11 was a beautiful redesign. I would certainly be driving one now if I had the chance!
It's great that we were given an additional engine option with the F31, but I am insulted that BMW thinks the only people who are interested in wagons would be satisfied with futzing around town behind a 4-pot diesel...
