That's absolutely it. If you asked most people, would they rather have a 3 series Touring or an X3 for about the same price?

Besides, even at their peak when they were building E46 and E39 Tourings, how many do you actually see on the road? I almost never see them.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Tourings, and this G31 530d would be my ultimate DD. What a shame we don't get it, it's even better than the G30.
