Did not know South Africa followed the lead of North America and removed the Tourings also? Will need to find out why? Is it the SUV effect?
In North America for example you have the 3er Touring being outsold by the X3. A relatively new model against an almost 7 year old SAV.
The upcoming X3 will feature a similar level of finesse as demonstrated by the 5er and 7er models. And will be up-to-date with the latest technology as well as some new features and advancements. Following that in 2018 will be an all new X5 model that will have an even greater sales advantage.
