BMW 335i wagon won’t be coming Stateside
While BMW’s 335i Touring has been spotted testing in the California Desert, don’t expect to see the 300-hp five-door in showrooms anytime soon. BMW has again confirmed that the 328i Sports Wagon, with its 230-hp powerplant and a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, will be the most powerful 3 Series wagon in the States in the immediate future. We are not surprised, as this follows BMW’s trend initiated when they launched the E46 3 Series Touring to the U.S. market in 2001. That model, like the current version, was never fitted with anything but the entry-level six-cylinder engine. Those who crave BMW’s award-winning twin-turbo six-cylinder under the hood of their family hauler can opt for BMW’s 535xi Sports Wagon. The engine, and all-wheel drive, are standard.
