Still like to know if the f31 335i is US bound:-) that will make things tough.

I've spent a lot of time lurking on the F30 forums (still haven't decided whether I'll get the F30/31 or X1) and I think Scott26 at some point indicated that the F31 would come in only one configuration, N20 4 cyl w/ 8-speed auto. That would be consistent with what they are doing with the E91 (NA 6 cyl with auto trans) and makes sense given that they had previously decided not to bring the F31 to the US at all. Again, we get screwed by the fact that American's don't buy wagons
