I am not surprised. I have a stick shift wagon and there is not a single manual shift 4 door hatchback or wagon in the entire BMW US lineup, although there is outside the US. I suppose if I have to get something new it might be a VW R, which is nice but has too much weight on the nose, or maybe a 328 4 door with fold down rear seats. My wife has a 2013 4 door and the seat bottoms are thin and hard , the steering is too easy, and the 4 cylinder doesn't sound as nice as my E30 318i. So, there is nothing in their line up that really motivates me towards a new car.
