Considering the MX6 exist though, BMW would be much more likely to build a F84 than F81. U.S. consumers have repeatedly rejected wagons: so much so that the 5er wagon doesn't even get imported now. That, and BMW USA doesn't even think the F31 deserves a N55, much less S55.
On a side-note, the 4GC does not sit on the 3er long-wheel base. F34 and F35 are the only models that have the LWB.

And the convertible isn't a ridiculous notion? I guaranty you a F81 would be no more heavy (if not lighter) than the vert and also be much more structurally ridged and up to task to handling dynamics and demands. I personally would sell my SUV and pick up a M4 wagon in a cardiac arrest beat.
