A 540i wagon, or heck, even a 530e would be great for us.
I've had wagons for over 20-years.

E39, E91 and the F11. 5-series wagons are highly rated over here in the UK.

Shame for wagon users that the US market is now dominated by SUV type vehicles.

Even before the rise of the SUV, hatchbacks and wagons were never really that popular here. But now with SUVs and pickups completely dominating the market, coupes, convertibles, and even sedans are all endangered, never mind a wagon! Fingers crossed for a nice G61!

I believe so. I definitely have the triangles that show traffic backed up. When I was on the highway stuck in a traffic jam, the Nav was filled with the triangles showing the estimated length of the jam and it updated as I progressed. When I progressed to where the traffic jam ended, the NAV indicated that the jam was clearing up as always.
It also offered alternative routes showing the ETA saved as well.

I guess I am lucky that it somehow still works.

Ahhh.... The triangles are FM based traffic info. Our 2012 535i had that after I didn't pay the $200 for the RTTI & Concierge services. I fully expected to see the triangles in our 2014, yet I don't and I don't know why.

G30 is pretty, f10 front end though >>>
G30 head lights is my biggest grief about it. shape is too soft while everything else looks more aggressive (love how that grill looks though.)

not big on those wheels either but the tail end and interior are very nice.

I really disliked the wheels when I first saw them. They have actually really frown on me. I toyed with the idea of swapping the wheels from our F10 (351s)with the G30, but IMHO, I don't think the design fits the body.

edit:
I don't know why it looks looks like I'm in Australia . Ignore the bugs...
