I wanted to ease the pain for you guys by saying the F11 (5-series Touring) is the nicer car anyway (stick, diesel, RWD or AWD, you name it)...but then I realised you don't get those either, so that would just be cruel. Seriously though, although we get some sweet vehicles here in Europe we also have to pay through the nose for them generally speaking so really the joke is on us...
