If BMW wants to grow and survive, they can't leave potential customers on the table.
I don't think we'll get it here, as long as they're still selling the X1. At a base of $35,000 (USD equivalent) there aren't many U.S. customers in the market for a little minivan that costs that much. Unless it turns out to be cheaper to make it in Spartanburg, in which case we'll probably get it.

Fixed that for you.
EDIT: OST beat me to the joke...
but sliding doors are one of the best features of a minivan. Why make a minivan without them?
Sliding doors keep it a mini-van as opposed to a crossover.
Example:
Mini-Van
Crossover

Mini-Van = life failure now just a parent
Crossover = Fun life with your kids in tow!!!

It looks nice for a minivan.

Stay tuned for the upcoming BMW pick up truck, lawn mower and toilet paper. Might as well, they want to be all things for all people.

I drive a mazda5 soo.....whatever floats your goat.
I loved our 5 and kind of miss it. The Louisiana roads and standing water just tore it apart and those headlights were obnoxious $ to replace.
If I lived somewhere that didn't have standing water you had to ford daily and very little snow with good roads I would buy another is a heart beat.
Seating for six, comfortable, good gas mileage, good space, and easy to fit in parking spots. It should have out sold every cute ute 2 to 1. But we are more concerned with appearance than function. So goes the MINI van. Now we are left with bloated monstrosities the size of the original Econoline but FWD and non_existant towing ability.
I love my mazda5; wouldn't spend 35 large on something like it though....

It also is a BMW thread, and BMW up to this point has been anti FWD (MINI is not branded BMW thus doesn't count) and I loved them for it. I even forgave them for not putting dip sticks in anymore, but this one is going to be hard for me to get over.
my first thaught was it looks like a volvo.
