I just checked out the BMW ETK parts catalog.
For Europe, there is only the choice of LHD for the 530xi/xd models.
I would say that this just about confirms it!

Well I guess seeing as BMW sell their saloons on the whole RWD/front steer principle it goes against virtually everything they stand for.
But then if that's the case, they shouldn't make them at all.

And I don't think that AUDI makes them in RHD trim either!

Well, if I wanted an AWD station wagon, I would buy a AUDI RS 6 Quattro Avant!

If I'm honest, I'm more an Audi fan than a BMW fan. Before getting the 530d we were after a 3.0TDi A6 quattro. Unfortunately/fortunately they were just too expensive at the time (second hand) as they were slightly newer.
Had we been able to secure a good deal on one, I probably wouldn't have looked at BMW at all. I'm pleased I did though.
