They don't have these in the USA because last time they tried a hatchback was 95-99 with the 318ti. As we know, it failed miserably. But the market has changed since then. Those were the days of the SUV craze. Not saying that's not still a factor here in America, but c'mon BMW. You had one hell of a year, why not give it another shot.
Having owned a 318ti in the past, and loving the blend of practicality and driving pleasure, I'd gladly ditch my 335xi for an m135i. Hint hint BMW...
