Funny, my wife also hates station wagons. But I love my Touring - just the right blend of sporty and function for me. Although mine is lowered on coilovers and larger wheels / tires. Also a 6 spd manual and x-drive for the winter.

The downside to the Tourings is they are really expensive when new, so resale is higher than it should be. The X1/X3 is probably the better buy for the $

The 3.0 though...Such a low price! There was a E46 B3 last night too and it sold for almost a million JPY. If you bought that E36 B3 3.0 you'd have it on the road (on the west coast) for less than $7,000
Definitely a good buy for someone, even if it needs some reconditioning.
