Audi, for some reason, has the avant segment down better than bmw. RS4 Avant just makes so much more sense than M3 wagon.

One thing for sure is a monster diesel F31 would sell even better than the hypothetical F81 in the UK |

I think the middle air scoop on the bumper needs more emphasis. It looks like it could pass as an M-Sport bumper. Could be just me though.

As for a matter of half-assing it, I would direct you to turbocharging and electric steering. BMW is a shadow of it's former self. So if you can't find anything worthwhile in the new approach, I'd take a look at a nice used model. They are still awesome.

They will eventually loose quite many customers to both Audi (RS4....absolutely fantastic car) and Alpina B3 Biturbo. The later, just revealed at Geneva Motor show, points with a N54 real double turbo inline 6 version with 410 HP and 600 Nm torque, allowing a 0-100 km/h of only 4.2 sec while top speed ranks at 302 km/h for the X-drive. Since this is convincing, BMW M lost one more customer. I already test drove the RS4, waiting now for the test of the Alpina before taking a final decision on which one to order. The only decision already taken is : good bye M. As Munich As Munich continues investing time and money in market research to bring more stupid models like 1 GT, 3 GT, 5 GT.....at the end those are all just unemotional pieces of waste, that are not part of BMW's identity....their clear goal is just to raise The brand to the same level of mass production than many other producers. The policy of high productivity bringing enormous dividends to shareholders is more present in Munich than ever before......NO MORE SHEER DRIVING PLEASURE |

Have to chime in... With a growing family and changing priorities I too would probably snap one of these up in a heartbeat. Assuming it came with a real transmission (at least as an option), i.e. the DCT. I probably would not buy it with a traditional automatic.

Add me to the list of current E90 owners who would put a deposit on this today if it were coming to the US. My wife's daily driver is a 2010 A6 Avant and while we love the supercharged 6 in that car, the handling leaves a lot to be desired. Sadly Audi isn't brining the A6 Avant or S6 Avant to the US so when we replace that car we're very likely to be shopping MB for the first time for an E63 wagon. That's a little bigger than we really want/need (one 3 year old son and one very chunky English bulldog) so an M3 wagon would be perfect.
Please BMW... reconsider. |

E63 wagon is rouhgly the same size as the A6 avant. And keep in mind there's always the in-between with the E350 wagon. |

The E350 does nothing for me. It feels substantially more floaty, less powerful and less fun to drive than our current A6 avant. |
