I'm interested too. The X5M is too large for the city.

Go for the Alpina B3 Touring or B5 Touring, there you have your M3/M5 wagon.

Good to know.
I guess the RS4 Avant and C63 estate I keep seeing are hallucinations then.

Usable boot (trunk) on a performance car shouldn't mean a 300kg weight penalty and stilts. Audi RS avant models have been selling fine for years. |

Makes sense to who? Bean counters and share holders? Or brand loyalists? Because with this bloated lineup and confused sales force, eventually one of those aforementioned groups exits the building.

Lol! They now officially make every M car possible, except for a touring. Lol!!!! Almost like they're spiting you guys.
Next up, a solar powered and sustainable miniature ///M shopping cart for your groceries. "What? What's that? A touring M5? Don't be silly!" |

AMG doesn't have a six cylinder engine yet (the M276 V6 in the *43 models isn't an AMG-proper engine), but they are working on one (a higher performance version of the new M256 inline six). Once that is complete it is likely to start replacing the lower-output M177 applications in future generation AMG products. |

Only trouble is can I make my 135i last another 2-3 years in the meantime....? This is probably the only way I'll get a X3 in the UK with a petrol engine

Only M5 wagon was the E61 and they hardly sold a lot of them, they only about 200 in the UK as demand just wasn't there.

I think far too many people on here are still not grasping that X1 and X2 are built off the UKL platfoirm with it's transverse engine layout In fact I could see the X1M/X2M being a hybrid using the I3 engine given it's use in the i8.....??

And E34 also. But in any case your point stands - M wagons have not been offered regularly, and when they have been they are produced in very small numbers.

i might get one. i had to move from an M3 to an X5 after kids. I don't like the new X5 and its a bit too big for city driving. I could never bring myself to buy the old gen X5M because of the crappy transmission and mileage. iif this is my chance to get in an M-car, i'd appreciate it.
