The rear view reminds me of the M Coupe. The first M car I drove.

Nothing better than a sporty station wagon when you have a family and an active Lifestyle (Bike, Ski, Snowboard etc.)
I don't get it why BMW does not provide a solution for this. I've been BMW for many many years. I've always wanted a V8 and a wagon in my thirties. I would waive the V8 if there were a G81 M3 wagon. But I think I will break up with BMW and will go for the new Audi RS6 for my next car. Even though the performance will not be on the same level of the F90 M5, but optical wise with the 22 inch wheels, it really makes the M5 look boring and practical wise it can't be beaten. |

Have you seen the RS6 Avant?
Looks 10x better and you can actually buy one, in the US even. BMW doesn't sell wagons in America anymore and won't bring them back. The F31 was the end of an era.

They say the same about the RS5 and whilst the C63 S can be a bit of a handful, it gives it character, just like my M3 comp has. Drive them and see if you agree.

This is a beautiful render BTW. The lines transfer really well from GC to Touring. |

Honestly what is the point of these renders? The 8 is supposed to be a coupe of some sort by history.
"Look at my 8 series pickup render" "look at my 7 series estate/station wagon render" "look at what I think a 3 series car/plane hybrid would look like" Some people have too much time on their hands |

I used to live in Europe, there's $80-90k station wagons but don't remember seeing any baller families in $140k station wagons.

To everyone lusting after an RS6 - I wonder if this is 3 factors added together. One, a new one has just come out. Two, they haven't been in the states before. Three, they have a history of 4 versions now.
Obviously I haven't driven the new one but I spent a lot of time in the C7 shape and they honestly aren't that great. As people always say they are very inert and feel very heavy but what few people report on is the amount of torque steer that the C6 and C7 generations have. I also found the interior very low rent with plastic everywhere. Compared to the M5 and M6 with full leather the interior on the C7 looked like it was competing against the E39, not the F10/F13 generation. The C8 finally has an option for a leather dash but I'm sceptical about everything being controlled via touch. I'm very jealous of the 10 piston brake calipers though

8 GC wagon will be good alternative to Panarama Turismo if you ask me.
I don't get everyone's lust over RS6, still prefer E63S wagon And if I want pure practicality I would go for V90 |

Yes, but IMO a G81 M3 Touring would be >> Avants RS6
There is a market for Wagons, but it needs to be G80 platform, IMO. That is where the manual transmission will be offered. Quote:
Especially with a 6MT. Does a Golf R makes sense? This is the same concept, but larger...... Quote:

I saw an F80 converted Wagon driving this Summer it was amazing, and I think about that car all the time, it would be the ideal enthusiast do-it-all car. |

I have alway loved the Merc and Audi wagons! I wished they sold them here in the US like they do overseas! However, I also find it hard to "fall" into cars nowadays having some back issues so I do love my SU/AV. I can slide right in and out! If the wagons were as readily available, it would have been a tough choice! I love the E63 and RS6's. I think they look even better than their sedan siblings!
