Not set in stone by any means but we are strongly considering it. I'm trying to stay away from a 3 or 5 series wagon. Looking for something different. Anyone have any opinions or comments?
Hopefully the B8 avant is larger than the B7. I always included the B7 Avant in past buying decisions but could never get past that it felt way too narrow and way to cramped with the sloping roofline. Feels like a 3/4 scale car to me. Allroad felt like right-sized to me. But maybe the B8 Avant is the perfect San Fran city car for you, and when you have more than one normal sized passenger, you can treat them to a much more pleasant ride in the M5.
