Probably for you guys in US it’s just a “wagon”… but for us in Europe it’s a “Ferrari eater”
I can't imagine anything more fun than kicking a Ferrari's butt in a station wagon with all the luggage in the back and whatnot.

One of my friends here in Switzerland has a MERCEDES E 55 AMG “WAGON” modified by Carlsson, and they’ve put 700bhp in that “wagon” .
I'ts a "wagon" limited to 320 Km/h

If it ever was offered here in the US, I'd be very surprised
if they sold more than a dozen or, two...it's a niche filled,'
that no one really asked for, imo.

Who's going to pay that much for a minivan? There can't be that many soccer moms with a need for speed.. And even less who are going to spend that much anyway.

There is nothing like running down coupes in a wagon. I do it all the time; G35s, 350ZXs, Stangs -------- all while I have a child seat in the rear of the S6.

Beautiful car. I am with the Europeans, wagons are definitely cool. North Americans can't get the image of Vista Cruisers and Country Squires out of their minds, IMO.

My ideal vehicle would be a 535T, BMW Individual (with M5 extended leather), rwd, with the twin-turbo 3.0, manual trans, and M Sport kit (looking just like the M5), plus an XEDE, and with the roof rails added back on to carry the bikes. Can't convince my wife, but she has agreed to a 2007 X3.

Can't justify an M5 based on fuel consumption and overabundance of electronics, but the look is fantastic.
