Can't justify an M5 based on fuel consumption and overabundance of electronics, but the look is fantastic.
Hopefully Americans will finally get sick of the Suburbans, Hummers, and Expeditions of this world. AWD wagons are so much more practical.

When the US petrol prices will be the same that in Europe (5 dollars the gallon) they will start loving the European “wagons” and DIESEL.
