What do you all think?

 

[Flash5]

I vote pro5.

 

[mountjonas]

i think that any m5 wagon owner would turn their snotty nose at the thought of being compared to a dodge.

 

[NCZ13]

that e63 wagon is the ugliest thing ive ever seen. what a vomit of a mercedes

 

[orlandomsp]

I thought the M5 had a V10. Is that a typo or is that only found in the sedan?

 

[Rogue]

I'm torn. I love the way the new C63 looks. That front end is just sooo aggressive (to me), but I've always loved the RS4. Plus you get a 6M as opposed to the Auto in the MB.

So, I guess I'm voting for the RS4.

 

[Rogue]

...but if I had to choose which one to buy, I'd get the Magnum. Black, black rims with polished lip, dark tint, and a pusher bar on the front.

BMW M5. Space-wise the Magnum sucks. The SRT-8 looks somehow attractive, but it does not have real wagon capabilities. For the rest of the choices, never seen one close enough

Yeah, not an M5, but my in-laws drive a 530d in the old continent (E61? (scratch)) and those wagons are superb/sport/spacy cars (nowadays I need to consider enough room for the baby car seat plus easy-in, easy-out access including luggage). The BMW5 worked just great, 4 comfortable passengers + 1 baby, no problem. As per the Volvo v40 we got for the trip, nah.

Too much (blah), to the point: (BMW 5 Series Wagon)+(M Factor) =(drive2)

Its a typo.

Yes that is true but the Magnum SRT-8 is the most bang for the buck out of this list.

RS4

that was easy

 

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

I am a brand ***** so BMW all the way!

 

[AJ08]

Audi RS4 love it

 

[mikeyb]

I am a brand ***** so BMW all the way!

I already knew that! hehe

 

[TinmanMS6]

I've always loved M5s, but I hate the look of this generation of 5-series. Love the RS4, but the Lambo V10 in the RS6 is just too sexy to pass on.

 

[J-protege]

That e63 Benz is such a grampa car, haha.

I really like the magnum, but it's just because I like the rest as their sedan versions better, the wagons look wierd.

The magnum at least feels to be designed as a wagon, not a sedan the mutated into a wagon.
