This is the same guy that built this LS swapped E39 Touring and this M5 swapped E38.
You know, for that kind of bread, you could have an RS6 Avant and a lot of Thai hookers and blow.

Just saying +

It's funny, if I were back in Germany I would want the RS6/E63 AMG because they would have a dual purpose. Maybe a trailer hitch too (for pulling a small trailer for trips to the lumber/home store). But the petrol prices there are a bit rough (~$5.50/gallon). This is why a diesel makes sense there (~$! less a gallon, with much better MPG).

Here in the USA? The RS4/C63AMG would be great, because they would be used for fun, then I'd get a pick-em-up truck for the hard work.

And the RS4 Estate. I mean, you could change an Allroad into something a bit close, but it's not the same.

The B5 crowd generally despises the B6 platform in a lot of ways (I particularly don't like the B6 either ... ), but the wagons look pretty damn good in comparison to the sedans.

Also .. the 4.2 is a nightmare when chains are toast but, when the work is done ...it probably makes for an solid / reliable daily.

I'm talking nonsense, 2.7T swap all of the things.

That is a beautiful car. Despite how deserved the B6's reliability reputation may be, I think it's still a bit underrated. V8/AWD/manual/wagon. Come on...

The B5 Avant remains the best looking of the series.

Per oonowindoo's post, I have to wonder here: If BMW actually made the snout a touch lower so that it flows with the downward angle of the headlights I think the front would not be so terrible? The other challenge is the kidney bean quality of the BMW front...Audi (and Mercedes) has nothing splitting it in half as it's just one piece. The fact it is 2 separate shapes for BMW in this case is a flaw to the look.

I want to like it but man, that's just super ugly.

You will be indistinguishable from all the other moms

haha i have been cutting my own hair with the best fade since High School... that was how all the AZNs do it back in the days...
So hair cut was never an issue for me..

I dont think that will be the case tho... all the moms all drive RX350... you rarely see anyone drive X3... but that is why i am also considering M3... i will be VERY distinguishable from everyone..

Ok I should reiterate. It's the moms that are around our age: X3/X5/X6, with some of the really bougie ones driving the M variants.

Our moms on the other hand be driving the RX350s.

No touring... dont think that will be coming to the US....

we will see what happens in June... it all depends on the program and pricing at that time... I looked at the comparable cars from Benz and Audi... their programs still suck balls.
So chances are i might be forced to stick with BMW solely based on pricing...

I know.. first world problem

Okay...so, you'd consider an M3/M4 with that nose?

Dude...that's some mega-ugly...
