I'm MB-fanboi #1, but not a fan of the CLS-SB, especially the front fenders
Love me some W205 Estate though, and that Alpina B3T is too.

I don't know if someone threw this in here already but someone threw a v10 into a 3 series hatch m3 conversion. If I had infinite money this would definitely be on my list.

Yup the Golf Sportwagen has all the stampings needed to just bolt on the R chassis components. Seemed rather straight forward.

If something happened to mine, I'd be hard pressed to not do the swap myself.
