yeah there was a topgear where he compared it to some e-class mercedes AMG v8 on an empty runway

It sounds promising until you look at it.

Previous model M5it was better.

WTF do you need something like this for?

[e34john]

So children in the carseats can wave bye to Corvettes. I don't know euro thing I guess, its their version of the Escalade.

RS6> M5T

M5 sedan > RS6/RS4

[Wh33lhop]

Depends on what you're looking for

RS6 is auto and AWD
M5 offers stick/SMG and RWD

580hp and a TT V10 is nothing to sneeze at but it's not enough to get a 4500lb AWD car to do that ^

Wagon are popular in europe because:
1. Pick up trucks are a rare sight in europe
2. They can look good, carry alot of shit and put a smile on the driver's face
3. Taxes: It's much cheaper to own 1 m5 wagon than 1 m5 + 1 525iT in terms of taxes
4. Space constraints: just no room to have more than 1 car a person (in bigger cities)
5. Vacation... nothing like annoying P-car on the way to an alpine vacay in courchevel with skiis on the roof & the trunk full of shit.

as cool as they seem, they are a flop. we had one ordered and sitting on our lot for about a half a year before someone actually bought it.-- yeah, I got to take it out for a "spin"!

noone is buying them-- not like BMW expected/thought.
