That's pretty cool. Assume no manual though.
Yesterday I saw an E63S AMG Wagon. Now that's an amazing wagon. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...n-test-review/

LOL. I do hate the new grille aesthetics.

As a corollary, I don’t understand the new tiny headlights aesthetic, either. With the E30 for scale, you can see how small they are....

The wagon looks much better than the sedan, though I"m still not a fan of the aesthetics. The side reminds me a bit of the Volvo V60 wagon- which I think is probably the best looking wagon in that segment. Still, if they brought an M340 wagon to the US, i'd buy it. On that note, I never understood why they chose to bring both the 4 cyl diesel and gas engines with the F30 generation but not the 6 turbo. Wagon buyers already had to pay a sizable premium over an equivalent x3, so I'm sure they'd have sold equally as much (maybe more) had they only offered the 6.
