E46 M3 CSL should be on that list. It brings tears to my eyes that there are none in the U.S.

I really don't think the M5 Touring would have much interest in the US anyway.
I don't know about that...my wife would be able to bring her shopping home faster!

Here is the old Top Gear episode compairing the AMG E Class Estate and the M5 Touring

I asked my local MB dealer if he'd be able to get me an E63 Wagon, and from the look I got in return I swear I'd have gotten a more positive response if I'd asked him to lend me money or let me sleep with his wife...

No love in the US for wagons here in the US... It's a shame, as I'd be all over an E61 M5 like a rash if it were available here.

Me too Steven, I would love an M5 for my self and an E61 M5 for the wife. Now THERE'S a dream garage!!!! (well, my dream anyway, along with a 67 Stingray)

There's just something about a grocery/soccer hauler that can hit 180 mph that simply boggles the mind

Supposedly they will, it is going to be coming. Of course if it's like the old scirocco the guys that buy them will be grease balls, it was the German Camaro of the 80s where I lived
