BMW 5 SERIES TOURING (2003-CURRENT)

We Say...
The image of driving a wagon may not be the most manly, but consider the alternative of driving a car on stilts (i.e. SUV), then the BMW 5 Series Touring makes a hell of a lot sense. Expect SUV-like road manners with true sports sedan handling with this car. It only comes in one model, so it's good that at least it's the right engine.
Makes more sense than a BMW X5 or X3.
Now, if we could just have the 535d...
