BMW has no competitor for the RS4 Avant as yet. I know there are customers out there that would definitely like an M3 Touring but I guess it’s just not enough for BMW. If you pick up copies of BMW Magazine or Performance BMW from the newstands you can sometimes see E46 Tourings turned into makeshift M3s. Each of the other 3-Series bodies have already received its M3 – the E90, E92, and the E93, but at least the E91 has a 335i, which can be chipped into an M3 contender.
Another option would be to get one of these babies – an “M3 Estate” custom-built from an E91 by Manhart Racing. It’s not exactly an M3 with a touring tail – the engine and transmission package in the engine bay is completely different as well and comes from the ‘older’ E60 M5. This means a big 5.0 litre high-revving V10 putting out 550 PS and BMW’s 7-speed single clutch SMG transmission. It’s already been pre-tuned with various bits and pieces from factory – a stainless steel quad-pipe exhaust, 200-cell racing catalysts, 6-pot front/4-pot rear Stoptech brakes, Bilstein PSS10 coilover suspension, etc.
The rear end of the car is typical E91 wagon (in these photos it is the pre-facelift version) but at the front, the whole unappealing pre-facelift E90 front-end has been replaced by the E92 coupe look, which is the same thing that BMW did with the E90 M3 Sedan anyway. You can buy one for €120,000, and of course converting your existing E91 is cheaper. But at the same time, an M5 Touring only costs under €100,000.

BMW is one of the car that need much more money to keep it in best conditions(im talking about standard BMW)..thats why many company prefers mercedez as their official car(cheap to maintain)
as for korean cars,
i had saw with my bare eyes countless of not-soo old kia carnival/naza citra which had dep-shit troublesome engine which resulting in full-overhauled…i couldnt see the same trend for our Proton
personally,
KIA are much nonsense to buy than proton…u guys owning naza citra?? u will surprised each spark-plug costs u rm150(v6 engine which need rm900 each time to replace spark-plug))
i think i prefer the audi rs6, that really is ass kicking in an estate.
these car meant 2 be collected like stamps n bragged… not 2 be use daily to wet market…
i'll pass (as if i can own one hehe ). anyway… nice wheels..
Yes, that day i opened this web site and then my Kaspersky alert display got
threat….
Guys, I've tracked and removed the virus code that was inserted by hackers, are you guys still getting any attacks?
I din get any sort of hacking from this website, maybe it was blocked by my firefox browser.
wahhh kereta mayat..!
It is BMW
When they have money, they spend it on this.
A chipped 850 T5 wagon cost much less money and can give this BMW a run for its money.
The tail looks a bit weird for the whole car. C63 AMG and RS4 looks more "1 piece".
nice touch from bmw.but why its look like 'kereta mayat'.bukan nak kutuk tapi try to see clearly on the car
dont care lah waht ever mayat car.. meleleh bro..
rim saje dah tak tahan tgk dah.
perh! mencanak!
