Would have fickset the image too, but you know, that might not work out so well.

Or as they say in Bavaria: "Accept Gnome Substitutes."

"Accept Gnome Substitutes Except Nome Substitutes."

Impossible.

Thanks for the replies. "Style" seems to be the main factor, then.

Personally, the only coupe I would even consider taking over its sedan counterpart is the fifth-generation BMW 3-Series (see below). Its design seems a lot more cohesive. Otherwise, I'd opt for 4 doors every time.

Style... In my opinion the E91 (fifth generation BMW 3 series wagon/touring) is the most stylistic!

Mine is bone stock. However, you can see great examples of how people mod them in Europe in this picture thread:

Wagons are just not popular here in the US. Probably a lower take rate then manual transmissions. Which makes my 6spd manual E91 a very rare car...

Aloha!

There's a 3-Series wagon in my parking garage just like yours (but in silver), with stick and X-drive. The combination of manual, AWD, and hatch is unbeatable.

Yes, better yet an AWD diesel wagon with stick is a mythical beast who's legend is admired all throughout the vortex (VWVortex).
