Still would go for RS6 for lots of reasons but I won't deny that M5 is a great car too

Crazy that BMW says 50% of US buyers are opting for the M5 wagon vs the sedan. Who said wagons are dead?

Please do a U-drag with a Stelvio Quadrifoglio and like a Macan or X3M 🙏

For years we asked BMW to sell the M5 estate here and they made us wait. Now it’s here but weight…!

We at Edmunds have a deep love for wagons, let alone hi-po wagons like these two. What's your favorite wagon, current or past? Let us know in the comments!
