Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I want to get this car and make it look like a normal E class and then race ricers and make them cry

 

The AMG version of the wagon makes me drool. 3.8 sec 0-60 time. That is flipping fast for a wagon.

Can't believe I didn't find this sooner. Since I don't have my garage heated I only play with my mechanical toys starting in spring. My tech fever usually keeps me warm in the winter.

Take off the V8 Biturbo badge and put on an "E320" badge and you're good to go :D Some nice 16's wouldnt hurt. and some black paint on those calipers

What about making this look like a normal Golf wagon

Did somebody say wagon? 

~~

Lol, I don't know how long you've been around on this thread, but I've posted some old American wagons quite a few times. I don't know much about muscle, but theyre sick.  Chevelle wagons are SWEET!

 

I wouldnt mind this one either

I saw some crazy driving a Buick Electra Estate. It looked huge and bloated, so weird.

E: Crazy because of fuel costs. If Americans complain about gas prices, they'd probably refuse driving here.

Welcome to the thread! Be prepared for it to take up WAYY too much of your free time :D

 

I noticed you liking my earlier posts from the beginning of this thread (pg 2-3). Did you make it through the entire thread, or did you stop? ~250 pages is a lot to go through lol

Here guys, here's the true reason why wagons stopped being popular in America.

8687402dd9.png

I honestly hate the fact that they don't import wagon models of the M5, RS6, and the E63 AMG. They would have some great potential in the Americas. But since people here don't like wagons, they decided fuck that, we ain't selling them here. Fuck America for not allowing these wonderful wagons to be sold here.

They're too expensive to build/import and very few people would buy a more expensive car with the same trim than just going up a engine choice. It would nice to offer an option for wagon for choice sake, but Europeans can't even afford the basic economy car, housing, or even a mid range computer, so them bragging about it is just like those talking about the not buying the GTX 970 when they couldn't even afford it.

Then why are they even allowed to sell them in Europe if Europeans can't even afford them themselves?

Then why are they even allowed to sell them in Europe if Europeans can't even afford them themselves?

There will always be the few that will buy them, very few estates are sold because of the size of European roads and having a small engine in Europe or Asia isn't a big problem because the short lengths of their roads and congestion. Compared to America where even the base 328i can't be found with a manual option with forum users stating that dealers can only find 5 within the entire country, it is not profitable to export unpopular models and nobody what to buy a luxury car made in mexico like Mercedes chose to do.

They honestly should sell these nice estates here since we got the roads for them and plus we have more rich people so we want a higher demand.
