It'll be interesting to compare quoted weights with real world measurements, but this isn't as heavy as I had imagined initially (> 3800 lbs). Now, if this is DIN weight, 3800 lbs might well be within range.

Yes more concrete numbers coming in.

My impending first kid wants that wagon.

Ezio · 09-23-2014, 04:29 PM

i would take this over a M3. But that doesn't mean i love it in all areas.

The wagon looks absolutely stunning!! Is "perfect" too strong of a word?

VMRWheels · 09-23-2014, 05:00 PM

Much bigger fan of the real-world shots. Looks promising!

If this car ends up being 3600-3700 lbs, you can bet the m3/4 isnt going to stand a chance at any facet. Think about this, the C63 Black Series with 510 hp and weighing 4000+ lbs was faster than an M3 GTS and is faster than an M4 on VIR by large margin despite a massive disadvantage in weight and barely any additional hp given how underrated the m3/4 are.

Holy moly. Sedan is a yawnfest imo besides the sweet interior, but good god the Estate is perfection. Now THAT I would happily have!!

infinitekidM2C · 09-23-2014, 05:26 PM

Sick, how much is this bitch gonna cost me to make it the family hauler?

jbraslins · 09-23-2014, 05:29 PM

Love the exterior. Love the wagon. Don't like the interior.

Was in the regular C class and interior is a notch or two above BMW in every regard. Steering wheel is just perfect too. Add the AMG treatment and its a clear winner.
And when it comes to the sound system, the Burmeister is better than anything BMW has going for it in that area.

Unfortunately you won't find something like that in a 3-Series anytime soon, which shows the difference between what a 3-Series is vs. what a C-Class is supposed to be. I wish BMW would implement the B&O system in all their models as an option.

Love it! Red time attack stuff is easily fixed. Exhaust tips are also easily fixed. Wish the fenders were flared more. Needs more snarly stuff.

Only downside is if it really will be ~4000lbs. 3600 is a much better number.

The red "time attack" stuff is only on the Edition 1 version.

We rarely see the Edition 1 AMG variants here in the States.

We rarely see much of anything different or interesting here in the States.

Pretty much looks exactly what renders have suggested so far, and this is a good thing!

Very conservative styling however, which would definitely suit someone like me.

Love that it has a V8. I hope BMW returns to that in the G-generation of M3/M4 -- rumors are the cylinder count is heading in the opposite direction, though.

Like the flared fenders, but wish the rear were flared as well.

It's a bit portly, which is too bad.

Absolutely love the sport seats.

Love the fact that the S is being offered in RWD, though I'm not sure where the extra weight is coming from.

Do we know what kind of transmission it has? Anything but a DCT would be unfortunate.

b0bab0i · 09-23-2014, 08:28 PM

Wagon > Sedan by far.

swanson · 09-23-2014, 08:42 PM

Love this car. Back to the drawing board, BMW.
