I have an estate and use it to transport a combined 125Kg of dogs. One of them is still growing so I'll need to change vehicle at some point, not sure there will be a big enough estate that exists :-(

Because as a 18 year old with a puppy Rottweiler and a convertible E46, something had to go.

Goodbye BMW, hello Avant; road trips across Europe, dog carrier and a subwoofer big enough to make you want to gag from your tonsils vibrating.




and because Estate 63's are way smarter than the coupe/saloon equivalent..

You can easily have a fully grown Rottweiler in a convertible. I've had a fully grown Great Dane in a convertible, only had to get rid due to getting a second Dane, that really wasn't going to work.

Miss my old C350 3.5ltr Petrol goodness with AMG mapping, was like a whippet. Even had the 500ltr roof box because of all the twins stuff.

Even the hatchback Octavia has a massive boot, but I agree estates are awesome.

Here's my old man Mundano, with a heady 220bhp, not the quickest by a long shot and 25mpg sucks, but apart from that I can't fault it (apart from the door sill trim that wants to depart the car)

I looked at these but the only wagons we got had bad engines.

On way to LeMans Classic a few years ago in my old Alpina. Not the biggest of estates, but still took a fair amount of stuff for camping, BBQs, etc. The M3 was full of wine and beer biggrin

Was it difficult to fit the gun turret?
