(Un)intented purchase?

I got my first estate 15+ years ago because we were going to get a dog. It was an Impreza which went all over the place carrying bikes, ski and climbing gear. Next I had a ZTT400 that did similar, plus towed my race car. My pregnant wife even slept in it at Croft when the tent collapsed. I've moved on to 7 seaters now but am looking at Volvos as petrol+manual SUVs/MPVs don't happen.

And I still don't have a dog.

I've recently picked up an E91 330D M Sport, with a bunch of options. It is currently performing all duties thrown at it, extremely well. Highly recommended!

I've got a C63s estate, I love when I rev it people look right past it without even realising that it is me

Here's my boring old man car



With 306bhp of turbocharged goodness

Bought a 3.2 Vectra estate and it is an excellent load lugger, lots of space especially with the seats down. Estates rule!

I don't buy new or flash cars anymore & currently own a thousand pounds worth of old 407. I'd never not buy an estate & find saloons a bit pointless really, you can even put the seats down sleep comfortably in the back of most estates if you need to.

Estates are cool, had 4 as second cars over the years just for the dog run, tip run and I can honestly say I would miss one if I didn't have one.

My estate is now an M5 touring with 507bhp and I hoon across Europe several times because I can. The touring is such an epic car for any long distance journey.

I do have an urge to fit a tow bar to it so I can tow my E30 M3 just for the fun of it

Pfft you don't need an estate to move a bed!

Recently purchased a BMW f11 after months of looking. Have wanted an estate as an everyday car for a while now, it's great. The perfect family car.

I got an entire 11 unit ikea kitchen In the back (worktops on roof racks) of a mk2 focus estate, the picking list had a total of 697kg in weight, dragging it's arse down the outer ring road in leeds but it got everything home. I think I heard it breath a huge sigh of relief when unloaded.

All to save 25 quid of a delivery charge, just what the fudge was I thinking?!?

[Mr E]

All 5.5 litres of it.
Will take a palette in the boot with the seats up.

[Second Best]

I had mine over last Christmas and I remember going to see my parents with my sister in the passenger seat, the rear seats (still up) full of suitcases, the entire boot filled with presents and decorations, with a 7ft Christmas tree strapped to the top of the car. Having the legs on Civic Type Rs and E46 M3s whilst carrying a small nativity play was extremely satisfying.

All of the stuff pictured would have fitted in the average hatch
Estates look better though

I bought one two years ago, loved it so much that I went out and bought another but back just one again now.

I'd love one of those, but they're a bit nice still for the crappy single track road I live on.

It is a bit big for small roads. I commute in a cheap hatchback as a result.
