I’ve currently got a 2008 BMW 535d estate which I would like to replace with a fast petrol estate.

My dreams an Audi RS6 estate but think I will wait on that, been looking at the S6 estate and even the S4 estate.

Also noticed I can get a C63 AMg in my price range but they all seem to be black on black or silver. I don’t want a black, silver or white car.

The E63 AMG estate in my opinion is a classier looking car than the c63 but can’t find many e63 in my price range ( the square headlight one not the round headlight one)

Anything else I should consider, unfortunately no M3 estate and the M5 estates are expensive, what would be perfect is a BMW 550i as it’s discrete, but I think I need a V10 in my life.

Budget wise £20k max. What have I missed?

Edit: I immediately failed by not reading the £20k budget...

You could get a white/black/silver C63 wrapped any colour you wanted for about a grand, I believe.

I was looking at that last night, but unfortunately out my budget, which started at 15k then i realised if i stretched it to 20 i would have a lot more options

Nice looking car but don't want the hassle of having to import something

Yes i know, however i prefer to keep my cars standard, plus i would be worried about the paint getting damaged when the wrap is removed in 3-5 years time when i decide i want a different car.

Closer to £3k for a decent wrap job of a car that size.

Not many to choose from though, but a good shout.

C63 would be the choice for me, pre head bolts a reliable package and that noise smile

This is what I’m drawn to at the moment, the V10, the fact it’s discrete and the fact I want to have an RS6 one day.

S6 would be something I'd be looking at.

I had a C63 estate with the performance pack plus ... Such an epic car. The one car I really miss that engine.

Mine was black with light interior and it worked really well!

Also spoke to the guy about that black E63, that could be worth a look.

Have you driven one? A guy on here had one and said how boring it was and that in real life you might as well have the 3.0 petrol a6 and save the fuel.
