Long time BMW aficionado (since I bought my first, an 89 325is, been chasing the feeling that car gave me since).
I also love wagons. I drove a 528iT manual for a time. That was the perfect vehicle for an active lifestyle. Cavernous, low enough for a roof rack, drove like a sports sedan. Brilliant.
My opinion is that BMW makes fine cars that no longer have a sporting disposition at the top of their design requirements. I feel (as do others according to the World Wide Web) that this personality switch came after the e90 3 series.
Once again this is just my opinion based on my personal preferences.
