Wagons are the GCFSB car of choice, if you haven’t noticed. Only our resident Volkswagen/Audi guru Carter is flying the five-door flag, however, with his 2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Variant 5-speed manual. While I sit here and wait for the perfect 1995 Audi S6 Avant to come along, I’ll admire this 2002 BMW 540i Touring for sale in Portland, Oregon. It looks like a real beast, and with Dinan engine mods and a worked over suspension, it’s almost like the M5 Touring that never was.

The E39 5 series was one of my all time favorites when it comes to estate cars. Sure, it’s easy to like a car that was based off an already good looking sedan, but the Touring, especially with some performance modifications like this example, had a very bespoke look about it. Performance add-ons can be a plus or minus when it comes to used cars, but given the condition of this car considering the mileage, it looks to be well looked after. A 5 series Touring with the V8 should pull somewhere in the $8,000 to $10,000 range, perhaps a little bit more if the right buyer comes along. For me, this car is the perfect solution to hunt down those beefed up SUVs dominating the road these days.

as they did not make an E39 M5 touring this is as good as it gets!
and the torque of a V8…nicely done
Just picked up an 02 S6 Avant yesterday… second Audi Avant I’ve owned… love em!
