I checked many possibilities but all have in a direction or another some bigger compromises
- X3M

The SUV types seem to be a bit counterintuitive in the sense that you'd be better off going to the track in bigger sedan that an SUV. The other have potential but the consummabales have to be considered and will it be fun ? + price vs an M3/X3M/Macan GTS..
Hell even a touring M340i would satisfy me 100% it's a shame...
Any thoughts/ideas/experience ?
EDIT: Started looking into the new M440i Gran Coupe and hatch space could be doable.

We have had M3s and an X5 M. We just got our first ever Mercedes- a S213 (wagon) E 63 S. WOW. The sound, speed and handling is next level from an X5 M. The X5 M is fantastic for an SUV, but the E 63 S Wagon is in a different class. We had to step out of the BMW family, because BMW does not offer a high performance wagon here in America.
