Congrats on a lovely spec, you said your trying not to mod but a set of bronze 1000M wheels & a CSL style grille would finish it off very nicely. 👍

So good to see more purple wagons in Aus! Great colour. Mine will be added to the list next year!

Dig the individual color. I still don’t understand station wagons, but that’s just me. Gorgeous color though.

It would be much easier if my kids were a little taller

My eldest doesn't legally need a booster but she is very short for her age.

Wagons do drive better than SUVs, my brother with an X5M even commented how much better the ride and handling was in the touring.

Plus they are just big hatchbacks and I have always liked hatchbacks.
My M140i was especially good.

Why exactly do you think it's 20k more? Touring is exactly €1k more than the sedan in Germany...
You guys are so lucky getting cars half price

Nice looking estate. Proper dad wagon.

I agree. Don’t modify it. Just change the wheels to something silver concave with wider spokes to allow you clean the barrel when washing. Oh and window tints for the executives in the rear seats

It actually has tints, 70%
I'm a bit over dark tints, it's nice to be able to see the interior from the outside and see out at night.

You’ve reminded me I need to book my G81 in for the darkest legal tint next week

Your G81 looks terrific! I would have loved to go for a wicked blue for mine, but I needed stealth black as mine will be earning its keep as a camera car.

That's because the government incentivizes large SUV's due to the way CAFE is written. It's so, SO dumb. If large SUV's weren't so cheap and easy to get, manufacturers would have continued to push wagon development, we'd have more choices, and they'd be more popular.

Plus, now that I don't live on the East Coast any more, I can understand why full boat SUV's are popular. You rarely have to make turns at speed so the handling trade offs are worth it for the available space, in a way. Plus the parking lots are huge.

Got some photos from the detailer after they put paint protection film on it.

Going to try and not modify this one but we'll see how that goes.
Daytona is a stunning colour and your G81 looks great!

We do some great subtle OEM+ mods, that might help satisfy the modifying itch without making it too modified 😇
