Just a week after the sedan entered our world, the estate version is now here to tempt us in its own compromised way. Who says bringing your family along needs to be uncool?

Who says you can’t have a body kit on your estate and, more importantly, who says that estate can’t look really good with its new tweaked aesthetics.

AC Schnitzer will stick to the ACS3 naming of this versino of the car and they will use pretty much the same body kit and alloy wheel options.

The image is quite different but in terms of manufacturing it’s only the side skirts that must have given the German tuner a hard time.

Where we were also expecting some changes is in the interior, particularly the rear seat accommodations but that didn’t happen.

AC Schnitzer tell us they’re going to fit pretty much the same sort of kit and as in the sedan. There’s a lot of aluminium tweaks, better floor mats and the sort of stuff that grown-ups like.

In terms of engines there’s just nothing to set these cars apart. Much like the factory fresh F30 BMW 3 Series Touring, the power is the same.

Headlines see the 318d develop 171 hp, the 320d push 218 hp, whereas the 328i now has 294 hp and the 335i has the title with 360 hp.

That’s only partially true. If you’re going to think about it a little, you’ll remember that the new M5 will no longer be available as an estate.

If you want to carry more and still have a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the E61 model is the one you’ll be looking for.

Going further along that line of thought, you’ll find that the you might need to give Edo Competition tuning a phone so that they can bring it a bit up to date.

Taking a second look at the 5.0 liter V10 under the bonnet of the M5 Touring, Edo Competition have made a few modifications.

High-performance catalytic converters, high-flow air filters, a new exhaust system and a revised ECU unit make for a final output of 555 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque.

The torque may be less than the new car but with power you’re roughly there. A new set of 20 inch wheels and new Dunlop tires make sure you use all that power well.

The exterior is revised as well as the interior and non of them is restrained any more. Things are obvious, you’re driving an Evo Competition BMW M5 Touring, not a diesel.

Still, the whole package is pretty impressive. That’s almost as impressive as knowing the speed limiter is removed and that you can go as high as 190 mph.
