Autoblog reports BMW may send this sport family hauler to our shores
...Autoblog has learned that the possibility of the wagon making a reappearance on U.S. soil is back on the table. While sales of the 5 Series GT haven't been particularly robust, the model has managed to outsell the previous 5 Series Touring since its arrival last year – this, despite its lukewarm reception and controversial appearance.
We've also been informed that the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 currently fitted to the 760Li won't shuffle off this mortal coil anytime soon. Instead, BMW is considering fitting the massive mill with its ActiveHybrid system to boost fuel economy and performance. We could see this electrically augmented 12-cylinder unit within the next three years in both the 7 Series flagship and future Rolls-Royce vehicles.

5 series wagon would be interesting to me. This (5 wagon) with a diesel would get me to go to the dealer to check it out. This (5 wagon diesel) from their motorsports division would likely get me to be really serious about looking at it. And this (M5diesel wagon) with 4WD, would get me to drop off a deposit and my audi wagon in trade. Just saying it could be an awesome daily......
