And do you know what? It wouldn't.
Question is, what would do all the things you want and make you get up early on a Sunday morning just to go for a hoon; probably not too many cars out there that would fulfil all the criteria?!

Possibly a B3S Touring or C63 estate but, much as I'd love either as a daily driver, I'm not sure I'd get up early just to take one of those for a hoon; think I'd need something more like a Caterham or Elise to tempt me to do that....
I think that's a very good point, and a question that I've been unable to find an answer to through one car alone.
I just wish that BMW made more performance oriented estate cars than they do.
