So the Evo is better on *good* roads then?

BMW have been making perfromance estates for longer than Audi. The mk 2 M5 was available as a 'touring' - but LHD only
and the new M3 & M5 will be available as a touring 'within 12 months'

Thanks Gary, perhaps I should have qualified that I want a RHD performance estate. Besides the M5 is a bit out of my price range :-(
Maybe BMW will do an M3 Touring but maybe not. I can't afford to wait.
Besides, the UK is no longer a place to have such a car as zero tolerance of speeding is already upon us. Better to have a car with lots of low-rev torque instead...
