We'll let you in on a little secret. Our favorite all-time BMW? No, not the ubiquitous-choice E39 M5. Rather, the almighty last generation M Coupe. Holy hell that is a sweet ride. Styled so that those who got it, got it; and if you didn't get it, well, bad stuff on you (see Spinelli — I can be urbane). Plus it had 315hp, wheels wider than your butt and weighed three-ounces. We mention this because those wacky Bavarians are reconfiguring the 1-Series and even though us Yanks will never see it, they are offering a shooting brake variant. Those of the Davey "Jerk" Johnson persuasion might twist up your faces and yell "Hatchback!" But I argue that anything with the rear-wheels driven and just three doors is sport wagon cum shooting brake. Especially the much rumored 300hp 135TI. BM to the W — can't we get a taste of this sweet candy? – Jonny Lieberman
