Option A: buy whatever new manual wagon is available, deal with new car bullshit to include ridiculously complex sub-systems under warranty, freak out and sell when it acts up just before or just after it's out of warranty. Repeat.
Option B: buy old manual wagon, deal with old car bullshit, possibly through restomodding, it'll break and act up but may be simpler/cheaper to fix. Live with.
I think you should buy/build a E46 M3 330 ZHP //whatever wagon. On a long enough timeline, it has to eventually get 100% sorted and "bulletproof", right? I may just be naïve as I merely adopted the idea of living with a BMW, you were born in it, molded by it.
