I'd definitely have a 5 series estate. Irritatingly they don't import the bloody things here - I've had a go in a 2012 550i and the engine is mightily impressive. Would make a great estate car.
Don't know about the maintenance being cheaper though. We manage to spend around USD2.5k a year on a 05 330 and that's an old tractor by comparison.
