Probably not. Only if the market demands it. i.e. if there will be an RS4 Avant and it is selling like hot cakes.

Last time I heard that all 3 Series will be 3 Series only. And no more "4 Series". That's good, keep it nice and simple.

But at the same time, why they did change the naming scheme to Z4 instead of the just being a second generation Z3.

Originally it was going to be even # = Sedan/Saloon/Touring and odd # = Coupe/Convertible.

Undoubtably, there'll be an RS4 Avant...supposed to be revealed at Frankfurt IAA. Audi performance Avants always sell anyways. I don't think I can say the same for BMW wagons.

^ I know. . . and I was just being sacrastic to a point. All these technological advances aways tend to take a bit away from the driver and the overall driving experience.
