[BMWM3DREAM]

I am just curious to see what you all think are some possibilties for your next car if it is not going to be a BMW anymore. Please list the car you have now and maybe the reason you will not keep it after the lease or if you are the owner and are planning on selling it soon. Maybe you can state why you may not keep your car.

I have a 2008 335i coupe. I will probably not keep it beyond the lease because I really dislike the color which is sparkling graphite, the lack of a spare tire and the harsh ride especially on bad pavement. The list of possibilities may be Audi A4 / S4, Audi A6, current body of the 535i. Very distant possibilities may be used cars such as a 650i, Mercedes CLS 55 AMG, or an E 55 AMG for now. For right now given my poor economic status this possibilities are well beyond my reach. Much more realistic possibiities may include a Toyota Camry or a GS 350.

On the other hand, I'm even considering getting rid of the E30 and getting a Mercedes CLK.

dont get rid of the e30, you'll kick yourself. I love having an "old" car that looks good, is easy to work on, etc.

keep the e30 and pick up a cts-v when you can get one 2 years old and save a bunch of a cash.

[flyinb501]

Probably a G35, due to bad economic times...

Z06

[Memphis1]

hopefully when i get bored with my Z, something to catch my attention will be out.

The E30 is such a PITA. I know I'll kick myself if I get rid of it, but it constantly needs something fixed. Right now I need two interior pieces and new seats, need to install an adjustable camber kit so my front passenger tire gets more than 5k per tire, and need to adjust the timing chain. Once all that is done, I need some body work done to it, possibly replacing the entire front end.

I've dropped $7,000 into the E30 (originally bought it for $5k so... $12k!?) so it seems like a money pit. For all of that I saw get rid of it, but I've owned it for 4 1/2 years now and put 75k miles on the clock and still love it... ugh.


As far as the CTS-V, I wonder how long it will be until they drop into my price range....

[JoosyJoos]

Haha thats funny... I want to buy either an E30 or E36 as a track car. Probably keep my 335i a while and then check out the M1

[03SG///M3]

Probably the X1.

[MShao825]

RS5

[Schumacher]

Cayman S

[RambleJ]

535 while they still have the N54 in them! I have to hurry!

[Muffnbluff]

Definitely an F30 M3, assuming they bring the next M3 back in sedan form.

[Seminole]

So far, one of the following:

Dodge Challenger R/T
Land Rover LR2
Audi Q5
VW GTI

Depends on my budget and if I want to move up to an SUV. But man am I digging the Challenger...
