Hi,

I've owned my M3 since new, 2004, and love it to pieces, it's just a
fantastic car.  However recently I've been thinking it's slightly dated and
all the new models look much better inside and out.

But what do I change it for?  I can't afford an M5 or 6, I like the 650i
Sport but it's the top end of what I'd pay and the performance isn't as good
as my M3.

I know the new E90 M3 is due in the UK at the end of next year but I don't
know if I can wait that long, would be nice to own one of the first
though...

Cheers

Daz

Two year old car 'dated'?  How do you think a replacement will look when the
new model comes out?

FWIW stop messing about and buy an M5, even if it isn't brand new.

Pre-order your E90 M3 as soon as you can and excercise some restraint.
Whatever car you buy (excluding old classics), there will always be a
better newer model of something tempting within a year or two.

Had the same debate myself a few weeks back but with the added complication
of wanting to consolidate my existing vehicles into one, so it needs to be
4x4 and able to tow a coupld of tonnes, it needs to be a practical family
car, be able to carry big wet dog and be fun to drive.

The only things that got close were an Audi RS4 or RS6 but I know they won't
be as much fun as the M3.

How many seats? Does it need a boot?

Porsche 996 Carrera S? Fezza 360? AMG Merc or SL55? TVR? Noble?

In the end I've come to the conclusion I need a pactical load lugger/dog
car, a comfortable family car for everyday use and a fun car for recreation.
So

You don't deserve what you've got.

"slightly dated".  Sheesh.

Heh - classic troll post. "New models"?
Last I checked, the new 3 coupe & M3 aren't on sale yet.
Muppet.

Not at all obvious, then the OP said the most he can pay is
650i-level, which isn't enough for a 911, I don't believe.

No, I meant you just did "look back"...
