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
