987 generation Cayman is also tempting. Supposedly Porsche left a lot on the table for the engine to keep it worse than the 911. And then there is always the 997 GT3 before they ruined it with the 991.

There are just so many good cars to choose from in the past few years but I would either have to go with the CTS-V Wagon (6 spd) or find a Boss 302 since they're not made anymore.

Really want a 997 Carrera S but its not as quick in a straight line as the 135i..
I have been feeling the inch for something more vintage instead...

2 gran coupe if it materializes
My son's gonna sell the 135i and EvoVIII and buy a Gt-R. So in the not too distant future if any one wants to buy a stock 05 Evo or 09-135i, never modded nor abused, I'll let ya know when it gets closer. Last edited by m981addicts; 04-28-2013 at 09:43 AM.. |

Probably not a BMW since NONE of the new and future models excite me (4 turbo, electric numb steering), purchasing my lease and probably keeping my 128i as long as it does not cost me an arm and a leg to maintain (had zero problem with this one). Only excitement for me so far : a new Corvette C7

M235i or M4 or ATS-V. If the ATS-V is 500hp/500tq, it's gonna be very appealing...
Edit: The lack of DCT may be a deal-breaker on the M235i. I need a robot assistant in many aspects of my life...most critical is making those wicked upshifts......

Don't blame you.....
I had a passenger ride in a C63 Black series with a MB pro driver around their test track at MB World in the UK last weekend, and oh my.......what a beast 'Normal' AMG C63 was an understeery tyre squeeler on the same track, but the Black was astonishing.......front end grip was immense, as was the ability to change direction for such a big car..........oh and the brakes were equally immense. The explosions from the exhaust on upshifts at WOT was just giggle inducing Still didn't like the interior that much....but, I could live with it for the rest of the package As for a replacement for the 135......... I haven't a clue as yet. I will be keeping it for at least another 3 years minimum, maybe longer, as there's nothing from BMW on the horizon that is making me think about changing it.

Was the ride in the black the typical black series kidney abuse? C63 has always been a fun car to watch.
My list? It really depends on my values and wants in a few years. Boxster s, spyder if they release another 991 carrera gts (you know it is coming) cls63 M6 coupe....maybe vert. It is a silly, but sexy car in so many ways. Too bad the cls63 somehow outperforms it. There is a crazy outside chance I might go land rover. I'd likely lose my mind not having something more nimble, though--hence the p cars.

This is a potential option for me as well for next car, but questionable for similar reasons. However, I'm getting on a bit, and sometimes do have the occasional undignified entry/exit from the 135, so the real possibility of needing a higher driving position car in 3/4 years time is quite high. The trouble is, here in the UK, that would mean having to own a diesel

Well as I see it, you should go big...motor that is! A big V8 will be a thing of the past soon, the BMW inline 6 is fantastic and because it is they will have that available forever.
I'd like to run a big euro V8 M3 or the C63 something along that line is the weapon of choice in my future I think. |
