Contemplating a 135i, unsure on year, price will determine that.
Just need to ask a few questions before I get too far into liking them.

Finished with the e89 lease I would take a 228i convertible lease if they offer it cheap.

If the lease rates are very good a M4 convertible. I can make the Feb 2015 lease rates for the M3 work, but M4 'vert was not good enough.

Otherwise I probably go with 2 cars, maybe a W211 diesel and a e89 or e34 'vert. E39 wagon instead of W211 could be.

It is too bad that they did not make the equivalent to the e39 M5 as a convertible. The e63 might be too wild for me.

I'm finding I just don't use all the power of the M235 and I miss having a hatchback sometimes, too

Im in a similar boat. Thinking really hard about the M2, but I find myself looking at RX7s on craigslist every day. May just pull the trigger on another RX7 and pick up a GTI/Golf R or Focus ST/RS as a daily.

Aside from the M2/GT350/Focus RS, I'm mildly entertaining the idea of this

I'm undecided, lol.

i really can't honestly think of anything i'd rather be driving as a DD....in pretty much any price range. every day it blows my mind!
I would like to own one of these but are just too damn pricey but realize thats one of those collector items where you just have to bite the bullet and pay to play if you want rareity! Lovely choice to drive everyday

So my current/recent transition has been from E30 325is to E46 M3 to CTS-V2 which im driving now.

Next car choice for me is really a dilemma of whether to go back to BMW (F80 M3) or stay American (C7 Vette).

My current car is a 2006 330i. Assuming $110k+ out of college, hopefully a lightly used FRS/BRZ that I can tune and truly make my own
