I think I may be bored as well. My lease is up in less than 90 days and I'm considering the Audi S6...the E60 is a great car but it's missing on hooking my like my previous E36 M3 Sedan or my current SL55.

If you're on a financial constraint, I'd go for a toyota, nissan, ford, or GM midsize sedan. Drive it for a while, then drive your e60 again. You'll enjoy it. Otherwise, try a Porsche, and don't take anything less than a TT . . . bigger budget of course.

Funny you should mention the E63. I was just reading about that too. Since you're considering this over an M5 I'm assuming that you are just bored with the e60 appearance. Fair enough.
If that's the case, consider looking into an E550 with the AMG package. The new 5.5L motor gets you 382hp and 391lb-ft. With the money you save get custom wheels, better tires, and a lowering module.

Here are some different ideas I've been throwing around for next year:
CLS 55 (pre-owned)
RS4
911 Carrera S
e90 M3
M5

One thing that would bug me is investing in a new car then have the next-newer body shape come out for that car within a year or two. Keep that in mind if you're like that too. At least with a P car, most people can't even tell. They'll just think you modified your headlights.

I really dislike mercedes these days but I will admit I do like the CLS. However ive seen some new C Class designs and they look very similar if not better than the CLS. That might discourage me when some 18yr old has a C240 with the look at under 30k.

Porsche is always nice but almost 90k for something that looks like a Cayman doesnt sound smart to me, I rather go M5/650cab route. (I do love that cayman so much though)

Im just bored of the look of the E60 I guess I dont know
