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.

I am. What are those who are bored considering?
Otherwise, try a Porsche, and don't take anything less than a TT . . . bigger budget of course.

I was thinking E63 but there arent any good offers going on. Theres a good one for the E65 but I dunno. Anyone hear of any good E63 lease offers?
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.

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.

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
