I went from a v6 accord to an e90 330i to an e60 550i. So far I love the e60 far more than I did my e90. The 550i doesnt seem as nimble but its pretty damn close to the e90 in terms of handling but with far more power.
It all really depends on what sort of drive you are wanting. Personally, I was looking towards Subaru STi or Legacy GT spec B. Both those subies are freaking fast and will blow the doors of most BMW's(M's excluded). I have a bunch of friends who are into tuning subaru's and I must say, if you want a fun car, you can't go wrong with a Subaru.
If you want some great excitement and loads of customization that won't break the bank, I would suggest you go drive an STi. It's a different class of car than the e60 but I don't think you will regret it.
I think I am right in considering the e60 as a luxury car but if I could choose a weekend driver, I would get a roadster like the s2000 or a subaru. They may be "cheaper" japanese cars but they are loads of fun to drive.
335 will be an awesome car(it's actually the reason I sold my 06 e90) but if you want to try something different, don't go with the CLS if its not one of the amg's. I drove a few CLS 500's before i picked the e60 and I must say it's a damn sexy car but I would pick my 550i over it any day. The thing has a huge blind spot and felt like I was driving a boat.

I'm personally thinking of a CLS 55 which (talking about customizations/after market) would surpass it's successor, the CLS 63, with a pulley upgrade and ECU remap. Perhaps lighter mufflers and wheels to round it off.

Sorry but I will never get bored with my sexy 2nd wife until the f10 come out. 
I love to feel it, hug it, rub it, sexy it basicly I I can take it to bed with me I will.
If you are bored then mod it get a supercharge, put a tubro in it, boos it up to 800hp like the jap.
or better still get a M% and mod it so itis 1000hp. then you will never be bored with it.

My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
I was suddenly bored of my last E560 530d when I clapped eyes on a 535d M Sport so I bought one. Now I can't stop smiling especially since the DMS. Not much out there that can touch it apart from the exotics of course.
If I did change it would be for a diesel Porsche - if they ever do one
