Hi all,
2006 530i... last of the 3.0's! Well, my lease is up, and I am havign a hard time moving forward with the BMW brand. New 5 is not out yet, M3 is a gas guzzler, and 335i is nice, but a bit plain. Went on a driving spree of Porsche and might buy a Boxster or 911...
What are others moving on to after the love affair with the 5 series?

It depends if you are buying used or new. The 911 holds its value better than the Boxster or Cayman, so if buying new that would sway me to the 911. If buying used, the opposite is the case for me anyway. I like the looks of the Cayman better than the Boxster.
