Ok, we leased a 2008 528i and loved it. So when I needed a 2nd car, we purchased a CPO 550i.
My lease is up later this year on the 528i and I do not need two E60s. Sooooooooo....decisions on what to replace it with?
Since the 550i is a fairly roomy family car and great for trips etc...I think the 2nd car doesnt have to be as 'roomy' and could be a coupe, but needs to be a 2+2
For BMW I was thinking 3-series of course...and maybe convertible, but they seem to be asking a MINT for the verts and not good lease deals, at least at this time. I have a rental 335i right now and it is nice, but obviously not nearly as smooth/luxurious as the e60. M3 is too much $$$
I dont think they have CPO M3s, correct?
I was at Audi today and really like the S5 but it is pricey as they dont have good finance or lease deals. The A4 vert seems nice but I think they will all be gone before I need to replace the 528i. The new A4 seems roomier than the 3-series and more luxurious, but havent driven it. They mentioned they are coming out with a A5 vert this August..but I am sure they wont offer deals on that. The TT coupe backseat seems too small..
Stopped by Lexus and nothing stirs me....maybe an IS-F but too much $ and maintenance cost.
Mercedes is discontiuing the CLK coupe and vert...so you can get good deals I have heard, but havent driven it. C class seems ok and would be considered.
Cadillac has the CTS...but, I dont know...maybe the CTS-V but, again, $$$
other thoughts? I probably need to nail down a budget. I would probably lease (unless I buy used) and would want the payment <$600 as my 528i payment is in that range now.

ok serious time....since your keeping the amazing alpine white 550 it would only make sense to get an alpine white 335i coupe. That little combo would be so perfect...550 with the family 335 for fun on the weekends.
