My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i Alpine White Saddle Brown Interior (Gone, but not forgotten) :'( 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE Black/Tan
Default

My last post was about how I lost my E60 to an accident that happened on the highway which involved 12 cars and my car had the least damage compared to the other cars involved... Even though the chassis was broken and most of the front was gone except for the engine but the car unfortunately isn't repairable and is now considered as scrap, So I'm looking for a decent replacement even though I miss my baby soo much And I need your guys advice on my new replacement. I'm considering either the 2012 M3 Coupe Competition package Special Orange paint (490) or the new 650i Coupe Let me know what you guys think

I know, but the new M3 won't be a naturally aspirated V8, instead the new one will be a Bi-Turbo V6 instead. Like the new M5 it has the new V8 instead of the previous V10. I'm mostly considering the new 6 though

Sorry to hear that - glad that you were okay. I know it might be sacrilege but what about a new MB CLS - with the V8 that car is getting great reviews and looks unique. Or since you are in Kuwait what about an Alpina?
