For me it will depend on the finances heavily, but ideally, I'd like to move toward a two-car garage - one would be a light sports car for weekend use (a used Boxster S or an E46 M3 SMG Coupe). Other car would be the DD, for which I'd really be deciding between an X6 and a 550i F10 (just NOT with the stock front bumper ).

But I'm not planning to get rid of the E60 for at least another year (maybe more), so I'm not really worried about what's next just yet.

Did you mean E Class Coupe?

I am not replacing my E60. Just add a new F02 740Li.

X5 35d. Not to replace my E60 but my wife's Acura MDX... I realized that we use her car 99% of the time if the family is going anywhere. I would enjoy driving an X5 rather than the MDX.

I was thinking the same thing for my wife, she wants either the X5 or the Porsche Cayenne to replace her Tribeca.

Very nice John, and honestly since you have kids, it makes more sense to get an SUV like the X5 or the Cayenne instead of the 7. My suggestion would be to lean more towards the X5 or maybe Range?

I've sat in my friends Cayenne Turbo and though its got the Porsche marque, it's not really the best car in that segment IMO. Plus, you really need to get the Cayenne Turbo or S because the base model may be a bit underpowered @ 250hp with it's 3.2 VR6. My friend was complaining about the poor quality of the interior on his 07' Cayenne S.

LOL I figured as much Melvin, the 7 series is her first choice since she likes the space in the rear and the long range of the gas tank (23 gal = ~500 miles). The X5 is her second choice because of the 7 passenger seating, which she likes because she HATES minivans like I do. The Porsche she likes a lot, but doesn't love it so it's choice 3 on the list.
I don;t care which one she wants as long as I get an M5

Trading our Q5, and upgrading to a Q7. Keeping my E60 as a commuter.
