I'm in a weird situation. Stereotypically, the wife tries to talk the husband out of spending a fortune on a car, but I'm in the opposite situation. She says I should get either an M6 convertible or a Porsche 997 Turbo. I think I should get a cheap and cheerful Mark 5 Golf GTi for under $10k. It seems really dumb that I have an expensive car when I work from home and most weeks don't even reach 50 miles. So I figure I should get something that's comfortable, has a bit of power, air-con and isn't an embarrassment. A Golf GTi seems to fit the bill nicely. Plus I don't want to be the last person trying to sell a petrol V8 when everyone's switched to 50mpg diesels, hybrids and electric cars.
Every time I do drive my 545 though, my thoughts of selling it are reset and I change my mind again. Then when 3 or 4 days go by without driving it and I start thinking again of selling. Crazy flip flop world.

Seriously, go 997 Turbo. It will run circles around a M6 Vert.

I can't decide, I'm all over the map. However I have plenty of time to decide as my son starts college (private college) in September
Most recently researched include
Porsche Cayman
Alpina B7 (E65)
M3 - SMG (E46)
550i (2009=10)
S4 (V8 model)
X6 (don't need another SUV but they look BADDDDD in person)
911 Turbo (in my dreams)
Like I said I'm all over the map, I'm hoping my 545i lasts at least two more years. Just had the trans, diff, coolant and brake fluid changed. My E60 5er really meets all my needs and I drive an SUV in the winter so its like getting a new car every spring

I'm now on the fence on about the F10... Can't seem to get excited about it. That and my wife said I should get an M car!! 
Not sure I can justify an M but I am starting to play with M3 or E60 M5 ideas. We'll see...

I think the X turns more heads than the M.
