No Votes for the MBZ CLS 55? I honestly love the way this car looks compared to all the above, no benz love?

To be honest, I rarely have anybody in the back seats, just the passenger seat, I just like the 4-door sedan look, I do like coupes though may just get myself a coupe instead was thinking of the M6 over the M5 but I can't justify spending more $$$ for a car that is nearly the same as the M5 in terms of performance but I do like the way it looks. I go to college so you never know when I'm going to need those rear seats just in case me and some chick need some privacy

For a German two-seater, I would go with a Porsche Cayman S, because I like the way mid-engine cars handle. For a German four-seater, I would get an M3 coupe with a CF roof.

I love the way the Cayman S drives just not the way it looks . I also love the E9X M3's but their are at least a couple of them at my school and way too many of them in my area.

Definitely the Maserati is doable, but unfortunately if I were to get a BGT I probably wouldn't want to drive it daily since I tend to park in crowded parking lots where dings and scratches are likely going to happen.

The 911 is my all-time favorite car. I owned one before, and I'll own one again when the timing is right. I've been to Stuttgart and seen them made. There's just something special about those cars.
