which one should I buy guys.

Hi guys, I am going to buy a new car soon but I rly cant decide which one should I choose, so I hope gr8 people here could help me make a decision. This will be a long post, but i rly with to have some good suggestion, so thx for ur patience.

let me introduce myself for a bit, Im 24 and just get married last year, my first child is coming in June, and I currently own a Golf GTI. Im currently working in the family company, annual income is not very stable but good enough to afford those cars.

my choices of cars is below,(price is in CNY "chinese yuan", just give u an idea of number)

Bmw 335i xdrive (official price 660k, dealer price 620k-630k)
Audi S5 coupe (official price 750k, dealer price 650k-680k)
Bmw 1m coupe (OP 590k, DP 590k)
Bmw m135i (OP 490K, DP unknow)
Bmw X3 35i (OP 710K, DP 690k-700k)

so those 5 are my choices, but here are some problem,

335i is most balanced between performance/practicality, but the price performance ratio is low because a basic 535i sedan will cost about 660K also (btw a basic Audi A6 2.0T is only about 400k).

1m coupe is a bit too small, I like the performance and the limited number (only 418 in China), but i wonder if the boot is big enough for a pushchair and some bags so i can take my wife and baby out. The good news is the performance is just so good, so I will not worry about price.

X3 is best on most aspect except driving performance, and the price is a bit high.

m135i is just a improve performance version of GTI in my point of view, even thought I like the performance, still, i am not likely to buy this one, or maybe i should buy another sedan to replace GTI, so i got different car.

S5 is cool, performance is fine, price is acceptable, but I just dont like it compare to BMWs.



OR, maybe I should just spend more to get a E90/92 M3, or C63 amg. since those car are sooo incredible, any weakness is forgettable, but the price of 1m CNY is a bit out of budget.

so which one would u choose in this case.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR UR REPLY!!
