What is your next car?

S.BMW23 · 03-10-2018, 09:57 AM

I have a 340i m sport with a year and half left on a lease and a 2016 is350 f sport that is about finished here about 7 months. Here are some options below.
1. 540i m sport
2. C43 Amg sedan
3. X5 m sport. Only issue is the new model is coming and the lease will be crazy.

What do you think your next car will be?

bmwchue · 03-10-2018, 10:19 AM

Maybe 2018 m5 or the new supra when available

X2 Monstah · 03-10-2018, 10:20 AM

I'm thinking about the Audi A5/S5 Sportback. But, I'm not sure if I want to leave BMW. I did that once; went to Mercedes after an E92. Kept it for a year and traded it in on an F30. I haven't done a whole lot of research on the Audi yet.

bimmer456 · 03-10-2018, 10:21 AM

i8 roadster/convertible

Not sure I can move from BMW either once I give up the 340i. Just like the tech in the audis better.

Grab an X3 M40i. I am so impressed by my ex's X3 30i. It would be crazy with 355hp

New m5 is amazing.

435iFanatiker · 03-10-2018, 10:33 AM

Considering trading into an M4, or maybe a C63.

Job will be taking me out of the country at long stretches for the foreseeable future though, so I'm not sure I want to have a car just sitting at home for months on end.

Same here. It’s that or a Macan S

bri1042 · 03-10-2018, 11:08 AM

I honestly have no idea. 12 lease payments left, and with order times on various cars mapped out, I have 5 months or so to figure it out. The C43 was, probably, too close to the same car I'm already driving to be worth the extra money Merc charges. All of the BMW's I want (M340i, M550i, M3) will be unavailable or about to hit LCI when my lease is up. I lose options I like on the M240i and the M2. I don't trust Alfa. The Audi's don't inspire an emotional response for me.

I was in a rut of not being happy with my car for a bit, but that's passed. I'm still tempted to buy it out, throw the MPPSK on it, and drive it till it dies. Mostly to avoid having to make a decision. If Trump's trade-war results in German car tariffs, that's exactly what I'll do.

In other words, I have no idea.

Logicoeur · 03-10-2018, 11:23 AM

Just traded a 12 Audi A6 with the V6 and supercharger so don't plan to move from this f30 BSM 335i for a while. Pretty fun to drive.

ONEof500 · 03-10-2018, 11:35 AM

The mppsk on the 340 would make you not look at a c43 at all. It is great.

That said at my 340 mppsk it’s time for an M3

RedKloud · 03-10-2018, 11:42 AM

? M340, S5, C43, 540i, new A6... so many options. For the first time I'm also considering an SUV: X3 40M.

The X3 40M and the Macan make me sorta of almost willing to look at an SUV...but I can't quite get there.

2000Z3M · 03-10-2018, 12:41 PM

me, no clue something with a manual. might get a e36/7 m roadster, likely a s52 so i can twin screw it!

wife, some big ass suv

DrifterX · 03-10-2018, 02:00 PM

Hoping to replace our hybrid with a nice electric SUV in a few years

Hoping to see more of them on the market soon.

I'm keeping the 340i for a loooong time - puts a smile on my face every time I drive her

ooshnoo · 03-10-2018, 02:04 PM

I'll stick with another F32

5ilver-5amurai · 03-10-2018, 02:27 PM

I've been an SUV man my entire life except the past few years. It would be great to get back in to a vehicle that has more utility, and one that I don't have to worry about bottoming out in on Toronto's garbage roads. I'm also getting pretty fed up with having every A4 try to race me at every red light....not sure how much of that last one will change since 90% of Audi drivers seem to have some internal inferiority complex lol

been looking into buying a certified 428i m-sport , rc350 or an A5

As a current owner of a Lexus and former owner of an e39 I have to say the build quality of the Lexus IS better then my experience with the e39.

But, my heart is set on a white/red m-sport based on pure aesthetics.

I have to say that the f36 is growing on me though.....

Top choice

F36 is absolutely phenomenal car ... test drive it if you haven't done so already.

S.BMW23 · 03-10-2018, 07:10 PM

s5 sport back looks amazing imo. I love the tech and stance of the car. Personally the 340i is such a pleasure to drive not sure I'm going to like to go to anything else. Ill have to test drive these cars.

I would not go with rc350. Is slower and heavier than the is350 I have. It looks good but other than that the tech is old.
