Next Car... always planning ahead!

pmheadwired · 05-05-2014, 02:20 PM

So guys.. what you thinking about for your next ride?

I am loving my 330 but always thinking ahead ... considering next time round either a 435d M Sport LCI or the new 5 Series... Depending on my job travelling requirements for the next change if I could go petrol thinking about a Porsche Cayman... plenty of options but I love BMW's so unless something special comes along soon it will prob be another beemer.

Anyone else planning for the next move already?

AtlantaDude · 05-05-2014, 02:22 PM

Oh yeah... I plan on going from my E92 to the new M2....... which gives me a few more years to get ready for it..

pmheadwired · 05-05-2014, 02:25 PM

Actually was seriously thinking how awesome the M2 will be ... M4 would be my preference though if I could justify the cash.

Tengocity · 05-05-2014, 02:25 PM

E92 M3 to replace the Z4 in next year or so. 335d tourer will be with us for 5 or 6 years so will be a while till I think what replaces it.

ewanmac · 05-05-2014, 02:27 PM

M3, 435 GC, used 640 GC. Left field ideas - Porsche Macan or Maserati Ghibli.

AtlantaDude · 05-05-2014, 02:28 PM

The M2 should be amazing. I prefer slightly smaller cars. If I want a boat, I'll get a truck. That's the only reason I don't like the 4er.... Too damn big now. The M2, should be a riot

Agree I think the M2 (assuming it does come out) will be awesome, small light nice looking etc.

One of the things I think may make it even more popular will be if it is priced in the 30/40 k mark.

That would make it more desirable and affordable to more people.

I would seriously consider one.

430d GC is on my radar. Would love one.

Realistically I think my next will be 435 M sport LCI (would wait for the LCI) or 530 M Sport next generation

gtsussex · 05-05-2014, 02:56 PM

Everyone else could bore you senseless of my mood swings but for now it's sorted.

Keeping the 335d and 'resolving it' and buying an E92 M3 Conv (at some point when right one cones along..... although wife may change her mind - she's boss in roofless dept).

happycow6171 · 05-05-2014, 02:58 PM

Well having changed the car 7 times in 2 years I'm taking a well earned rest!!!!!.

rjberry · 05-05-2014, 03:02 PM

I'm still trying to convince myself not to get an M6 GC.

Enough room for the kids in the back, a pushchair in the boot and plenty of horses under the bonnet too. What's not to like?

JustChris · 05-05-2014, 03:09 PM

M2 will be a classic I think. However if it's realistic for you and the 2 seats I wouldn't look past the Cayman you mentioned. Different class of finish and mid engine rear wheel drive heaven

Agree it's a beast...but what's not to like....£98,125 price for me!

matk · 05-05-2014, 03:15 PM

E92 M3 for me to go with my F31, the kids will be around for a while so the F31 IMO is the best car out there for a small family be keeping that and having the last of the V8 M3's for me.

My thoughts exactly... I figure that in 6-12 months the values of the e92 M3s will soften with folk trading in for the new one. Or perhaps wishful thinking!

Just me the missus and our dog.
So the estate and a me n her car (for her).

Need to get back to the big car n little car setup again.

While M3 is great, just bit big for the other car, so 2 series fits in very well.

Just have to wait for some good discounts.

teaston · 05-05-2014, 04:04 PM

Don't what model i'll get, but i know what badge it'll have on the bonnet!

BMWSKI · 05-05-2014, 05:20 PM

SQ5 maybe???

dazzapb · 05-05-2014, 05:25 PM

I have three years to decide but so far love the 335d so much I am not sure how to replace her. If TRL can do a good deal then M3 but hope to have little sprogs by then!

UK_ · 05-05-2014, 05:59 PM

Already succumbed to M4 convertible. Maybe rash and ill judged but I'll enjoy finding out!
