M5/M6 or ActiveHybrid 5 and AM Vantage

Hello everyone. I am new and hope you can help me with a decision. Its actually a very strange one, but circumstances are making such that the 2 choices I have are as follows: I am trying to decide on a new car or new cars. Either an M5/M6 new. Or a combo or a Active Hybrid 5 and a V8 Vantage. The Hybrid I would probably drive 5/6 days a week and the Vantage only 1-2 times a week.

One one hand the M cars are the best everyday cars and just excellent all-around. On the other, I would be able to get a dream car in the vantage but potentially be spending most of my time driving the hybrid.

Would very much appreciate any thoughts or advice/experiences.

thanks! thanks!

Thanks! You guys are great! and funny too! Maverick to answer your question, at this point I can't justify (I'm not comfortable) driving such a "flashy" car to my office without feeling like I am showing off that I've been bringing in more $$ than others. I'm looking to get into a new AM, but even an older AM is just that much more of a statement that a BMW that happens to be an M.

Have you guys had similar experiences or thoughts/worries?

thanks!

Maverick,
Thanks for your thoughts -- I totally agree. I've had what I believe are "understated" M cars for the past 6-7 years -- in California, BMWs are the norm. The AM is indeed a rare car -- a statement that definitely turns heads. I'm going to think through what it would mean to drive an AM to work everyday...

Excellent to hear that you get lots of positive reactions to your AM!
