I love my car but the question that keeps bugging me is what do you change it for?

It will need to have four seats, be relatively discreet, fast (preferably faster than the M3) and handle brilliantly but apart from these criteria I'd be up for pretty much anything.

Thoughts?

My ideas are:

998 turbo (if I can afford it)
2011 M5
Facelifted Jaguar XFR (which should have nicer front lights)

Difficult one, when you do change let me know as I may want to go E92 come about August 2010. If I were you I`d be looking at the XFR. The 998 Turbo will be about double the price of the XFR and tens of thousand more than the new M5. Depends on how much of a rear seat as well as the 911 wont really accomodate lanky teenagers! Thought Aston DB9 or Ferrari 612? Both used of course.

612 is too fugly but DB9 is gorgeous and should definitely be considered. Not convinced the Aston would be loads better to drive than an M3, i had a go in a Vantage about earlier in the year and apart from the racy driving position it felt almost exactly like the M3 and even sounded similar. So might need to be a DBS? I too like the idea of an XFR but those front lights are hideous, so I'd want a facelifted version!

I'm in the same boat, I'll be changing my car in about a years time, which also co-insides with my 30th birthday so I'd love to change it for a sh supercar but realistically I can't because of work.

I want more excitement and exoticness but still in a relatively descreet package. Current thinking is a used clk63 amg black...

Porsche Panamera, Audi RS5? - both decent alternatives to the XFR. New M5?

If the 998 is really big enough for you, then what about an Evora?

Or keep your pennies in the piggy-bank and continue to enjoy the M3!
