Upto £6k car suggestions
Discussion
My E39 M5 goes up for sale this weekend 
.
I need to replace it with a car that I can do 20k miles a year in and not be a diesel!
I will have upto £6k to spend and it needs to be interesting, have a decent turn of speed and try and do 30+ mpg.
I've considered the Mazda6 MPS, and the Saab 9-3 Aero 2.8t. Any other suggestions?
Sorry, I know it is another what car post!

E36 M3, 328i, E46 330i - all can do 30mpg, but mine rarely did!

Cheers, though the other cars with the exception of the E36 M3 (which a good one is North of £6k, and requires much much maintenance) aren't floating my boat.

I did consider one of these, but I discarded it as they're not that quick and very thirsty.
There's not much better than a 330 BMW but obviously you want something different.How about an Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 Ti?
Re the 330i, I agree they're cracking cars, but define not much better?
Re E60 - Only an M5 for me. The rest are a bit meh.

I like 159's, just not sure I could live with one

You're obviously a tough nut to crack Re the 330i, I agree they're cracking cars, but define not much better?

I just mean the 330 is generally a damn good car i.e. good at everything
I've heard the 159 is actually a fine car too, but I've never owned one to back that claim up. Look at it though...

Oh the 159 is a fantastic looking car. I like the face lifted 166 as well.

king crap? Really, imagine coming from an M5 and getting into a diesel!

Depends what your circumstances are, when I did 30k miles a year, I bought an Octavia VRS Tdi out of necessity. 50 mpg and could overtake.king crap? Really, imagine coming from an M5 and getting into a diesel! Now I don't but I've kept it for the 6 hour round trip to pick my nipper up.
I've just bought an E46 M3 for weekends, trackdays and the Ring...

God, that car still looks better than anything else in its class. The new Giulia has a lot to live up to. And getting 30+mpg out of a 6MPS should prove interesting. Low 20s is the norm.I just mean the 330 is generally a damn good car i.e. good at everything

I think about it weighing too much and being old... and then I see a photo like that and still want one. I just mean the 330 is generally a damn good car i.e. good at everything
