£15k, needs to be quick, preferably a V8 / V10

[TheAngryDog]

What are my options? Not so worried about a manual gearbox, car will be used for a year or 2, but needs to be quick, interesting, sound good, a V8 is preferred but a 6 with forced induction may be ok.

This is to replace my E39 M5 which I know as a standard can be hard to replace.

Go!

Thanks.

What sort of car are you looking for? Big powerful estate, sports car, four doors, five doors ... ?

[TheAngryDog]

i prefer saloon's, but open to options.

No estates or convertibles though

Well I'll be the first to give the obvious answer: VXR8...

Would a V10 work...

Audi S6 or S8

Why don't you get a newer m5?

[cheddar]

If it's a V10 I'm sure you already know that for 15k you're limited to an Audi S6/RS6/S8 or BMW M5/M6 - although this being PH someone will probably chime in that Turkmenistan manufacturer Satsuma Kwangobango produced a limited run of V10 saloons in early 2010

Going V8 broadens your options massively

What about a W211 E55? Supercharged V8.

You could just about squeeze into an XFR for that price:
