£40-45K Budget. Which Car?

[Andrew911]

Currently in a 997.1 Turbo - low miles car in superb condition. Also a daily drive - only 5 miles to work/back home. I may have to come out of the 997 to release some cash & will be looking for a 'nice daily' to run for the next 2-3 years. My wifey has a Disco 4 so don't need anything too practical. I have had quite a lot of Porsche's & thinking maybe something different although have considered a 981 Cayman S but maybe a tad low on power. My budget will get me into a RS5 (outgoing model), M4, M6 (current model), 981 Cayman S & just about an F-Type. I don't particularly need four seats; but occasionally would come in handy. The F-Type has virtually no boot though. I quite like the idea of four wheel drive as have to navigate icy country lanes but have done this previously in a 320d. Which brings me onto the last beemer I had was a 320d (2011 model i think) which i found so boring to drive & absolutely no character. I'am sure the M-power cars are totally different. Interested to hear your views.

Thanks for the advice - all sounds good. I am hoping i don't need to jump out of the 997 turbo for a while.

Sounds like stretching to a CP M4 would be worth it. Of the cars I have listed as suggestions I am leaning towards the M4. I'am guessing the M4 CP will hold its value better? I hate losing too much on cars; which why i have had so many porkers.

Really not sure about the M2 styling tbh. Much prefer the M4 styling & the M2's interior doesn't look that special.

Thoughts on a C63 AMG 507 Edition Coupe? Rare'ish - looks like it will be a classic, has black edition looks, 500 horses & within budget. But bloomin thirsty. I average 20mpg with the 997 turbo; think the C63 AMG 507 would be around 15mpg.
