I spent many hours on the nightshift deliberating my next car , my criteria was :

6 - 12 months old, as i wanted a factory warranty.
Coupe , no need for a four door anymore plus they look nicer.
£20K + my £10K trade-in.
RWD
5s to 60 , ish.

640d, too big plus i didn`t want another diesel.

C / E AMG too expensive for one less than a year old.

S5 , didnt fancy a FWD or the complexities of the 4WD models.

Porsche , never really fancied one , plus too pricey.

370Z , good car by all accounts but a bit too "young" for a chap in their 50`s.

So , by default , the F32 was the one to go for and i have been happy with my first BMW ownership over the last six months , unfortunately my wallet has taken a battering with purchasing the MPPSK , spoilers , all the carbon / alcantara interior bits inc. steering wheel.

Compared to my last car , CLS 350 Grand Edition the F32 has inferior build quality but in every other aspect it leaves the W219 in the dark ages which is only to be expected due to their age difference.

The problem is what to buy next so i think i will keep the F32 and buy another toy , possibly a SWB Shogun for running around in.

My only criticism is that the front seat base is a little too narrow , more to do with my size than the seats dimensions.
