The more I’ve looked and searched, the more I realize that a simple 7-series or S-class is probably plenty. |

I don't know what it is really. I was hoping that the M5 would have a KERS system by now but it doesn't. I figure this will be the last non-hybrid M5. |

While one is difficult to find and extremely popular at the moment a C8 Corvette should be in the equation. Another option would be a 2017 - 2018 Acura NSX. The McLaren 570S is a beautiful car and used ones can be purchased at a discount. You have to look at where the 570S can be services. One of my co-workers just purchased a Audi R8 over the 570S based on the location to get the vehicle serviced.
Before buying my F90 (now on 2 years of ownership) I considered buying a new 2018 Porsche 911S coupe. Several test drives in the 911 and the wife of 33 years looked over at me on the test drive (911S) and said your crazy if you think I am driving to Las Vegas in this car. I believe in the saying, "happy wife happy life". I know this does not apply to you since you are single and me and the wife are in our 50's. I made the transition from a 2014 C7 Corvette Z51 to a 2015 BMW M3 (F80) and I knew going back to the seating position of the Corvette (seat pan on the floor) was going to be a hard sell for the wife. It only took one test drive in the F90 and we were both sold on the vehicle. Our F90 is used as a weekend car and after 2 years of ownership it only has 6.5k miles. We have several other vehicles in the household (total of 4) and I have a take home vehicle for work. However I am gravitating back to Porsche and the new 992 911S is calling back to me. Such a beautiful vehicle. |

Don't get rid of the GT3. Can't beat a high-revving naturally aspirated screamer like that. 992 Turbo is awesome but the GT cars are just so much more special.

Try something different would usually be my ideal choice. But as you totaled your car at just 3509 miles..... You didn't really get much time with your M5 actually....

I bought an E39 M5 a year after I got my F90. The E39 is more fun to drive but less comfortable for long drives or traffic. I now view the F90 as the ultimate daily driver and not really a sports sedan but if I were to spend $125k on a different daily, I’d get a 911.

Funny thing was I was looking maybe to buy a e39 and maybe build it up a bit and clean it up and have comfort as a daily and the f90 is phenomenal as a every day car power in each gear the interior just amazing ! So maybe I won't be looking into a e39 |
