What would you trade for

Preface the topic by saying this is the best car I've ever had. I just hit 35K miles, have very tasteful mods, and it still smell brand new. Looks stock from exterior, but it's a rocket ship with Dinan I take, Velos tune, and an Eisenmann Sport exhaust.

That said, I have some extra $ and can spend up to $100K (after selling this rig).

Wait for new X5M?

I'm intrigued by a G63. I know they're slow and stupid looking, but the sound they make is worth the unreasonable price tag.

What do you guys think is the move? New X5M? It would be my third and if you really look beyond the glitz and glam it's really all the same car, just dolled up. The G would be a new kind of special.

Thoughts?

Or I could just slam it on 22's and ride it out for a few more years? I'm lost.

V, if you're following tradition, I see a F95 in your future. SOP starts this month and should be in showrooms very soon. How about a test driving one and give us your impressions? Curious to know your thoughts on this. Or the Lambo, as Bobby_Drake mentioned.

I would be tempted to go Audi. Sure the RS6 Avant but there's also the RS7 and the RS Q8. My current fav of those three is the RS7 actually.

I think a g wagon will be the next addition to our a garage though as that is what the wifey wants. Definitely won't be springing for the AMG version though lol.

As for me, I'm happy with the F85 and am more looking forward to additional mods than a new car entirely.

Tbh I was going to look into the F95 but idk why the body lines on that car isn't grasping my attention as of yet and the F85 is...🔥🔥🔥 so I think I'm going to keep the F85 mod it and go after the G80 M3 or a Porsche in the near future.

Great options for sure, all of them. I might be limited to one car though. A client gave me his dune buggy as a closing gift and now I'm one parking space short. 😔

Bonus! What's the KBB trade in value on that I wonder?

After reading your title, but prior to reading your post, I was going to say G-wagon.

I think that is my next move as it checks all the boxes for me: luxery, fast, and capable. (And great resale value)

The new ones are actually nice on the inside..the older ones were definitely dated.

Good luck with your search.

The new G is out of this world and if I had $200 sitting around I wouldn't even be having this conversation! Lol

I saw one the other day in a frozen gray with black HRE's bulging so far out that they looked like they were spinning off. It was by far the best looking SUV I've ever seen. But man the price of something like that is just unreasonable.

I also agree that the older ones are out dated. Even the G63's of the last few years are dinosaurs. It's the only reason I haven't bought an AMG yet. The facelift W212's are dinosaurs. The 2016-2019 GLE's are dinosaurs. The new new AMG's are starting to look like Pagani's and it's breathtaking but way out of my budget.

You know what I think will be epic, the new Bronco but in a SVT variant. Could be a fun truck to pick up and mod to hell. Plus I read that they're coming as hardtop convertibles. That would be super cool.

Think we need some more guidance as to what you are looking for. I love the F85 and plan to get a 2018 F85 to replace mine in about 2yrs or as mileage on mine climbs to high. If I was just looking for any replacement and not have to consider needs, I could go in any direction:
SUV - Range Rover Sport SVR, Porsche Cayenne, or full size Range if wifey desires
Car - Porsche 911 Vert or Targa
Sedan - M5
Truck - Wrangler Unlimited or possible wait for Ford Bronco
Pick-Up - Ford Raptor (Rousch Edition if possible)

New G wagon feels cheap on the inside. Hate Audi and MB infotainment. Lexus or Infiniti isn't in the conversation. Intrigued by Tesla, but not 100% sold on it. I'm really not a wagon/avant person.

Likely last garage spot will be filled with a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon or Willy's Edition in the near future. Desire a 911 vert as well but that could replace my M3.

Dude you described the dilemma precisely.

I agree with all your points entirely.

So sounds like the play is to keep F85 (100%) and either:

1. Tesla
2. For Bronco

The F85 is perfect, it really is. Checks all boxes.

Definitely getting that new Bronco. I want lifted with moddddddds.

If that car comes out proper, and has the hard too convertible, it'll be an amazing grocery getter!
