Coming from a 2014 335i to a 2016 535i, I'm trying to figure out what to get next. So far my short list is, M3, M4, 650 gran coupe or X6. I love fast nimble cars, but I also love the look of the 650 gran coupe and X6.

I picked these 4 cars as their leases are kind of in the same price range (within a couple hundred).

I'm probably leaning toward the M3 right now, but every time I see the 650 or X6, I can't stop staring, lol.

Different beasts for different jobs!
Not sure Gran coupe or x6 are "nimble?.

Nice choices.

When is your lease up?

 

[ndinh]

Just curious approximately how much a lease for M3's and M4's go for?

 

[jagu]

Stick with the M3 if you want a nimble car. The Gran Coupe is a longer 5 series that seats low.

 

[Rich949]

If you read my sentence correctly, I implied that the M3 and M4 were nimble cars but that I liked the look of the 650 and X6. Lol. My lease isn't up for 2 more years, but I have some connections, lol. M3/M4 leases are around $900 a month.

I'm right there with you having just come from a 2014 335i. I enjoy the change but this is a stopover 'til the G20 comes out - I expect it to be great. The smaller footprint suits me best...

Less car, love the BMW, but Im interested in a Jeep. Not the grand Cherokee but a Wrangler Unlimited with big ass wheels. Having a BMW seems to have lost its appeal. I want to park anywhere, run over any type of pavement and not care....need a break.....

I'm in a similar dilemma. I have a 2011 535 CPO which ends Sept 2017. I'm torn on what to get after that. I don't think I want another F10, I love the car but I don't want to pay again for the same or similar car.. mayyybe a 2015 or 16 550 but I'd prefer a 6 series gran coupe or 740 or 750i. Can be had used for a decent amount. I'd like to lease the new 5 but afraid it'll be too much compared to slightly used. I feel your pain on the decisions.

I went from an f10 535 to M5 to 550i. The 550i is my favorite and perfect car.

A brief history: '04 A6 2.7T = > '07 SL550 => '11 550xi => '13 650xi => '15 M6 => ??

The recent trend is towards an open air sports car, so the ?? are potentially an AMG GT Roadster, Jag F-type, or maybe next gen 6er if it get smaller/lighter.

 

[Ace535i]

How about the redesigned 2017 Audi S5?

How about an M2?

 

[old-school]

Next one we get will probably be a fully loaded X5, according to wifey.:dunno:

Interesting. Would have thought the M5 'cures' all the shortcomings of the 550.

Do you have a separate thread on your experiences - don't want to hijack this one.

It is a very harsh ride. You literately feel every pebble on the road. It's also very cumbersome to drive around because you really have to think about driving all the time. The 550 does everything the M5 does with no drama. I might go back to the M5 with smaller wheels or the Audi S8 Plus in about 3 years.

One funny observation is that the M5 is more gas efficient than the 550i on my regular driving route by .7MPG. LOL

How about an M2?

Small chance you can even get one

To new and leases will be absurd

Unless your looking at a vert you can lease way cheaper. M3 residuals fir July were 66%

I might check out an M2 in 2018, but I almost have Mrs D convinced that I "need" an AMG GT Roadster. So if I get anything less expensive, I'll be seen as finally growing up and making a practical decision. Now who would want that?

What about a McLaren 570s?
