Easiest 'luxury performance' car to maintain\own
Ok, I'm getting way ahead of myself but possibly down the road, once I get tired of my S, I was thinking of what car to get next. The X and STI are out of the question because of the less than favorable reviews of both. Also, I've done the AWD Rally Car for the Street bit for four years and I'm looking for something with a bit more luxury. The only other car I could think off would be the 370Z but I figured, for my next one, I should step it up a couple of notches and get something fancier. Any suggestions? I was thinking an E46 M3 but I'm weary of the potential maintenance cost. A Porsche Boxster S\Cayman S also appeals to me but again, maintenance may be too much. The NSX is an option but I would treat it more as a second car\garage queen because of it's semi-exotic status. Plus working on a mid-engine car would be a pain I would imagine (this goes for the Boxster and Cayman). On the domestic side, a C5 Z06\C6 Z51 would be good choice but the interior is just god awful (the C6 is ok to me). I'm limiting the price at $50k and under. I'm not worried about insurance since it'll be expensive to insure regardless of which one I get.

I did the 335i when I sold the S. I ordered mine and did the performance center delivery and it was awsome. The bmw is easy to mod and maintain. (I do an inbetween oil change between the BMW one) The car does everything and the adjustability of the stability system is great. Just find a good dealer to work with. It is not an S, but after having the 335 for a year now I only miss the S once in a while. I had also looked at the G and it didn't do anything for me.
