Default a car for 2012

I like the S so will keep that and replace my vectra which is.. Err.. Leggy

I'm currently thinking the outgoing M3, i know they have a dodgy image but its a great NA v8 so ticks some boxes there plus it has a decent interior and kit.

I dont like the soulcrew behemoth so no vauxhall suggestions thanks. Mercs have a bad rep and i dont like most. It needs 4 seats and a good motor. I cannot abide the M1 and the m5 is probably too big these days.

I have considered the s4 and will take a look at that. Anything else i should consider? Dont say GTR, while it will dry hump the m3 then beat it to death while reading max power i just dont think it's me. as much as i admire what it can do. Thats not meant to slag it off so please dont get defensive, its a styling thing only. I will drive one though

Budget.. I dunno, £40k i guess.. Maybe a little more. The bike will go to make room i think.

335i? - Can't think of anything other than M3/S4. Can you get an S5 with 4 doors? There's also the Lexus which would have depreciated nicely by now I would have though.

Congrats too.

If a C63 AMG Merc is out I can't think of much better than a 4 door M3.
