I still fancy me 635d M Sport Coupe but I am not sure if I would get bored in my 3 year time period.

an M5 will Comprehensivley ANNIHILATE a DB9!

DB9 aint that much quicker than a 335d, and atfer a re-map i most certainly will be snapping at the heels of me Uncwah

[quote=Hotcoupe;1756736]I'd stick with the 335D,once it's been tickled,it'll do fine.
Stonking performance and cracking MPG returns,what more could you want,well mmm ok,perhaps there would be somat

I agree with Ian, especially after the tickling.

He's on about that MPG again! I'm going down the M1 tomorrow so time to test this point me thinks.

Jason, I agree the DB9 is beautiful, my cousin has one but unfortunately it has not been that reliable for what it cost etc.

Helen, you are a week to early the dyno day is not till next weekend. Are you doing a dry run for next weekend.

beemerbird · 11-30-2007, 03:08 PM

Good point Gibbo

No not going that far, only to sheep country ie. Derbyshire for some Landy bits. I reckon I'm going to have to drive like an old woman to get decent MPG. Can't see it lasting myself.

Snooky · 11-30-2007, 03:31 PM

Difficult one this.

I think I am in the DB9 camp too but there are many potentials!!

That said I have always wanted 3 series coupe and with a 335i M Sport on order I am about to get my dream car.

Agree with the other comments about 3 years - 2 years is the longest I have kept a car to date although I expect to keep the e92 for 3 years. Our company car scheme is 4 years

- that'll be the cash alternative option for me then!

Beauty and reliability are usually mutually exclusive in my experience. I was think about the ride, subtleness and experience

beemerbird · 11-30-2007, 03:56 PM

I agree Jason, but surely a re-mapped E92 335d is an exception. As with most things in life, the ride and subtleness come with experience. Usually find the older established marques provide these qualities.

SoYank · 11-30-2007, 04:18 PM

1937 Jaguar SS100 and I'd then take the bus. I'm pretty damned sure I'd keep it for many more than three years, too.

scotw · 11-30-2007, 04:27 PM

DB9 methinks, its just too gorgeous not to want it...

If not that, prob a 911, nice looking, fast, reliable.

I couldn't live with something temperamental (one woman is enough)

woody2223 · 11-30-2007, 04:33 PM

I would probably have to go with the RUF Rturbo everyday usable but with enough flair to get some looks. Oh and did I mention it's faster than hell.

NFS · 11-30-2007, 04:34 PM

Right now ...

I'd get a scud

Probably an M5 touring, or maybe as RS4 estate.
Maybe a M535d touring for the fuel bills
