[09Monaco335i]

I plan on keeping my E90 (134K miles currently) for perhaps the next 5 years. I still love driving my 2009 335i E90 xDrive with manual transmission 12 years after I purchased it new, which is pretty amazing. I just run my car stock, with no performance mods. I spent a good amount of money this year fixing the oil pan gasket leak, replaced the coolant pump, replaced the front shocks/struts... to keep my E90 for the long-term. No other cars (in my price range) on the market really interest me currently as a replacement for my E90.

The one new car under development I'm keeping my eye on is the new Mazda 6, that hopefully will include the new inline 6 engine Mazda is developing. If Mazda comes out with an inline 6 sedan with a manual transmission option, that might tempt me to sell my E90. A car with BMW-like performance with Japanese reliability would be pretty enticing.
