3.I get my second car... suv or sedan just to use for work
4.It will be a APS Single turbo because I am not going for huge HP numbers. Just a little added boost without any problems. I want that blow valve to "pshhhhhh" when I am smokin M3's.

to be continued...
I would never buy a BMW since personally I think they are ugly and the interior is VERY outdated compared to Japanese luxury cars... very overpriced for what you're actually getting.
I was actually going to buy an M3 before I bought my G for $62K OTD... I changed my mind after I saw the interior and I test drove the G35 6MT. I figured with the $23K I was saving, I could build my own daily driver Skyline Turbo with all the goodies exactly the way I want it and STILL have money for my new R1 and STILL LOOK 10X better than any BMW. Oh, and NO BREAKDOWNS or problems.
All of my buddies with 70-80K BMWs and 100K Benzos are very flashy but they all complain about things going wrong in their cars and they always have loaners. If I had that much cash to play with, I'd import a R34 Skyline GT-R or put a down payment on an ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH.

Well I am in the same boat, I have no idea how much i'm in but i'm def. in deep.
June it goes back into the shop for new forged internals and a bigger blower so it is never ending...lol
And because I am still not completely satisfied, I am prob. getting a Porsche 911/996 TT later this year also. I know I have lost my marbles

Man, I am just obsessed with the VANQUISH though!!! I don't think I could handle driving such an expensive car.
I can't even stand getting dings on my G, I'd probably seriously hurt someone if they flawed my Vanquish if I had one. lol.
