Help me buy a new car.
My beloved 2005 Mustang has reached the end of its life. 144K miles its time to move on. Going to start a new job with a commute across a long bridge over water. Going to miss it.


You help me decide. Point me in the right direction. Give me the great info that puts me in the right car.......I'll send $50 to the charity of your choice.

Criteria:
I want to spend between $30k - $40K.
Automatic
Got some style
Have to be able to fit in the car comfortably
Prefer a coupe


Right now I'm thinking new Challenger, Nissan 370Z, Mustang etc. Son is telling me to look at used Mercedes, Lexus etc.

What ideas do you have?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 03/11/2015
It's a done deal. I've bought and ordered a 2015 Challenger SCAT Pack Shaker. 392 Hemi 6.4L, 486 HP, 475 toruque, 4.1 second 0-60 time. Has all the same luxury "stuff" as the BMW and Lexus's.

Last years "Shaker" models sold out in 4 days. I decided if I was going retro, go all in and went with the lime green 1971 Challenger remodel. Bumblebee stripe and the Shaker hood. I deleted the stripes on the roof and the hood. Will take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Dark wheels.

I gave $50 each to the charity of their choice to Bearcat and Miles. When Simply Red shows back up, I'll get his charity the money.

The Car arrived finally......

Suspect the reason you may not love the M5 as much as your former 335 is its a heavy full sized car. Engine is a total masterpiece but still a full sized car.
I got the one that's actually in the ECU - non piggyback (jb4) - it felt stock - the torque was 418 - that's why it felt so fast - But I did whip a stock S4 (assuming) in it - and fairly bad too.

A neighbor on my street has two nice ass BMWs that he and his wife drive. He washes and cleans them by hand EVERY weekend. I haven't slowed down enough to inspect what they are but one is that awesome pearly blue color and the other is white. They are the finest looking cars I've seen.

just as an example - that one is 329 HP - 332 Torque -- not bad for stock.

But yes - I hate how big the m5 is. I'll never own another this big.

got your message BRC - I was just checking Carmax near you - nothing too tempting - but I only researched the 335, BTW - to touch on Miles' pt. The 335 'stock' is still PLENTY fast.

I can get the 428i for better prices than the 335 around here.

You won't have the twin turbo though - twin turbos are so sweet IMO.

the 428 is a handsome car though - perhaps it has enough get up for you - Wonder if Miles knows it's HP? I'm too tired to look now - I'll catch you all in the A.M. at some point - it may be the afternoon(ish)

Later -

428 has 240 hp but with the 8 speed auto its pretty quick. 0-60 is 5.3ish.

See that's probably just fine. GREAT looking car too. I'd explore that one as well. That may be the ticket. See? much faster than a 2.0t with a more handsome overall body, IMO. Lower and slightly wider frame. Thanks Miles.

The 2s are hard to find, and I've read in a few places that the 235 counts against a dealer's M allotment... and it's a smart move to keep inventory low, since there's less money to be made and it's kind of a niche product.

Autotrader shows 70 235 AWD and another 100 RWD in the entire country, compared to over 2100 4 series coupes.

So the salesman wasn't giving me a load of BS, the 2's are low production then. Maybe I should get that model because of resale value if I decide in a couple of years that the retro muscle cars are really more my speed? Or do all the cars mentioned here hold a good resale value?

I think BMWs in general have pretty solid resale value, based on some research (haven't ever tried selling a used BMW, myself). The 2s aren't even a year old (I think they started production last April on the 2014 models).... I don't know how many people will be looking for used 2s in 2-4 years, but I'm thinking there won't be a ton to choose from, as opposed to the 4s.
