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......

It's part of the sport package on the 335i. Seems like a lot of them have that package as it also has the stiffer sport suspension. Without sport package they should have the lower bolster "regular" seats.

So I've got to drop down to the 328 if I want regular seats? If so, I can go drive one. Find out if the "regular" seats are the bomb. ICan I put a "regular" 328 seat in the 335i?

You could.... use them for your boat?

Yeah, I don't know how easy they are to find so you can actually try them out and make sure they'd fit in a 335i... the sports seats would probably have to be good enough, just in case.

Don't need to go down to a 328i for the regular seats. That was just to show you what that look like since those since they are also the standard on the 335 (those without the sport package option). Like you said its at the same place to give you a chance to compare.

The BMW dealership is the place where you know the GM? Ask him, maybe he'll try to work out something if they can't find a 335 without sport seats.

No, he is KIA. But he's been around for 20+ years as a general manager so he knows a lot of them or use to work for a different brand.

He will be able to hook me up with a BMW dealer.

There ya go. They do exist. That looks like a normal seat. I do have some time to find a 335i with regular seats before I start the commute. And really even longer because there is really nothing wrong with the Mustang.

I'm just going to have to put off the decision until after I get back from training in 2.5 weeks or go to some lots in Austin??

I'm not ready to throw in the towel that there isn't a BMW for me out there.

There should be plenty of 335s out there but might just have to be a little patient and maybe cast a wider net. Your friend may have some suggestions of how to hunt one down.

An Austin example that may be a touch too old but nice color combo.
