Let's hope the wrenches get nice and dusty: 2016 M3

[Beej]

Thanks guys! I haven't felt my usual buyer's regret after a big expense, which I think is a good sign. 

Took it to VA Beach for the weekend. Initial impressions are that shit it's quick, there's a bit more road/tire noise than I expected, and wow automotive tech has come far in 20 years. The UConnect in the Jeep is great but I don't really do anything with it; iDrive is pretty damn impressive too.  For no tangible reason other than "it feels tighter/nicer and the doors sound nice when they shut", my wife really approves of the move, too.  Appreciates nice things, not at all a car person.

I'm really pleased with the color too, and it's not always as loud as it is in the sun.

The “multiple cars” to a single car seems to be a getting older theme. I do think you’ll regret selling the M5 though; I just checked prices and they have skyrocketed and I bet will continue to do so.

Yeah it's partially wanting to keep things simple and partially a space issue. Things might change if we get a place with better parking but for now I'm super psyched to have one car.

I'm still waffling a bit on the e39, my biggest fear being that they're going to "e30 M3" in price.  Storing it, though, is an inconvenience.  And color/condition aside, in the end it's a 117k car with a body repair (non documented but if you look hard you'll find it).  Those facts make the gamble a bit easier to swallow, but yeah, I dunno.  Carmax offered $8k.
