    My M5 runs out of warranty in September. I'm not sure what to get next. New M5 is still a couple of years away. Not real keen on downsizing to M3 sedan but I suppose that is an option. New 7 isn't far off but not enough performance anyway. Audi RS6 - not here yet but maybe. E-class Benz due for replacement in next year so no interest there. I like the S63 but hard to find and too dear.

    Any M5 owners here facing the same dilemma? Where's Beama when you need him?

    new Arnage coming out in 2010, W16 from the veyron is the torque.

    i think maybe S8, a v10 from the gallardo next to the big cousin LP640 should be interesting.

    QP just got a facelift

    CLS 63? M5 power but probably not handling/braking. prettier, though...

    M3 Sedan, C63, Lexus IS-F have decent space up front but not in back

    S63/S65, Audi S8, Bentley CFS are much bigger but still darn fast

    Nice idea. S8 would be horn.

    Not second hand I gather? S63 would be nuts but a lot of $$$
