I am having a bit of a dilemma, we just sold our house and are moving to a smaller one with much less garage and driveway so I am having to downsize the stable. Currently we have the following vehicles:

- 2015 X5 x35d (Wife's DD)
- 2008 335i auto (My 1/2 time DD)
- 2003 X5 4.6iS Dinan S3 (My other 1/2 time DD)
- 1992 Z32 (300ZX) TT (Forged Internals, HKS 2530s with the works)
- 1999 540i 6spd (My old DD, currently needs timing guides)
- 1990 300SEL (purchased as a project but have too many so its currently up for sale)

We can realistically keep up to 4.
- My wife hates the Z32 (history, death of a close friend, sentimental value, etc.) but wont make me get rid of it because of the sentimental value.
- The 540i was the car we went on our first date in and my wife and son both love it (I do too) plus market value on it is pennies.
- The 2015 X5 obviously stays, its a great vehicle, family hauler, road trip highway eating machine that so far (knocks on wood) has asked for nothing.
- As noted the 300SEL is up for sale so that's one off the list (BTW if anyone is interested feel free to reach out) its by no means perfect but would probably make it cross state if not cross country as it sits.
- So this comes down to the 4.6 and the 335. I could get rid of one or the other or both and replace with something more practical. The 335 is probably the best DD I've ever owned with exception of my EK hatch. The 335's only downfall is its an automatic (I prefer 3 pedal cars). The 4.6 is a monster and so much fun, 450 supercharged hp/tq in an AWD panzer tank is silly. Its not incredibly fast especially in comparison to the Z32 but with a ~5.0 sec 0-60 and never-ending top end its a joy to drive but its a maintenance hog and even with having the big jobs under my belt, the constant oil leak here or window regulator there is becoming an issue that is creeping into the family life (NOT GOOD!).

- THE PROBLEM: There isn't a damn thing for under 50k on the slightly used or new market at the moment that comes even close to either of these vehicles in overall driving enjoyment. Trading up for a newer version of either seems silly since we only have one car payment at the moment. And driving something like a TRD Taco seems counter-productive since I drive a lot and if I'm going to make a move I'd like it to be to something more efficient (335 averages 23mpg, 4.6 averages 13 :gapteeth: )

So I'm here to have y'all sling whatever at me, maybe something will stick, maybe y'all talk me into growing the F up, maybe nothing happens, maybe someone even takes the Benz off my hands. . . Have at it ladies and gents.
