just getting some opinions from fellow shift buddies on some cars… Im looking for #1 key - reliability #2 baller as fuck #3 25k or less m5 is prolly my dream car but at around 100k miles which is around the mileage of one priced around 25k there prolly not gonna be super reliable. I’ve looked at lotus’s which I love, but again, not reliable. BMW is getting boring and doesnt have the options other cars like infiniti or lexus have… I LOVE 7 series, but again, there fucking junk and have retarded problems… Im tired of bringing my cars to the shop every fucking month, even if it is covered under a warranty. Right now im thinking between another g37 or an is250/350… love the g37 but ive been there done that and the lexus i love, but the interiors are plain as fuck. …if i dont find somethin im gonna fuckin buy a 3k civic and rock that shit and i really dont wanna do that so someone give me some ideas lol… ---

Baller and reliable don’t really go hand in hand in my opinion. At least not with German stuff. One of those newer Nissan Z cars? ---

G37 is prlly the best bet for both worlds, I think an e55 amg fits right in with what your looking for, or if you can afford the 63 amg that would be cool too, the v10 s6 has dropped in price a lot but its still going to be a 80k - 100k mile car when you buy it at that price … But it has a lambo v10 so that’s baller as fuck Edit\* Also maybe a carrera 4s the 996 body style with 80k-100k miles ---

e55 amg can have MASSIVE repair bills is350 isn’t going to be great in the snow is250 is literally the slowest car on earth $25K is a tough range, I went through the same thought process. Ended up with an RDX for daily commuting. ---

Save up a few more $$$$ and buy a Lexus ISF. My friend is selling his Evo 9 MR; 35R, 2.4L, Shep 5 speed, 507 HP. It would prob be somewhere around $25K. ---

g8 gt , around 22k , rims and tires 2k or less , lowering 500 bucks, tint , some plasti dip or actual paint on some key parts and its done . spend another 1200 bucks on tune, intake and axle backs and you have a mid 13 second car thats big and comfy and looks great .
