OK, so what's your next car??

So the economy is in the s**tter and there are great deals to be had on so many cars.
My "problem" I don't need another (or different) car right now.
My 335i has been great and I still love it. I am a bit over 1/2 way through my lease at this point.

But I've been starting to think of what to get next.

I'll probably stick to the same price point ($50-55K max) but would also consider going less.

I'd definitely wait until the 2010 model year cars roll around, but don't know what I'll be looking at. I may even consider the 2010 redesigned 335i Coupe. But it's pretty much just a mild make over like the 2009 sedan was compared to the 2006-2008 sedans.

So what do you guys think will be your next car? Oh and it could be a slightly used car too.

Will get my next car in 3.5 years, and it will be either a '05-'06 E46 M3 with competition package Jet Black on Black, 6speed.

Or an E30 M3 Evo II.

Not really sure what I am going to do, because in 3.5 years I'm moving to the UK. In which case it will be a lot easier to find an E30 than over here in the states, but I dunno what the hell I am going to do learning to drive on the wrong side. How the hell do you drive with your right hand and shift with your left? Bricks will be shat.

This is a hard question that gets harder after each mod for my e2. I would most likely have to say a cayman S.

Hyundai Genesis 2.0T or V6. Only 18, so the income is limited!

would love to have a V10 R8, but that seems a bit of a stretch since i like to switch cars every 2 or so years if not sooner.

more realisticly, maybe a used E55 AMG, CLS55 AMG, M5 with TT V8 and DCT (can't stand SMG, it's such crap), 997 TT, Z06 would be fun and real cheap to buy (if Chevy is still in business by then lol), etc.. so many choices but at this time, my E92 335i is still the perfect car overall for what i'm looking for.
