You may remember (you probably won't!) that last year I was debating between selling my CLS 350 and moving up to an E63 or a CLS63 for family duties. What I did in the end was buy a BMW M6 Competition and a BMW 540i Touring. I love both these cars, the touring especially is just perfect, being an ex BMW HQ car, it has every box ticked and is a place of luxury for the family. The M6 on the other hand is properly raw and a huge thrill to drive.
That being said, it's been a year, and I'm bored!
I'm keeping the 540i, that's not in question, but I will be selling the M6, because used prices are through the roof and I will comfortably get back more than what I paid for it.
I'm also selling my Megan R26 track car and putting in some extra money to get the replacement.
My choices are a V10 Audi R8 Manual Gen1, or recently I've started looking at an AMG GT S
I would like to see if anyone has any opinion on this. Very different cars. I think the R8 is deserving of it being called a supercar, especially in V10 form. The AMG I don't think crosses that line but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Ive posted this question on Audi focused groups so wanted to get a non Audi biased response to the question of pros and cons. Indeed, if anyone can suggest anything else that isn't an Audi or Merc I'd be open to hear.
Thanks very much!
