I need a new motor

SteveS:
So its been around 8 years! i love my ED30 and its a real decent performance car!!
However! i want to find a new car... Im looking for something which is more suitable for my years. Of course it has to be a drivers performance car. I cant go back from the performance of a stage2+ ed30!

Thought id throw the idea out on the forum and see people suggestions.. i have a few ideas

BMW 2013 M3.. around £35 but older and no longer produced..
BMW M4, around 45k for a 2014 plate, waiting for the new plate may drop the cost a little and allow me to get a 15plate
Mercedes C63.. 2013 ish i think, 45k but huge engine, cost more on petrol and tax
Audi RS5, 44k? 2013 ish, Not totally sold on the lo0ks, pretty standard from the side and again, more in tax and petrol plus older..
Porche Cayman up to 45k, look great but (if.when i have a family, will be useless!) also maintenance is probably ridiculous.

Right now im leaning towards the M4. first gen so may be a collector later on, extremely fast. Twin turbo, can be modded with a plugin box of around an extra 100hp..

opening up a can of worms, but go for it lads!

F10 M5? There were/are some seriously good lease deals.

Personally love the E92 M3. They'll never make a big N/A engine like that again.

Merc c63 or rs5 for me

M5 is too large for me, also costs more.
M3 i do like, but the engine is such a size and puts out less than the m4.. plus i like a turbo, easily tunable too

RS5s are as much as a much newer m5, as mentioned they also seem to average looking.
Merc i do like a lot! but a 6.3 engine.. bit ridiculous
