Need car opinion

So my Christmas wasn't the greatest...RIP Evo. Ill post pics later this week, but I need a car opinion. Im graduating college next year with an engineering degree and now I don't know what to do about the car situation. Insurance hooked me up and gave me a good amount of money for my evo. Im stuck now on what to do. Im debating between a white evo8/9, 2007 BMW 335i, 2008 Infiniti G37. In your guys' honest opinion what do you think I should do. I know that if I get another Evo it can't stay stock. I would definitely go hard with it and drop a 2.3L stroker kit in with a 37R turbo. If you were in my position what would you do? Thanks

well basically it depends on your driving style.. what would you like to do...

all 3 cars are nice.. its a tough decision... but if you decide to go with an evo.. you just answered you own question of what to do with it...

good luck

Well you only live once and evo is by far one of the greatest cars. Im just confused with myself whether i want the luxury nice or the "evo" nice. Im just playing it by ear now, but opinions are always helpful. Thanks guys.

beemer would be more buisnessy... but come on....we all know a 2.3l 37r evo would be the most fun thing...you could stay in the evo scene and have the fastest car around....but still i can see how hard it would be for you to decide...for someone goin on in his life and becoming more mature...bmws are awsome and are definitely more classy but what would you want to walk out of ur house and see everyday...also the evo would be way less economical/efficient...exp. because of that 2.3 and 37r

was doing some looking and came across an 06 MR for a good price...as of right now looks like i wont be leaving the evo world. You only live once, so might as well enjoy it to the fullest. I think another evo would be great for that

I have a feeling the 335i is going to have huge potential. I would like to go to RWD sometimes, but just wait and see as for mods on the BMW. Personally, I'd get the Evo, but that's because I'm madly in love with these cars like many of us.

my dads been driving bmw's for almost 20 years now so im extremely familiar with them and grew up with one always in the garage. The 335i has mad potential, but i feel as though it will be in the shop more than on the road. They are also 42K. I could get another Evo and a yamaha R6 at the same time which would be the best of both worlds. Nothings like driving an Evo imo and the options are endless with them.
