They aren't really fast, and they handle like a boat.

I wonder if you could still find a new or almost new Pontiac G8...a little off-topic, I know.

Some people care about their kids and the evo is far from a safe car. Think aluminum doors = worthless in side impact. Same with roof, fenders, etc.

Obviously gas mileage is not a concern for you it sounds. Any reasoning why you chose the E63 or M6? Reason I ask is the cars I would honestly consider would be these:

Lexus ISF
E90 M3 with DCT
Audi RS4
Cadillac CTS-V

All of them are cheaper, more reliable, and just as nice. RS4 has come carbon build up problems but not a big concern. I honestly would choose the E90 M3. Really a comfortable car, M warranty, better chassis and handling than any of the above mentioned cars and 414hp with DCT is not that much slower than the others either.

E63 or C63 are very nice but alot of car and TERRIBLE gas mileage. Very nice interior though but handling is so so. The other car might be worthwhile looking at is the new 5 series with the 4.4 turbo motor. Can get a M sport package and it makes it pretty nice and pretty good mpg as well for the amount of power.

The Audi RS4 is also nice, and its AWD if it snows. The new CTS-V is supposed to be pretty good but I still dont think their quality is on par with the germans.

I was just projecting my own thoughts into the conversation. I know that if I were trying to select a more family-friendly sedan, I would consider many more things than just these two cars. I have driven both of them. The M5/6 is great, but the transmission is a little different than what you may be used to depending. The E63 is a TOWER of power. That is the comment that I hear from everyone who owns one, too. They have this fire-breathing giant under the hood that can squeal tires at 100 or more MPH.

Are they both fun family sedans? Sure. However, the price-tag includes a long list of things that I have a problem paying for. For literally half the price, you could get a G8 (which is also a tower of power, and I would guess is equally as fun to drive) without the iDrive garbage, the wood-trim, and all the other little accoutrement that I just don't care about. But hey, that is my 2 cents.

(I would also always rather go for a brand new car as opposed to a used one. But again, that is just personal preference. I now return you to the previously scheduled discussion about two car which are merely subjectively different.)

hmm who ever thinks a 335i is not fast is on some crap.

They come 300hp stock faster than a evo I am pretty sure, and they arent going to cost you as much as a m3!

With some mods you could be easily at 400whp on a 335i just like i am
