But nice and comfortable as the 535i is, it's just not fun to drive so I'm bored of it and wanted a different car. The opportunity came across to get either a new M3 and also I played with the idea of getting a 7 series just because the fact that one can be had for an awesome deal right now due to the arrival of the 2016 model soon. Anyway, I asked my wife which one should I get the M3 or the 7 and that the 7 would actually be considerably less expensive. She said "get the M3". I then asked her why and not save a bit by getting the 7? She responded "because you always wanted to get back into an M. If you're going to spend "X" already, why not pay "X" more and by happy? You'll get the 7 and be happy for a bit since it would be a different car (and nice by the way), but after awhile you will end up bored with it for the same reasons you're bored with the 5". Also, since we only have 1 child right now (2 years old), it would be the last time within the near future I could have/justify having/affording the M3. So enjoy life and be happy! With that said, my F80 is scheduled to hit the port on the 30th ?.
Sorry if thread jacking somehow.

Im with you mate. I had crazy cars, then the kids arrived and made me sensible. My mrs did say something similar actually and i guess if they are telling us its ok, then it must be ok
Like everyone says on here, life is too short. My kids will get my current house and 50% of my company if i popped my clogs tomorrow so theyd be setup and sorted
I guess if you were spending 1K+ a month it might be a different story .
We all work dam hard in life so seems fair to have something we enjoy to make it worth while
