I would consider the c63, the new M3 sedan with a ESS supercharger kit, or I would go back to an e39 M5 also with a ESS supercharger kit.

knowing what a love and hate relationship I have with both of my AMG's...

I will probably would own a GS460 or GS350 and call it a day.

I won't buy another German Car unless it has force induction. therefore I will on the sidelines looking at all the new models hit the street and then decide.

I still like the 335 coupe, but rather have a v8 TT. Therefore I will waiting a few years before I can pick up a 1 year old E class V8 with TT or 5 series v8 with TT.

Probably wont be getting an AMG or M car for quite some time.

If I ever lose the E55, I would most likely get a M6.
