Question Daily Driver Replacement

Hey guys, I have been looking for a replacement for the CLK and E350 Cab. Not planning to get rid of the 55 yet. Here what's Ive narrowed it down to:

2010 E550 coupe loaded white with black interior 22k miles
2011 335xi drive coupe mineral white with red interior, 14k miles
or just wait and lease a 2014 E350 coupe (not found of the shifter on the wheel though)
2010 S4 30k.... silver, blk

What are your thoughts?

E39 M5 and pocket rest of the cash and/or mod the E55 more.

I loved my E39 M5 - one of the best cars I've owned and an excellent DD.

I said E39 not E60.

I was averaging 25-26mpg with that car. And I had several mods done to her, too.

Id go with the 335. Decent on gas, yet still fun to drive. And they respond very well to mods

The only way I'd have an E60 for a DD is if I worked at a gas station.

Talk about a gas guzzler ... I would literally watch the fuel tank decrease while driving (normal) when I had one.

do a 335d - fantastic gas mileage and torque for days

my buddy has one, gets 38mpg on the highway and is planning on a chip that will up his torque over 450
