Thanks everyone. All good points. I appreciate the responses.

For me, it's time not money. I'd rather be spending my time elsewhere really. I intend to hold on to the car for a bit even if or after I get something else. I enjoy working on the car when it's on my terms. It feels like a burden right now though.

I'm looking at E39 M5's, 02 or 03 preferably. I think that'll give me the driving enjoyment I want. I consider them quite affordable now, too. As Mike mentioned concerning his Camaro compared to the Porsche, it's a hammer. My TA is the same way. I chuckle when reading people talk about the M5 as a beast. I have no doubt it's a fun drive, I haven't driven one yet, but beast is not an apt description in my opinion. It's a modern car though. It'll do everything I want my TA to do better even if it's not as powerful. I imagine it'll be powerful enough and that's what matters. I guess I'm wanting to hit the easy button now is all.

Sorry to hear about your losses, Ahmad. I totally agree that cars/hobbies don't take priority over family and life.

Thanks everyone.
