Have an R53 Cooper S as a daily driver - love driving bit but fancy something a bit more grown up but don't really want to sell it - not worth that much so I'm thinking of putting it off the road as I'd like to have it when the kids are old enough to start driving.
Question is what kind of 'grown up' car as a replacement - was thinking along the lines of E92 M3, E60 M5 or E63 M6 purely for the engine. I had also considered an S5. My daily commute is driving a 10Km round trip to/from work. And then a few longer journeys around the weekend with the family. Obviously I'd probably find other 'excuses' to for longer drives but (I think I know the answer to this), am I crazy to be thinking of something so high performance and potentially high maintenance for this type of driving?
