Thanks for the suggestions folks.

Not a fan of the f10 M5, nor the pre-LCI e90 M3 (that would feel like a downgrade), really like the LCI e90 but the right one is likely 40k+ and 2350 tax (don’t think space would be an issue but having kids you do amass a rather large amount of crap )

@ Ginoc, I contacted deane’s about their C63 when they dropped the price but sadly it was sold already. To be honest apart from C63/E63 in that price range I would prefer something Bavarian

@ Kieran, I sure did - taxed until end of February 2021 and it’s a truly well sorted and loved car which is why it’s hard to let it go unless it’s for 100% the right car.

@ Chillipepper - yep, 2 door and one kid is a pain but not impossible, not sure I fancy dealing with 2 door + 2 kids. My only concern with the 2 car approach is that it can be a false economy sometimes and you’re also never in the fun car.
