    New Car Search, Looking for opinions!

    So here's the deal, ZHP is staying in the garage, but my lease ran up months ago on my DD, been using ZHP as my DD since my commute to work is 0.75 miles each way. I have somehow managed to slowly break my wife's will, in respect to my car buying over the years. She actually now will point out cars to me that she likes and generally has much more interest in cars then she ever had when we first met. Anyway, I have $30k budget for next car or cars, that's where I'm looking for opinions. I'm down to pretty much two options but I'm open to other ideas as well. The two options I have picked are as follows, 2010ish 335i M-sport to DD and a 2002ish Honda S2000 for top down fun ( since we live in southern Florida) also for autocross and open track days OR just spend it all on 2008 2009 M3. I don't know which way to go, and like I said I'm open to other options too.. Let me know what everyone thinks!
    Thanks!

    Well it's an entire 1.5 mile round trip haha, I enjoy trying to beat my top speed some mornings when the main road is empty, which right now stands at 98mph. I don't think I'm beating that tho. I am bring it tomorrow morning to get a Active Autowerks tune, so maybe the record may come down. I usually don't last more then a year with any car, unless I lease it. Not that I don't like them, just the whole variety is the spice of life thing. I love my ZHP, but if my wife is giving the OK on getting one or two other cars too I'm jumping on it before she changes her mind ha.

    DD the 335 or M3 and garage either both ZHP and S2000 or just garage ZHP. Or third option since my commute is only a mile and a half, just kinda drive what I feel like that day.

    Ride your bike or walk. That distance not worth starting the car. Unless the weather is really bad

    If you do get a 335i get one with the N55 engine instead of the N54, i.e. 2011 or newer. N55 has not had the magnitude of problems with HPFP, turbos, and injectors the N54 has had.
