| Replace my 335 with a ______?
Currently driving an '09 335 coupe. Fun car... very fast and still looks pretty good... but it has squeaks and rattles now, and just hasn't ever felt reliable or particularly well-built. Plus it no iPhone bluetooth/music capabilities = 
Time to consider replacing it.
Need something new/modern, comfortable for daily use, RWD or AWD, quick/fun, nice to look at. Bias is towards German brands but I'm reasonably open-minded. Not into modding.
Two options:
1.) Lease new. Maybe a 435i, S5, G37, etc. Warranty + cost certainty + choosing option packages =  . But which car?
2.) Buy used. Something under $40k preferably, max 5-6 yrs old. M3? Cayman? C63? Something that won't need servicing twice a week.
Soooo... yeah.
What car should I buy, RS?
Thanks in advance.
PS. Can't do Subaru. Or Cadillac. Or Corvettes. Or anything with an interior featuring mostly dollar store quality plastics.

Lexus IS-F?
Won't be a road magnet like a BMW but ample fast, very comfy, and all the tech you need.
Very reliable as far as I know too

If you like the way your BMW drives, everything else aside, used m3/1m/z4m or new 335/435 would all be good choices with the stick.
New Cayman is excellent as well with the stick.
Personally, the other cars you listed: g37, s5, c63, I didn't find to be nearly as good or fun to drive as their BMW counterparts, especially the auto only c63.

How about you be a man and fix it, instead of throwing away something that ain't broke. This generation is so wasteful.

Lol. Guy wants a new car asks for advice and people tell him he's being wasteful.
It's not like he's going to crush his old car and buy a hummer to daily. He's just looking for a little upgrade...
The ever helpful RS.

The ever helpful RS. | I just think its hilarious that he's justifying his need for a new car with complaints about squeaks and rattles, then mentions an m3 from the same year as an appropriate replacement. Nothing wrong with wanting something different but the reasoning is funny.
That said, the 08-13 M3 would be my first choice for a replacement.
What are your real reasons behind wanting the new car? Faster, more fun, looks, track potential?

If he can pick up a simillar year M3 which was only driven in the summer and only has 50k km's on it, is that still a problem? Quote:

Also, decreases in KMs don't give you bluetooth technology.

09 335i and starting to shake and rattle? Sounds about right. Sounds like a BMW. Might even take a huge leak on the floor with that cooling system too.
OP - You won't be able to get a 911 or Cayman to fit your criteria (max 5 - 6 years old and under $40K.) And it won't have Bluetooth integrated unless you want to ghetto-rig that shit, but we all know that ghetto-rigging electronics in German cars is a nothing more than a can of worms.
You have better options leasing than buying used. Good luck.

+1
I'd say M3 is the best bet, but pray that the previous owner has all the preventative maitnenance complete. Like Energy said, the car will be reliable...once everything is replaced. 
I can't speak for the Bluetooth thing however.
