What would you choose for a daily driver with $3.5M in the bank?

Regardless, if $3.5m is life-changing...your life probably sucked.

Omg. Shut up. and the price of Caviar is going up! The horror!

I have a ZR1 on order and I'm quite confident it will remain a rare sight around these parts. I can't remember the last time I saw a C6 ZR1 on the road.

and this is just from the first page.

The question is what's for dessert?

Lol, WTF people get all worked up about your money. Spend your money how you want to spend it for fuks sake. You only live once and people getting all tangled up about money apparently lack the confidence that they themselves can go out and make it.

Last thing I would do is take financial advice from “high rollers” on a BMW forum . . . Maybe from a few on Ferrarichat, but not bimmerpost . . .

I’ve been super wealthy and dang near broke thanks to property and stock losses in 2008/2009. I was happy when I was up and happy when I was down . . . for the most part . . . so just live life to the fullest and do what makes you happy. There is no guarantee you will be around tomorrow, next week or next year.

A lot of interesting posts here about finances on what is suppose to be a lighthearted thread. I think $3.5 million in cash is quite a lot of money to have and spending up to $1m with the rest towards an investment is still a very sensible choice (me being a young professional, I'd use that remainder $2.5m towards building my practice and my investments). Saying that having $3.5m is not enough to purchase at least 1 super car is ridiculous...

But anyways in regards to the game, I think I'd keep the M4 as a daily, buy an DB11/vantage as my fancy/classy street car, then an audi R8 as my exotic as you don't really get that engine note from anywhere (maybe a used LFA?), and then finally either a Ford GT or the upcoming GT3 RS as a track car if you're into that. I know you only mentioned 1 car but I think the perks of having a large disposable income is that you have the ability to experience multiple, and as many of these amazing machines as possible.

I would get a Koenigsegg 1: one

I've never really been into supercars, so... an Individual F90 M5 is all the car I'd ever need.

3.5 mil is NOT enough money to buy an exotic car. I cannot believe some of these responses.

I wouldn't even think about ferraris and mclarens before I hit networth of 15 mil at least (excluding my house) and hope it can generate me what... hopefully 600k in annual passive returns?

There is so much unknown about the OP's situation. If for example the OP is a young surgeon who is also a bachelor with no intention to get married or have kids - buy the exotic.

If however the OP is an unemployed person with few skills and 8 dependents - then buying an exotic would be a really bad choice.

To put that $200K in perspective, that is the equivalent of what just 7% of households in the entire country make in A YEAR..

It's sad on so many levels. But I can see why some would feel that way.

I know of many colleagues here in sf Bay Area who are a few years out of b school and have student loan debts and are paying over $4/mo rent. As a result, a couple making $200k/yr gross could feel like they are struggling because it's taking them a super long time to put together a downpayment to get into any home or condo because the area is so costly

Edit: I saw an AMG GTR the other day and I would put that on the list for OP to consider

This is why I would love a GTC4Lusso. How many V12 sort of DDs are there that can carry four people semi comfortably?

[minn19]

This is a car forum guys and gals. Have fun for once and save the bullshit for some other thread.

It was a simple/fun question and should just get a simple/fun answer.

The backseats aren't that comfortable. I am 6'0 and its very tight for me.

It's almost claustrophobic back there and at speed I felt strangely out of sorts by the tight confines, so don't put people you like back there.

But the front seats are like you can probably imagine of a $400,000 Ferrari GT car, exceedingly comfortable.

The power from the V12 is very intoxicating and the AWD works very well in Minnesota.

That's by design. I have nothing to gain from a response.
