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

You are about to get an inheritance money approximately 3.5M USD.
If you can pick 1 car to buy. What would it be? And why? In this situation. You already have an M4 as a daily.

Not sure I understand.

Title says one car as a daily. Post says you have M4 as daily.

Are you keeping M4 AND getting another daily? Keeping M4 and getting fun car? Getting new car as daily and trading/selling M4?

If you are buying a new car as a daily to replace the M4, there's almost too many options to list. Personally, I would look no further than the S5 Sportback, or wait for RS5 version. But only because I would want/need 4 doors. If not, I'd probably get a C63, RS5 Coupe, or TT RS. If you're going even bigger than that, new M5, E63, or Panamera Turbo would be great options. Or new Conti GT will be out soon

If you are getting a toy, well, sky is the limit there. So many phenomenal cars you can buy for a fraction of that money.

Already have the BMW for a daily, so covered there. Need to get something that's an event to drive, to look at, and to take out. Depending on budget, something like a 911.2 GT3, R8 V10 Plus, or if stretching higher a 488 or a Huracan Performante if you can find one to buy.

I would love to have a 488 Pista one day, but I have no idea if that'll be possible with as political as owning special edition Ferarris are these days, haha.

Can't do just one, honestly. If gun-to-the-head forced; my answer would probably be a Lusso 12.

If I were adding to my already taken care of useful trio (M3 / X3 35/ Mk7 GTI), I wouldn't hesitate to acquire a TDF; I'd then be quite content.

If you already have the M4 as a daily, why are we picking another daily?

If I had no other car, but my current life I would pick a 911 Turbo S.

If I was a bachelor with no other car, I would probably do a X6M I think.

DB11 for a daily driver where $$$, maintenance cost and depreciation is not a concern.

Decent back seat, incredible engine and sound, finest leatherwork and coachwork available short of Rolls Royce and the Bang & Olufsen doesn't suck.



Oops . . .

Too ADD to get to the end and see the already have any M4 for daily driving. The DB11 was if could only have one car.

To go with M4, I would say Pagani or used Veyron.

Mclaren 720S

Maybe Ferrari if I would be able to actually acquire one.

GT3 for the purist in me. Maybe the GT3 + the Ferrari or McLaren. Yeah that

And never ever drive my M3/M4!

For my daily, I wouldn't want anything flashier than my M3. If you are talking about a weekend car, that is an entirely different discussion. For that, because theoretically the $3.5 M is still my money, personally I'll take a manual 991.2 GT3 and call it a day. Come to think of it, I may just do that one day...

Sorry for not being so clear but yes. Those are the possibilities.
M4 is your DD.

Upgrade the M4 and get whatever your preference and its gonna be your daily. ( If you pick a Veyron then it's has to be your daily)

Keep the M4 and get your " track car / weekly car "

Sell your M4, get NSX or R8 as daily and get another gt3 RS or aventador for weekly?

Keep in mind that you have $3.5M free money.

When you have extra money, don't you want to spend it on something you have been wanting or dreaming with no hesitation, just because?
