Default What car would you get in place of your 2G IS

What car would you get if you were to get rid of your used 2G IS?
I have someone that will give me far money for my car...I'd make a few dollars, but I'm struggling to find another car...
My IS is lowered...has nice wheels...exhaust....intake...is this it?...am I actually happy with my car?
I have a kid so I'd like a four door...I sometimes take clients so I can't show up in a "boy racer"...

I test drove both and went with the IS. The BMW was a very close second for me.

For me 07+ M5. The sound and power of the V10 does it for me. Stupid expensive to maintain but well worth it. If not the M5, a CLS55 or maybe an E55 AMG would do. I like my saloons with raw power

You are a wise man !!! But the money to keep a Bimmer running is insane for real, that's why I bought a IS...
