Ironically, I ran across this vid the other day and although Im not sure Im in line with all the opinions ventured within, it is a good tongue-in-cheek look at sports cars today

Mine's 2011 G37 IPL Manual Trans and it has 210k miles and i'm keeping it until it falls aparts.
So far I have replaced Alternator(@200k), Starter motor(which will be replace soon@210k),Clutch (@100k it wasn't clutch issue but I replaced while im changing Clutch Slave cylinder), Water pump(@200k) and New Clutch set w/ Dual mass flywheel(@210k going back to stock clutch set).
Other then above so far running strong!

I've got about 40k miles on my G37XS, and it's paid off, so I will be keeping it for a while, probably until it no longer runs. I've been eyeing the M56x and Q70, but most likely I'll wait a bit more. I have a Chevy Malibu to drive during the winter, a Buick Regal my gfs car, and a new Kia Sorrento. So probably keep the G forever. It's still fun car to tool around in, and comfortable.
I assume most people have moved to a Q50, and I would have a Redsport if not for all the problems with those turbos.

I've had mine for over 7 years now. No plans to get rid of it with everything I've done to it. It's my car show car now.
I have another daily now, 2020 M340i xDrive. Absolutely love it.

It is so much fun to drive, and I plan to keep it for a very long time.

I got my 2010 in 2013 and its been a gem. As long as there are no major issues that start costing me out the butt I'll keep it as long as possible. The car has been paid off for 4 years now so I'm in no rush to get another car note plus she is only has 85K+ on the clock so a lot of fun left to be had!

My 2012 X coupe has about 145k on it. Car's never given me any major problems and was fun for a while. I'm sure it has some life left in it but I am more than ready to move on. I had intended to buy a Kia Stinger, but that was before the chip-pocalypse and our current age of 0% depreciation on used vehicles. I see 2 or 3 year old cars basically going for their original MSRP.
Was thinking about killing some time this Friday and checking out a few dealerships just to make myself a little more depressed. I like the TLX and Veloster N as well, but the Stinger is the car I really can see myself in.

Test Drove the New Mustang, I thought it looked great standing still. Drove horribly! I mean id never speed in that car for fear of crashing!! My buddy has a new 335i so i was anxious to drive it around while he drove my G, i liked seeing the tuirbo needle move but never felkt connected with the car at all. Maybe it needs a race track? but i appreciate the drama and acceleration FEEL of the G over the BMW. That said i will be keeping her,
