20k to spend on a car - suggestions..?

[Amelite]

Hey guys, I haven't posted on TR for quite awhile. I'm currently looking at purchasing another car, something around $20,000 or less. I currently drive a 2005 Acura TL and could not be more bored.

Potentials: 335i Sedan, Evo VIII, STi, IS 350, 545i, 550i, G37, E46 M3

'07 335i - High mileage for the price I can afford, first model BMW has used a turbo in the last 20 years.

Evo VIII - I'm 23 this year, losing interest in such plain tuners

STi - Same as the Evo VIII

IS-350 - It's a Lexus and their interior is terrible.

545i - High mileage, 5.5 0-60; same as the Acura TL

550i - Very difficult to find for the price I'm searching for.

G37 - I test drove a 370z and a G35, I wasn't too impressed with either. I'm assuming the same situation for the G37.

e46 M3 - It's an M3, quite expensive to maintain

Suggestions...?

I drive a lexus is 250, I love it power is decent and very good on gas. But if I had a choice I would buy a gs450 or gs300/350 I love the bmw 5 series and ive always wanted one. But if you want one to last without issues stick to the 6cyl, the v8 have a lot of oil leak issues, and transmission failures.

3 Series are good and reliable! Evo never had, I have owned a WRX non sti but those things require a lot of maintance. With lexus or Infinity you will have a realiable car that will hold it's resale.

I could name hundreds of cars you can afford for 20k, is there anything in particular you are looking for? You said you were bored but then listed a 545i, which is a boring ass car.

Porche 911, BMW M Coupe, or BMW M Roadster if you want a vert.

the Evo and Suby are far from plain..

I would find a used hemi challenger if I had 20k right now. But it's just what I want to add to the stable.

335i is exactly where I would be looking to spend my money
