			In your situation, I'd get the new BMW 550i.  Just a complete badass sedan with phenomenal performance, no need for the M5. 
 
1.  Box is pretty impractical, plus I sense you've "fallen out of love" with it.  No guy should drive the "new" VW Beetle, sorry...that's "Man Law". 
 
2a.  If you're going to get a BMW, get a new one with the free maintenance for 50K.  BMW maintenance/repair is not much cheaper than Porsche out of warranty. 
 
2b.  Not a fan of the 996, nor the 986 (whoops, did I say that out loud?). 
 
2c.  Not bad... 
 
2d.  That would be a tragedy... 
 
2e.  I know I wouldn't personally want to be operated on by a Doc driving a WRX. 
 
2f.  New body shape isn't bad 
 
2g.  Meh... 
 
There's a new 300HP Lexus IS out, although it's still coming up second in most reviews to the 3-series.
