im looking for another car under 30k.
Right now im thinking about purchasing an E55 amg with a tune and pulley which puts down good numbers and should run mid 11's.
I test drove one this weekend and its a great car but i dont know if i want another slushbox.
I really want something thats as fast if not faster than my 335i, and i also want something thats really fun to drive.
Besides the E55 i was thinking:
P-car (manual)
C6 corvette (with some mods they get going pretty quick)
Any other suggestions besides these 2?

Problem with the E55 is that it's a sub $30k car that still fixes like a $90k one. Can't jump in with the assumption nothing will go wrong. If fun to drive is important, you MIGHT be able to find an E60 M5 for about 30k if you wait a few months, but you still have the repair issue.
Porsche has the same problem as the E55 plus you likely won't a good one under $30k.
C6 Vette (or maybe a C5 Z06) looks like the best bet, but will you be ok with the ... Cheviness of the car, coming from a BMW? If you're ok with that, then I'd throw a 2006-08 GT500 into the mix. Makes flunk-out-of-1st-grade stupid amounts of power for less than $1000 in mods.
