I'll take the Lexus. Sure, the M4, with it's turbo engine, would be easy to mod and a blast to drive, but I have heard too many horror stories about late model German reliability. If I could lease, absolutely, but only for the warranty period, not a day longer.

(I drive too many miles for a lease to be economical)

Heh, I have the exact opposite opinion. I really don't like any BMWs except for their coupes. And I REALLY like the M4.

A guy with a gold one parked next to me and I chatted with him awhile while checking it out. It's just a badass car.

I will be test driving an automatic this weekend, but I would wait until the 2015 model in manual if I were to get one. I also checked out a Stingray and a Camaro ZL1, but I like the toned-down look of a Benz.

Not sure what to do with my Z...

Nope, not just you on Mercedes, some cars just look better with 4 doors. My GTI has 4 doors, to me it looks much better than 2 door version.

How are you liking the M235i? I test drove one when I was looking to trade my 328i and absolutely loved it.
