The car if budgets nor family practicalities mattered

Looking at the car driving side rather than the Money Saving Expert aspect, I was wondering what car people would get if they had a budget of up to around £125,000 for a new/ nearly new car if you didnt have to worry about the practicalities of fitting kids in the back etc?
Given this is MSE though of cause extra rules have to be added - you can only have 1 car rather than splitting it over different vehicles, you dont get any residual cash if the car is under budget and its not a "I'd buy a 911, sell it and keep using my Dacia Duster" type thing either :A

New M5, they do everything well

Ford Capri. It'd cost about £300 but the repairs would take up the rest!0

have your consultancy fees gone up per chance?
BMW M1
Or
E28 Alpina B7 Turbo
Or, a properly sorted Jensen Interceptor (proper cooling system, no engine bay fires etc etc)

Unfortunately not, and have current car for another 15 months anyway.0 -
The new Tesla saloon sounds like it would be amazing to drive.0

Possibily an M5 as someone else suggested, but more than likely a Cayenne Turbo, as the M5 would'nt be so practical for towing a horse box. Was fortunate enough to have had a Cayenne Turbo for a short while previously and it is a suprisingly fun car to drive, but the boot is stupidly small for such a large car.0

As above, A Capri or an old Cortina estate fully restored. Or an old 80's Volvo barge estate. :cool:0

Can we drop the new / nearly new criteria? Seems a bit unfair on those of us who prefer to keep our cars and PCs separate!
If so, I'll have a BMW E3 3.0S auto thanks 0
