An alternative within your budget could be E63 AMG, but only the one with the proper AMG 6.2L V8.
As big V8s go, they are impressive, 500bhp, 7500 rpm and no superchargers or turbos to worry about.  XFR's very nice too, the supercharged 5Litre is tuned for low end torque, but I'd be worried about reliability, especially transmission and electrics.

Dont make it any harder!

I couldn't resist browsing autotrader looking at E62 AMGs. The V8 biturbos are sexy!

Tilbo how is your colleagues car? I'm looking at facelift MY2011-2012

Stemo, Has His Majesty got one?

 
Off the top of my head I think a 2009/10 it has a private plate on so can't really say for sure.

It's a 15 plate, as shown in his pics. 

I think he was talking about his colleagues car.

Opti, Why did you sell the black one?

I'm considering buying one of these in 6-12 months.

5.0 V8, 510bhp, sensible insurance (surprisingly) road tax is probably in the £500+ bracket though. Not gonna be great on fuel but not a problem.

I dont expect maintenance to be cheap but how reliable are they? I can probably live with one big bill and service a year.

Or should I get something newer with some warranty but not as fast? E.g. a BMW 340i F30 - I know there's not much love for beemers here but please try to be objective 

20k budget

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.

Slight change of plans. The wife wants a BMW 1 Series, she has never shown any interest in cars but apparently has always wanted one
