Ok I think I win for biggest change in daily driver! I just sold my '05 Lotus Elise 4 days ago and can't wait to pick up my '06 SMG/black IS350 on Monday! It's loaded with sport, luxury, ML nav, park sens, full gfx kit, etc...
Here's my old toy... I was putting 3k miles a month on her as well as running autocrosses! At 1980 lbs, the IS is nearly twice the weight but I'm gonna love having luxury options like power steering and even cupholders!!!

I might be the second greatest change in daily driver after Conrad...
The finance guy at Nalley-Roswell in ATL bought it the day that I traded it in. Wish I had talked to him about it before I signed the papers because we probably both could have saved some money that way

Swisha - I remember seeing those pics on e46fanatics; welcome aboard!
There have been alot of extremes since I started this thread, but conradEOD's Lotus and martidp's lifted Ford are very extreme; wow! So far the IS 350 has cured my desire to switch to anything else...in other words, it's a keeper!
Keep the replacements flowing!
Almost forgot LX470s 2006 Porsche Cayman S

Yep, you cannot help but miss BMWs handling and that steering wheel (perfect thickness), but 306 is a rush, helps put doubts (doubters to rest).
To tell you the truth, I was tempted by the 335i and now the 535i, but past reliability has helped to put those thoughts at ease; however, the possibility of a hard top IS350 may push me over the edge...I've been doing so good.
