BMW - Long in the Tooth

2011 - Long in the Tooth
I hate having to replace my car because the lease is coming up - and at the same time I don't want to buy the old car (above) because there is a point of diminishing returns and even at 3 years and 31K, it's still damned expensive to buy.  The dealership has called four or five times to get me back through the doors so that they can reload me into another expensive (but infinitely cool) BMW. My dealer is full of suggestions...

Though I have this unrealistic child-like dream that cars should last forever, they simply don't. However turning in a three year old car that's immaculate and still smells new seems sinfully wrong.

It's time to think long and hard on what the new ride needs to be. And how much money do I have to part with to get the handling, comfort and power of my BMW? --Without buying a BMW?

Decisions - Decisions - Decisions. Frankly I want a Ford Raptor and may split the baby by buying something cheaper and yet acceptable such as a Honda Accord so that I can also justify buying a Raptor.

What do you all think?
