Thinking of what's next

Owned this amazing car for about a year, and now just ready to be back in a coupe and manual again.

This is only my second car so I kind of want something that isn't perfect in everything lol. Funny to say I know. But thinking a ZL1 1LE. Trying to find something manual under 100k. It's easy for me to leave knowing I'll be back in a M5 (unless BMW ruins the look) in 5-7 years because I must say its perfect...

Thoughts suggestions?
P.S thought about a manual g80 but have only owned BMW so want to try other cars while I'm young before I likely come back.

What about a Porsche? Seems to be the natural progression for BMW owners.

I agree with the Porsche suggestions as well. If you would consider an automatic gearbox, the S Class coupe could be an option.

How about a C7 Corvette? Good enough for daily duties, fast enough, and strong aftermarket support.

I would say a 997 turbo as well but man those have gone up like crazy and I don't think they'll ever come back down.

I have a 997.1 6 spd. I'm glad I got it when I did because they have gone in up in value. It's a fun car alongside the m5.

Super jealous. I wish I was in a better financial position and the time I was eyeing them. Low KM ones were going for 70k cad at that time.
