New, Need some advice.

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this site and I need some advice. Currently, I own a B5 Audi A4 1.8t quattro with a few mods: Vmaxx Coilovers, APR chip, DV, Borla, and some Rs4 reps on it.
I feel the need to upgrade and I'm thinking about getting a 355 as a weekend car. One thing that I need help with as mods for the 355 and another is that once I get the 355, I think I will need a new daily also. Any suggestions? It needs to be a sedan, somewhat sporty. Thank you so much.

Maybe. The CC is a good looking car but I'm looking for a little bit more performance even if that means getting an older car like the e36 m3 sedan. I'm open to any suggestions and I guess it could be a hatch such as the mkiv gti.

Obviously a PPI is very important on the 355. Watch out for the timebomb issues - exhaust manifolds and headers, valve guides, window regulators, suspension leaks, etc. I would definitely recommend a new coil over suspension and full exhaust as mods to avoid issues with stock parts.

As far as daily driver cars, I love the S55 AMG Merc.

Yes, I know I have Vmaxx coils on my car. I bought the Audi as my first car when I was 16 and put a bit of money into it but, I always wanted something a lot nicer so I didn't go overboard like a planned to do a BAT build. So, now that I have finished college and I'm still not married I have some disposable income. I'm happy that I didn't buy more mods for my car or something like Stasis coils for my car because my saving up has paid off in the long run. Thanks for the suggestion about the Merc, and the coils and full exhaust. Much appreciated guys!
