If you can manage it, get both. And then see if you want to keep both or keep the one that speaks to you. You can by a good 964 and keep it for a year and not lose any money, and your 850 will hold it's value.....then let your heart decide. Life is short....I always wanted one, and made up my mind (with my wifes permission) to get one.
Well said. And love the recent changes. You just need to kill those silly orange corner lights and use the Euro ones.

If you're really adventurous, you can cane the bumperettes too.

I had two friends with E31's, both have since had various Porsches and neither have bought another BMW. Not sure if there's a message in there or not.
