Default £20k to spend and options

Ok

Ive just sold my v8 kit car and have some cash kicking around

Looking to spend upto £20k on next plaything

I have currently an Audi A6 Tdi for daily hack

Do i

A. Sell that and have circa £30k to spend and buy one car that covers play and hacking every day

B. Spend £20k on something more unusal and fun


Now there are a couple of things to bear in mind


1. I have a HEAVY right foot so reliability is importnat
2. Im 6'9" tall so need to fit in it
3. i do 50,000 miles a year with work so fuel economy and running costs are important
4. Im no longer 22years old

My thoughts are

Under A

Audi A5 3.0tdi
Audi A6 3.0tdi le mans


Under B

E46 M3 with cash to play with
Porsche 911


What would you do

Mitsi Evo IX FQ360 as a 2nd car and keep the hack is prob what I'd do. Although a charged E46 M3 would be fun too.
