You're 20 years old....buy a house if you can afford a 335i.

So many different options.... since I am a college student and I only work part time I don't make much. But if anything it would be one of these:
05-07 Legacy GT sedan 5MT - don't like styling of 08+MY
91-93 MR2 5MT - would be a project car anyway so turbo or NA doesn't matter, 94-95 are too expensive.
91-98 240SX 5MT - turbo the DOHC KA or a swap, another project car
95-99 Maxima 5MT
That's all I could come up with. Most cars I want/like are Hondas or Acuras.

I am pretty much deadset on getting a 335 as my next car. The question is when? I plan on upgrading to a better lot with my next house, and that is going to cost me double what I payed for mine now. Reason being? It is pratically across the street, but I am paying a premium for waterfront property. The house might actually be smaller........lol
When I make sure I have my finances in order after making the move(I'll check these out):
335i
335xi
535i
a5
s5
At least this is what I have my eye on right now. I don't think I'll be in the market for a car until summer of 08. Actually, I don't even need to be in the market next summer, as my 04 TL only has 45k on it.

BMW 335 (likely sedan rather than coupe; would consider a 5-series, depending in disposable $$)
Cadillac CTS
Infiniti G sedan

Realistically... if they fix the issues with the new tranny, I'd love to get a new Lexus ES or loaded Camry.
If money were no object, I'd get:
1) Lexus LS 460 L (daily driver)
2) Lexus GS 350 AWD (bad weather)
3) Used (duh) Ferrari 308 GTS (weekend car)

A couple of possibilities:
- BMW 335 coupe
- Infiniti M45
But, I've pretty much all buy ruled out buying a car for the next year or so.

My grandmom has one and loves it. If you price out the SL model you can get a really good bang for the buck with it.
As far as me if I didnt get my Acura and wasnt able to do honda I probably would have gone with Toyota. I cant afford a new car and I wanted something thats very reliable with cheap maintenance. I heard Nissan has improved a lot but the older models werent as great. I dont mean horrible just not up to toyota and honda.

besides the s2k, i've never liked honda/acuras 
I just somehow ended up with like 3 of them.
I've always been a toyota/lexus fan. but i'd also consider the LGT, STi, Evo, mazdaspeed3 depending on my budget.

I was pretty much settled for The 07 G35S until I test drove the 335i. I'd own a Lexus ,Infiniti has a very nice current line-up and it seems to me that brands like Mazda(Cx-9,Cx7) are coming up nicely along the way.

Wow, a lot of people on here like either BMW or Infiniti.
Wake up call to Honda/Acura? Your cars are reliable and the interiors are sweet, but the styling on your cars and performance of your cars are just average!

Maybe, but you still get a semi luxury car at a decent price...
