If that launches you into the $250-300K a year crowd, you're pulling in $15k+ a month net (at the higher tax brackets)...

You've a house in Dallas, probably low mortgage rate if it's new. I'd lease an M3 for now as a DD, sock $5K a month into a conservative investment vehicle, and in three years buy your dream car outright. The then freed up $5k/mo cash flow can go to maintenance and insurance.
