Johnny - I looked at that earlier, but think the 630i may represent better value.

 @ woody got to love the optimism given the choice of a v10 S6 @95k or continued pork fisting I'd go long on KY

MPG 25+ Was going to say Z4 3.0 Coupe or an early 987 Box on the OP scheme, but seems you need rear seats. Not easy to genuinely hit all those targets, especially the sporty bit...

Was going to add 130 but now think maybe thats the wrong direction much as I'd love one of the Clios being suggested. Left field: http://used.mercedes-benz.co.uk/used/2005/mercedes...

I would be coming from a yellow lighted, white pork with red wheels. There's the rub, the Porsche is always going to be more exciting than anything reliable at that rate (well, a Caterham probably tops it but then practicality goes)

There happens to be an AUC 630i just down the road from me.
