Hallo everyone.

I have a bit of a problem that maybe some of you guys might be able to help me with. I am in a tricky position whereby I might need to relocate for work, this would mean selling my flat (not for much, haven't had it for long!) but I would suddenly have roughly 20-25k to 'play' with.

Now, the temptation to go YOLO and splash out on a nice car is of course very tempting. I've owned a z4 3.0i roadster before and loved it, but did over-use it for commuting reasons and if I was to get another BMW it'd need to be a special M car, and another Z. Love the shape, drive and presence it carries.

So... Back to the issue... There are good Caymans available for circa 20k, 25k could even stretch to a 2009 low mile example.

So between a z4m with sub-50k miles (as an investment as well as a weekend or sunny day toy) and a well-kept Cayman... What to go for!

Did think of a lotus or TVR but as i'm only 25, I'd rather wait a while and save more before going for cars like these. I'm after something fast, that'll hold it's value well, and turn heads. Z4m Coupes are catching my eye at the moment with some rather nice examples on the classifieds in the 14-17k region. I'm leaning toward them over the Caymans for the rarity, investment (???) potential and looks!

Cheers, apologies for the essay.
