Cayman S
Z4M (coupe probably)
Evo MR feck off 3#0
I don't want something old as it'll be my everyday car. And ideally I don't want it to cost tooooo much to run (hence list of cars with RMS, vanos, 5 minute service schedules) but you know what I mean. No 3200gts or whatever.

Ideally I want it as small as possible. If you could buy a 300bhp 4wd bini I'd stick with the marque.

The other bin I look at is 135is, often but are they special...

but, but, but...

the maseratti does near enough the same mpg, has more power, looks alot nicer than a 3 series, and it's £1,000 cheaper to start with...equate the £1000 saving to fuel and it's 3000 miles worth of fuel...for what it's worth tongue out that's what I'd have if I was spending that money hehe but each to their own, if the OP wants a beema get a beema smile

IIRC there's a BMW isetta floating around (may be a few) with a GSXR1000 engine in it, that would be ideal, super small and rocket powered, rofl

I really love them.
Muchly.
But.... Do I really want one in November in the snow. Although winter tyres an option. Also whilst I like small cars I am actually big : 6'3.5 and 16 and half stone.... Unless it had one of those gull wing hard tops like the black Elise in the classifieds it's a bit hard in a car park...

Which is a shame. And I think I need to half just the one car.

Any views on the 135? Cheaper to run and perhaps more useable than the others. Do the turbos pack up?!

A 987cs would be bad ass though eh?!

M3 cs nice. But I have seen a 2 yr younger z4m coupe in a nice livery same miles for same price. And that's a more appealing to me. Sort of.

I have always quite liked europas but hey never got cheap enough and the. They all went to the Far East and prices went up...

The 3.0 z4 is borderline. My mate has one And bil wants one... And that makes me want a 3.2 ! ;-)
