Just come back from test driving a m135i and decided to sell my Cayman S and ordered one. Now the Cayman is the far better car but I'm getting the BMW on a great fully maintained business lease which will save me cash per month and zero maintenance costs.

As I say it's not as good a drivers car as the Cayman but it is a fantastic machine it goes like ste of a shovel and is a very nice place to sit. It also makes a great noise I believe some of this fakery? But TBH I'm not bothered it sounded good to me.

Just got to sell the Cayman now!

Thought you were going for the 235i?

Can you get the factory sports exhaust or LSD for the 135i?

What a funny old world, I am in the process of trying to find a 2.7 Cayman to replace my M135i!

I wanted the 235i but it was way more money per month so opted for the hatchback, I've done this purely for financial reasons so the coupe didn't make any sense even though it's the nicer car.

FWIW it's a 3+23 business lease deal it's £380 per month inc VAT fully maintained.

Have you test drove the Cayman yet? It's in a different league to the Beemer as a driving tool but I would find the 2.7 a little sluggish compared to the Beemer.
