Thinking about a BMW M Coupe

Jeph, wish I could help you, but I cannot think of anything negative to say about that little booger.

Top Gear likes the Boxster better! And so do I!

Never driven one, but I would expect handling to still be excellent even though its no boxster. That M would totally kill a box in a straight line too. The only issue I see w/ the car is that IMO its a tad ugly. If prices were equal, I would take an M roadster over a boxster

Also, you'll be giving up on gas mileage. I can't comment well on expected maintenance costs, but my dad's 330 has had a bunch of small things but no major issues. It is no lexus and I would expect M models cost a lot more than regular BMWs to keep up.

I never liked the looks of the z4 ragtop but I have to say, the coupe looks really really great to me.

I have driven the M3 couple and thought it was indeed, quite fast. Handled just fine too.

Tough call.

Either way, you win.

:dance:

Wow, I had no idea that the Cayman S was 10-20K more expensive.
