Had a Z4 2.5 (YES AUTOMATIC ) for 3 years before I got the 986S.

Great car, the run flat tires simply just SUCK so avoid them at all costs if you decide to go with the BMW.

Driving wise, forget it the Boxster (especially the S) hands-down impresses the most.

The Z4 for me is a great looker, good performer and overall a good "cruise-in-style" vehicle compared to the classic looks and track-racing-inspired Boxster.

I am only 22 and I will tell you first hand that the BMW Z4 is the hottest car-toy to have now if that's what you are looking for. Top the free service with that and you got yourself a nice deal!

In fact, after my BoxsterS I am definitely leaning towards an MCoupe.

The new M-Coupe is hot! But yeah, my condolences on the looks of the old M-coupe, even tho it does seem to perform well and it is marginally practical.

I almost got a 2001 M-coupe just because it was cheap enough and had the good engine. But to add insult to injury, it was the old M-coupe in...vomit yellow. It was -really- cheap, but yeah, nothing worse than a clown shoe...except a clown shoe that's been thrown up on!

In the mall I work in we got a red M coupe in. I walk by it all the time to look in it. Its pretty cool, but the kicker is its stickered at 55 grand. Not cheap by any means, but a hell of bargain compared to a lot of things.

The styling grows on you, doesn't it?
