or 06/07 BMW M coupe? That's what I ended up with. 07 CPO with 4 years of warranty/100,000 miles (and they even pay for the oil changes) ran me 37k. 06 will run 32k about.

To me it was more fun than a Cayman S. May not beat the Z on the track (almost sure it won't), but it feels faster and is more fun for me than any other car I drove. The engine is bloody amazing! American mags didn't like it much, but the Brits love the thing. Check out this review that helped me make up my mind: BMW Z4 M Coupe vs Porsche Cayman S - Feeling the burn - Top Gear - right on the money
Oh, and the thing comes with a concierge button... wtf!
