My response may dissappoint many here but here it is:

I was looking for a good handling rwd manual car, with xenons (i do a lot of night driving), that can take golf bags. Surprising there were very few cars that could take golf bags in the boot without folding the back seats down (this was a killer criteria)... Other cars that fit the above criteria were the IS250 and that was about it... the new 3 series and merc c class cant do it when you put the good sound system in...!!!...

Anyway it came down to the 125i BMW coupe and the Z, bang for your buck the Z won hands down, it looked better so it was a no brainer in the end... What would surprise people here is that as long as the car was sub 0-100km/h in under 7s it fit my buying criteria... if there was a 2.5L version of the Z and it did 0-100 in 6.8s, i'd get it =) don't shoot me...
