I've got the Cayman S as a remote possibility since i don't know anything about Porsche maintenance cost or insurance cost. The dealership down the street has one in the low $40ks.

I find the 1st-gen Z4 to be a chick car. get the Cayman S!!!!!!! Save up for your maintenance costs though

Because the OP said that an S in the low 40s 'might' be an option. My friend with the Cayman S, with the ceramic brakes sold his for 40 because he is a residential surveyor and had to dump it, unfortunately, he did it two weeks after we got our last Z4, or we would have had his instead.

Thanks for the support guys!

What do you guys think of this, a rendering of the 2011 1M or M1:

Looks like a retro BMW 2002. Not for me, thanks.

a guy that lives down the street from me traded in his BMW M coupe for a 370z...

thats not an M1, its a 135i with M package option, to class that car with a 3 or 5 would be blasphemy. Its like the cavalier of BMW and people know this.

whiddles · 04-11-2010, 02:34 PM

could always get the G37S

Dont be in denial man, a true M car based on the 1 series is coming real soon and it will be measured against the 370, among others. There is news it will have a more unique customization program with matte paint options, all M paint options, CF options, etc. We will know for sure in Dec.

Nobody here in denial, i could give a shyt less what BMW offers, more of them on the street than mustangs. Especially, ESPECIALLY a 1 series bottom of the barrel bargain coupe.

is it me or are the headlights of the 1 series the worst part?

Mustache grill, stubby ass end, non existent back seats, cheap interior, its a "1" series, the list goes on.
