Caporegime
Dear denizens of motors, as much as I love the 640d I'm looking to trade it in for something more fun! It really is a great car in all aspects except for handling and parking. It is frankly a barge.
My short-list so far has a bit of variation and is a fairly eclectic mix so let me know your thoughts;
981 Boxster s. Quick enough. Handles brilliantly. Looks brilliant. Cheapest are around 35k which is more than I'd like to spend. Expensive to maintain.
981 Cayman s. See above. Looks better. More expensive again.
None s versions of the above. Cheaper to buy and run. Really felt the loss of power.
Z4 35is. Quick. Handling is ok, significantly better steering feel on post 2013 models which is a must. Like the interiors. Tech is a bit dated. Rare as rocking horse crap atm.
E9x m3. That engine! Old tech. Bland interior. Pricey to run and service.
F8x m3/4. Goes like stink. Looks great. More than I want to spend. Expensive to service. Interiors aren't as nice as what I'm used to.
m2. Same as porsche. Looks don't tickle me.
Mx40i. Cheaper than the m cars. Loads of choice on the market especially for sub 30k. Not as fun although still have great engines. Interiors are awful.
