Which sport car 10-12K max?

I could EASILY afford to buy it outright cash so please do not assume to know my situation. I'd rather not lose 12K from my bank balance just like that. Another reason I would like to finance it is because my dad owns a garage and I can get a special deal where i'm paying back hardly any interest so i'd rather just see it come out of my monthly wage than have my savings take a nosedive for a car. Anyways i'm guessing 10,000 - 12,000 miles as i've had my Juke since mid October and that's on about 4,500 miles. I'm really liking the 3 series coupe at the moment.

God the costs do mount up don't they. Good thing i've got time i'd rather just get a warranty with the car i'd purchase rather than worry. Least I know what i'll be in for costs wise a month and no nasty surprises.
 
I only have 1 years NCB and live in a good area. S2000 £1,600 no thanks. I don't want one anyways I've already stated that :)
 
Right guys I've compiled a list of the cars I want in order of what I want the most to the least. Realistically I think I'll either end up with a Z4 or 3 series coupe as the other two will most likely be out of budget if I have to consider keeping cash aside for potential problems.

Mercedes Benz C Class Sport (Would like 18" Alloys, leather seats)
New shape Audi TT
New shape 3 series coupe (M Sport)
Z4 (M Sport post facelift 2006 model)
A4 Cabriolet
Nissan 350z (High spec)

I'm pretty neutral on the A4 Cabriolet and 350Z. I'd personally enjoy the 350Z a lot more but fuel costs aside I think it's seen as a bit chavvy! And with the A4 I guess it's a bit bland? But comfortable no doubt and 4 good sized seats for others to enjoy my car along with me.
 
I've decided upon a 3 Series Coupe M Sport. Perfect model will be a 325 or 320. 330 will be a bit too much on petrol and 335 is too much petrol and insurance.

Ideally something like this:

I have to wait until October anyway's so I can claim my one years NCB so prices will go down a bit by then hopefully.

EDIT: Just seen theres like 0 difference economy wise between a 325 and a 330 (didn't realise the 325 was a 3 litre). So I guess any model except a 335.
