BMW M3 Cabrio vs Porsche Cayman S

well, dream.

O, n my M-Spec gets around 17mpg, or some where around there, but i really couldnt care bout mpg with my prescious car, and i wouldnt sell it either, dont plan too.!

Gt, if I myself owned the dealership, i wouldnt have done such a stupid move, cause selling that Veyron would have bought my buisness ALOT more money. but if i had to pick one, too keep, without the option of selling, its the ZR1 for Sure! cause if i had the Veyron, id sell it!! (Shocking)? bam, thats $1.6m in my hands! then i could buy 20cars!! (wouldnt buy 20 though):)

No, it was the reason I sold the car.

Do you feel nostalgia for bad fuel economy?

Ah, just like my old XR4i.

I do at the moment.... the best I get is 16mpg or 170 miles on a tank....

You would have great fun between petrol stations. :)

P.S. without the wife I'd have the Z06

The "what you could buy for that money" question always has a lot of variable that aren't always so clear cut..... I have the M3 Vert because I have a family so 3 seats was the minimum..... family = wife = convertible "or you ain't having it at all"...... so from that list above the only other option was the S5 which I tried (wrote a full review here if you look in the articles tab at the bottom of the FL home page)..... it was ok but the M3 vert was quicker than the S5 Coupe and the S5 cab didn't exist when I bought..... if it had we'd go back to the wife conversation and then it would have gone back to the M3 Vert as it was cheaper to lease than the Audi.....

My sister is a dental nurse. The dentists cars are always the same. M3, Cayman or Boxster. For me where Porsche is concerned, it's 911 or nothing. Cayman or Boxster is what you buy the missus.

And it all depends on where you live, the Corvette is like GB90k over there! and preference. and tat color is....Interesting on the E92 to say the least.

With that same money, you could buy:

Audi S5
Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZO6
Audi TT-RS
Shelby Mustang Cobra GT500
Cadillac CTS-V
Porsche Boxter Spyder

Just to name a few in that price range. But we all have different tastes, but id go for the GT500 and S5!!!!

LOL Only if the M3 wasnt the Cabrio!...Maybe:)

If it was BumRush he'd probably have the Cayman as well ;-)

its my M3 in the picture

I am sure it was necessary to point that out :D

both are great transmissions with very good shift times,i didnt have the chance to try any though,i just wanna say that this comparison between the cayman s and m3 cabrio doesnt mean pdk

Yes I agree and its my M3 in the picture..... the Cayman is a different type of car so not the best comparison.

Ill just stick with a Proper 6-Speed Manual! a Real Drivers Choice XD but i gotta admit, That PorscheDoppelKupplung is quite the Tranny!
