Do you want a proper roadster, or do you need four seats?

The z4 (here anyway) is the more expensive option, but is more of a headturner than an e88. From what I hear, the z4 is more of a bastard to work on than a 1er.

If you don't need 4 seats, I'd go a z4 or Boxter S. If you have a family, the 128i will be your choice.

... if you want the fastest speed in a straight line for the least money, a FBO 135i is hard to beat.
married, but no kids. I had a 135i (n54) before so I know what its capable of...but its a ticking time bomb of problems. I thought the z4 engine bay looked pretty wide open the last time I saw one in person. Hopefully its not that hard to work on if I go that direction.
