I am planning on getting a CPO '09 Cayman-S with PDK when my BMW is turned in early next summer. They are starting to crack the <$50k barrier, figure they should be mid-40's by the time I'm ready.
I like the torque of my 335i, but I find it got boring after having it for a few months. There's nothing like winding up a NA engine to high RPM's, the x35 engine is better at low RPM's, but runs out of steam qucikly.
I have considered a 135i with DCT, but the Cayman handles so much better and I still have concerns about the HPFP issue.
Test drove a M3 with DCT (used) a few weeks ago, really liked the car, but can't see buying something with such poor gas mileage.
I'd like to start doing some DE's and I don't think the 135i would fare as well as either the Cayman or M3 on the track, without some mods, especially tires.
The free maintainence with new BMW's is nice, I know I'll be paying much more on the P-car, but I'm ready to make the move.
