Yea I know that but the Boxster isn't no where near as nice as the Cayman S IMO.

Enjoy the new BMW! Reliability won't be an issue. It's a solid car. I know a few people that have 335i's and no one has had even a single issue. And so much more fun to drive than the Lexus.

Agreed.....90% of the time. But sometimes it's so sweet to drop the top.

IS-F or Cayman S would be an easy choice for me:

Yes, I do like that fact that people are always mistaking it for a Toyota. It is very low-key. A nice feature.

A BMW troll!
Just read some of your anti Lexus posts.
Did a Lexus run over your dog?

insider please exit this thread and take some time to read this post. Your welcome is wearing thin on Club Lexus... if you continue to insult the members of this forum you can go ahead and leave now and save me the trouble of banning you.

You guys have low standards... that girl in the pic is like an OC 5 at best.

Back to the topic, BMW's are nice rides.. Too bad the lower ones are getting more and more expensive. We're testing the new Turbo version 3 series here for a body kit and it cost the owner a grip.. .60k full loaded. Interior looks fine.

If I had the funds now, I'd take the Cayman also over the 3.... still young, might as well live a little.
