Congrats it does look a lovely car
I think if you made the jump you wouldn't look back. Life's too short as they say and sometimes worth is more than a number.
Surprised you haven't jumped on one of these cheap M coupes thought that would have your name all over it.

Come 6-30am on a summer Sunday when I like to slope off for a drive I just don't see the appetite for it with a fixed roof car enjoying the Si coupe through winter but it's a different ownership to a roadster.

997 vert i reckon...
981 Boxster...
E92 M3 vert
M2 are good,drive well and go great,interior trim is gasharama though,and that N55 is throwing the odd wobbler now.
M4's are getting cheap but there is always loads for sale.
Maybe go for Z4M coupe or 35is ? You love the Z's so may as well complete the set with the top model from each era?

The E92 verts have had a fair amount of positive press recently slated on launch people starting to warm to them and <50k mile cars for <£17k they are quite a paletable option. One round the corner from me very tempted to go have a test drive...

If you catch the E92 M3 in a decent cycle of its life it could be a shrewd buy..
Get caught out with one that needs rod bearings,actuators and brakes though and it could get costly quickly.

now, i know there is a bit of difference between my 2006 2,0 zed and this one, but 10,000 pounds difference seems insane
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.

My dad has the coupe for 2-3 years and tbh it was a bit meh compared to the e46 but bit of a different car more grown up comfortable and less chuckable.
They are about 200kg heavier but at the end of the day similar to the e89 if you want a fast a-b that seats more than 2 that you can use all year round with the folding hard top it’s not a bad option. Plus there isn’t much under 20k that gives that level of use the e46 vert is a horrendous car you can literally feel the chassis wobble over every bump.
Those kind of cars like my 4s the experience is complexly different.the noise of the induction and exhaust is really incredible vs a coupe
When I was a bit younger I thought the same with no compromise low weight and stiff but really if you think of actual use and priorities not one of my own cars will see a track and the weight aspect is much less of an issue. Unless it’s designed specifically as a roadster then there are always compromises and really there aren’t that many big engined roadsters around.

And you know what all the Porsche guys say ?
"If you wanna go fast,buy a 911....But dont try and keep up with the 981's or you will die."

Congratulations, Andy! Will be interesting to see if the new owner makes himself known on the Forum and is up for a drive with the 'Kent Chapter'.
