Z4MC or M2 OG or 987.2S

Thoughts?

Which do you guys think I’d loose the least money on based on depreciation / running costs etc over 3-5 years. Will be my daily, averaging 8-10k miles a year
If money didn’t come into, I still wouldn’t be able to decide.

What will be more sought after in 5 years time out of the three?

I have a Z4MR and a Cayman 987.2. For a daily the Cayman is hands down a different league. On a sunny day for a hoon I think I would choose the Z4M but for everything else the Cayman.

I'm confident I can sell both cars for more than I paid and they're both benchmark cars in their respective niches. The Porsche running costs and parts are higher however the gen 2 is fairly robust (I hope I don't have to find out). The Porsche is significantly better built, better riding and better behaved however it doesn't make it more boring as you can take more liberties with a more exploitable limit.

I've taken it on track and had a blast, I don't fancy the Z4M on track as I think it would be similar to taking an untrained dog to the park and never seeing it again :D

My advice would be buy both.
