993, Cayman S, 135i, or E46 M3?
Ok, I'm a little stuck in my decision making regarding the purchase of my next commuter. I commute 45 miles roundtrip 4 days per week. I loath conventional commuters of any type. Nothing with front wheel drive interests me even remotely. I live and breath driving great cars so might as well commute in one. My budget is $30k give or take a couple of thousand. A used Cayman S is still a little out of my price range right now. The 135I is about the right price but lacks the apeal of any Porsche although I think it's a great little rocket. I've read nothing but grief regarding 996's, hence, my considering the 993. I'm also a little nervous about the reliability of the E46 M3 as a commuter warraneted or not. Please weigh in with your opinions regarding whether a 993 with low miles or Cayman S should even be considered for commuting. Alternatively, do you think a Bimmer M3 or the 135I would make a better choice. Many thanks in advance for your responses!
