You have good taste! I had a 2000 Boxster and 2009 Cayman and would have a 718 today if I had the room and toy budget. I can’t think of a better drivers car for canyon carving fun.I’m not a big fan of any BMW this past decade, but if there was one I’d get it would be the M2 manual.
Fortunately I have both the ‘73 e9 and a 718 Spyder manual. Two cars I consider perfect for me for various reasons
