I've got a Z3 "M" that I picked up in late 2001 for about $7000 off list. It is one of the quickkest stock cars I've ever owned. The buzzing exhaust sound mentioned sounds more like ripping metal from behind. What you hear in the cockpit is not what others hear. With 315 hp it fairly hauls ass. It might not handle quite as well as a Boxster, but I can see the engine and a Boxster "S" will not stand a chance in a stoplight drag race. These were 2 very important issues for me. Being an "old" street racer, stop light drag races are in my blood; sorry.
And fwiw, it requires some skill to drive at the limits and; as one friend put it, it's a millenium Cobra. You drive this car, it doesn't drive you. Did I mention it was $20,000 less?
Regards,
Tom
