I have the same dilemma. My lease is up on my 06 330i in Feb 07 so I started some early comparisons. First, I test drove the Cayman and was truly impressed. Then I test drove the Z-4, it had a rough ride and the only thing I could see out of the rear-view mirror was the front grille of cars and front bumpers of trucks, kinda un-nerving. I have yet to drive the Cayman S or the 335ic. The new Cayman S is seriously out of my budget, so I would have to go with a CPO Cayman S. The 335ic is nice, and there are a host of great things that people on this forum are doing with them, but I guess I'm not as excited as I used to be about BMW's. The M3 was a little disappointing, but I guess like a so-so CD, it has to grow on ya. So now that I've digressed a bit it seems that you have a hard decision on your hands, but one things for sure, if you're going to buy a Cayman, please buy the S, CPO'd or go with the 335 new with all the bells and whistles. Just my 2cents!!!
