Sorry to hear, sky! I am sure you will be happy with the Cayman S. Man, if the Cayman R would have been priced a tad cheaper, that would probably have been under serious consideration, but you add a sprinkle of options and in a typical Porsche way you are in 6-digit territory.

Sorry to hear of all this hassle. In principle I agree with you and am on your side. Let me ask you this, would it have held true if you bought say an M3? I am thinking that some of the rationale behind BMW killing your order is that all countries seem to have a quota, more or less. Imagine everyone fleeing to Germany for a 1///M, it can easily be exhausted on 'foreigners' and they are trying to protect their home buyers. Just my 2 cents.
