the buget isn`t really the problem, but as i said before i think the Boxter is the Porsche for people who don`t have the money for a real one...

I thought the same at the beginning, but with the time, now I think the Boxster is the best Porsche without a roof, to have fun with, during summer

But I can understand what you mean and there is plenty of ppl buying a Boxster just to be able to say they're driving a Porsche...

i already test drove the 3.0 with SMG and yes it`s nice but i`m not keen on it.

the new MetallicA cd is...how can i say????
you know i`m a die hard fan from day one, spent all my money on their stuff when i was a kid, and now i probably have one of the biggest collections. so everybody likes the old stuff and of course Kill, Master, Ride, Black... are also my favourite albums, but on the other hand i really like Load/Reload. St-Anger is very new or different to me, of course i like it but all the way from Kill to Reload the albums sounded immediately like a MetallicA album, and i miss that with St-Anger. but maybe we all need some time to hear it through....and in august i`ll be at a live concert and i`m sure afer that there`ll be no worries...
btw what`s your opinion?????
i hated it, it was boaring. i have only listened 2 it.
but i like the st. anger song and film clip

fuck it, my dealer promised me that i can pick up my Z4 in a couple of weeks and today i got a call that all Z4`s that are available around here are sold or whatever.... :x
so he told me that it seems like i`ve to wait untill august, but i`m not sure that i`m gonna buy it then because in august it`s nearly fall or winter here in austria, so not that good weather conditions for a roadster....
so im really pissed off today, tomorrow, that week, next week.......

Yep, I can understand that. Pitty, would have been a great summer, cruising around with your Z4...

Well they really are very popular and this often happens in that kinda situation, you can still try and find a nearly new one. I've seen one at a second hand dealer 5 kilometers away from my home.

yep that would be no problem, finding another BMW dealer, but i`d like to have it from "my" dealer here in my town, because i bought every BMW there. ( so i can expect some advantages from them.... )
it`d have been no problem for them if i`d have told them earlier, so that they ordered one for me, so it`s a little bit my fault too, and they are really sorry, but who cares I HAVE NO CAR FOR THE F***ING SUMMER!!!
my personal salesman told me he`d see if a Z4 is free anywhere so that they can take it and immediately sell it, because the waiting list for a Z4 seems to be quite long here.

Yeah I agree with you on the boxter, don't get one of those...what about the new mercedes slk amg...those look REALLY nice, I dont know how much they are though... I take that back, its not much of a drivers car I guess but it looks good and its pretty fast...so I dunno maybe. Other than that I think your best bet is going to be with the Z4. If there were no buget limits I think I would have to go with the 996TT as well or maybe even the BMW Z8.


EDIT: I just realized that you posted this last July...whoops by now you are probably already looking for another car for this summer! But do let us know what you have decided on..
