So, i drove my mate's Porsche Cayman S...

true that, and a shame it is too, but unfortunately not even the 911 escaped that fate.

Regarding the 120, I think that one of the reasons that the 1-series coupe exists is because the 3-series has grown so much that there is now room for a small 3-box 2-door car below it. In that way the 1-series could be considered the spiritual successor to the e30, even though it does not bear the same nameplate.
Perhaps if the 1-series tii were ever to be realised, it might be considered the spiritual successor to the e30 M3.

or an M version of the 1 series, which will never exist coz they'd have to name it M1..

Before the current financial turmoil I had planned on getting myself a 135i coupe in two years' time, but alas.....Dreams will have to be postponed!!

Stripped 135i + coilovers + cage + 6spd + the worx = Ultimate Cone Slayer !!!!

the car may not even need that stuff-it is so well accomplished. cehck out the edmunds inside line vid-i think it has even more grip than a e46 M3. when they tracked the cars tho, the M shone through-probably cos of its predictability.
