£15k - Anything I've not thought of?
Discussion
Hi all,
I bought another R53 Mini Cooper S earlier this year so I could save some money, be finance free etc etc.
I thought (and I did at first!) that I'd love being back in an R53 but I'm now not enjoying it as a daily.
I'm in a good financial position now and I'm looking at something around the £15k mark.
So far, these are the 3 I'm looking at...
Audi TTS Coupe
BMW 135i Coupe
Mini R56 GP
I know these 3 are quite different but I've looked at everything (I think!) other than a Boxster / Cayman.
In terms of running costs the Porsche options worry me along with M3's.
Anything else I'm missing?

& if you're considering the GP then you can't not look at the RS265

Jap stuff at this price point just doesn't do it for me. It's as if it's trying to be premium but isn't. I'd rather go all out with an Evo. But I won't be doing that!http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2016...

Same with the Renault. I love RenaultSports and I've had a few Clios but I can help thinking the interiors are a tad budget.
The GP would be a safe investment as well as fun.
I've always wanted a TTS since owning a mk1 TT years ago.
The 135i coupe really appeals as something punching above its weight (although the 1 series dash etc is a tad cheap).
Z4 I think should be added.
Also need to learn more about the boxster/ Cayman to see if they're viable.
I can't justify spending that much on an E46 unfortunately. I know it's only going to go up in value but it's going to be costly to maintain and they're a tad dated inside now especially in terms of technology. If it was a weekend toy then I wouldn't care less and my Mini would be rocking my world. But I'm in it everyday sometimes for an hour and a half at a time. It needs to be refined and modern and have creature comforts.
One thing that puts me off the GP is the lack of HK, MFSW and sat nav screen (yes, I'm missing the point of the GP blah blah)!
