I keep vasilating between the AMV8 and the 981, but neither would make a good 3 day / week commuter, both are more than I want to spend, both limit my flexibility due to 2 seats, etc. I guess a 997 / 991 manual vert would be a possibility, but $$$ are an issue with that idea as well. I hope I can get another 3-4 years out of my 1er, but I'm already at 98k miles. Whatever I get next will need a manual, a soft top and some semblance of useabilty (with the requisite trade offs for soft top sporty car) for dailyish commuting.

The rare M240i 6spd vert? And I mean rare. But they are out there.
