About the Boxter over the Z3 comment - you must be about 5'5" or smaller, because if not you wouldn't be so happy to jump into that Z3!!! Not to mention, why would you buy a slow sports car? I don't understand that. Definitely look at the Boxter or SLK, both of which are more comfortable and better looking, IMO.Anyway, as I mentioned at the AR/TT site, go for the audio system. Cars come and go, but your wife is letting you turn a room into a dedicated listening/home theater room! Take advantage of that....
Greg,I'm 6'4" and fit just fine into my Z3. As for power, the M3 version of the Z3 (3.2 ltr) is now the 5th fastest 0-60 time for a stock sports car (and way ahead of the SLK or Boxster). Of course, I couldn't afford the M3 version so I've got to put up with a slower Z3 (2.6 ltr) that can still run rings around that poor boxy porsche.
A car versus a dedicated HT room? I suppose you have me there...take the territory when it is offered I suppose (HT expansionist view I suppose).
