Just picked this bad girl up last month and loving her so far....2014 981 Cayman S
You can get the last of the flat six version like I did with a 981.....test drive a PDK before writing it off. I know I am biased, but the cayman is on whole nother level from a 135 |

I believe the production numbers comparison is to show the potential future collectibility of 1 series models. Many E30s have been produced, and they have developed even more of a collectible/cult status as of late. With even fewer 1ers being produced, it's possible we may see a similar trend in the future.

I currently own an '88 325is, and it is definitely a fun little car to get around in.

I really love the 981s in white. went on a drive with some guys from the Porsche club and I spent most of my time behind a 981 exactly like yours. they are so planted in the bends. definitely a step up.from a 1 series Did you keep the NSX as well in the end? |

The odds of seeing a 1er in the wild are about the same as seeing a 911 from the same era, so not unusually rare, but not particularly common, either. |

I don't think the 1M hurts the 135i's value as much as the M3 hurts the 335i, because the 1M production numbers are so low, and, without a real M engine, it isn't as "wildly" better compared to the 135i vs. the M3 and the 335i. Plus, BMW sold about as many 135i cars in the US as they did M3 cars. |

if I had an 135is I wouldn't get the 718. I couldn't get to like the sound, even though I think with the PE sounds decent. The M2 sounds MUCH nicer, especially if you get one with the N55.

the 718 is a total turd. an insult to the Cayman badge. AVOID. sounds like poo, and it's all gone electronic.
if you're gonna get a Cayman make sure it's a 6 and done right with a hydraulic steering. Otherwise it's a waste of time. the 135is is a wonderful car. I think the E82 was the 'last hurrah' of BMW is making a classic coupe and the 135is was the last hurrah of the E82. Definitely a car worth keeping and i think one of the best modern BMWs around. The 135is, in particular, even though it was just a package was a really well thought out and enjoyable package. I have driven so many Porsches and have never felt excited about them. There was a time i was almost forcing myself to buy one and i couldn't because i felt it was 'hype' over substance. They are very clinical and technical cars. If that gets you off---by all means go for it. I drive for enjoyment more than technical tidbits. In the end, do what fascinates you and be fascinated by whatever you do.
