Alright guys, I need some help for a friend. His dad presently has a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo.

He loves it, but he's cursed it for being a "maintenance bitch". The other day my friend and his dad went and test drove 4 cars.

2001 BMW M3 (The only used car of the bunch.)

Nissan 350z

MINI Cooper S

BMW Z4

What would you guys choose among these? If you didn't get the idea, he wants a convertible. He included the MINI because apparently next year's S's will be convertibles, so I'm told. After the test drives, he's leaning towards the Z4. Now, before all you M3 enthusiasts get on him about that, he said that while M3s are desirable, the used one they drove had 20k hard miles on it and it didn't feel very good. Especially compared to the Z4, which both father and son enjoyed.
Thoughts?
