I am going to look at new Daily Drivers this weekend actually just because it would be nice to get some money back in the bank (I'm sure I'll just keep the 335i). I don't think the Targa 4S will lose it's appeal to me if I use it more regularly, I am not a speed demon but I definitely know how to make any commute fun plus I always appreciate the extra looks I get in a Porsche, no one cares about the BMW hah. I am very disappointed in the new BMWs (not to bash yours) thus my e90 335i but at least the new M5/M6 are fun and hopefully M3/M4 will retain some of what made them special too. That being said I do think the 435i will be a great DD, especially with the increase fuel economy.

I have a 911 C2S 2009. That is my weekend driver.
Had an 07 (bought new European Delivery) 335i E92. January I traded that in for a 435i.
I love the 435i, reminds me of the 635i I had in the late 80s (also about the same size). Getting 26 mpg mixed driving as compared to the 19-21 with the 911

My work commute is 25 high way miles so it really helps with my fuel economy. I am getting 24 MPGS in the 335i and 26 in the Boxster S. I expect 21 or so with the 911 and that is fine by me!

If I didn't have the 997, I'd be looking at the M4, but happy about the potential economy in the 435. And no, there's nothing rational about buying a DD coupe with a clutch.

911 vs Boxster
I had a 911 C2S that I traded for a BMW 3-Series out of practicality and the need to use it for business. Got bored with it and got a 2010 Boxster S for fun. It was a nice car, but found an affordable 911 C2S and made the jump back - didn't regret it for a minute. And the boring BMW? Going away for a Macan S....
