Yes and no.

There are lots of people who will say they would be rather go over in a car like mine that has a high quality rollbar, than say a 3 Series coupe without any additional rollover protection. The way most BMW CCA chapters look at it, the 3 with no additional rollover protection is fine, but my car is not.

Ya just can't fight logic like that I guess. And trust me, I have seen plenty of 3 series from E30 to E46, and it really is scary how much that roof structure will compress.

Me too! Sort of like the S2000, I may very well have taken Monte Carlo Blue if it had been offered to us.

Funny how opposite we are. I love the Z4 because it is not based on a sedan platform.

yes you can..

Graco 5000 if I'm not mistaken will fit..

you can fit a rear facing 5-20lbs and then the front facing up to 80lbs seat

as well, you could go with an actual one that Porsche make but that significantly more expensive , but thats the one I'd go for :-)

you may have to opt for Porsche brand on later year models, as the walmart or toys r us ones are simply too big and don't sit well with within the bucket of the rear seats.

trial and error i guess..

The S is a keeper for me.

But a nice upgrade would be:

996 Turbo
SL55 AMG

And an even further upgrade would be:
SLR
Carerra GT


Ok, gotta stop dreaming.
