Find a good local independent shop if you don't work on it yourself. The BMW straight six is one of the best engines out there and has been around for years.

Agreed! I had an '84 533i, which also was a 3.2L I6 (although only made 180 HP vs the M's 330). That car had 185k on it and still ran good, I have no doubt in my mind that car would have made it to 250k.
Another thing to consider if you're gonna get a Cayman... An LSD is not standard on the Cayman (wasn't even available on earlier ones).. You'll definitely want that. I don't understand how people can sell "sports cars" without LSD's, but I guess they do. Although I suppose the 3.0si didn't get an LSD either...
