If you could wait- perhaps the M3 convertible would be an option.
Ferrari- no, it'd cost you several thousand dollars per service visit.
Bently- perhaps, but that comes from a different place than the Germans
if you must have a Porsche, check out the Boxter S- thats probably their best car for the dollar- and IMHO their best styling for any price except for the upcoming GT2.

While a Ferrari is costly to service, it has a ownership joy that no other car can give you. Out of the five I have owned, I do not regret any of the money I have spent to keep them running. If you can afford one, get one. It will be the automotive experience of your life.
