I agree. I'll try to get some pics of the wheels this weekend.

Thank you

No, because it is a clean, low mileage 911 that's been in the family since new. Always wanted it.

I am very happy :D.

Excuse my ignorance, what kind of motor is in it?

Sorry, my post wasn't aimed at you.. Props for finding something so clean and low mileage..

I'd rather the 'M' personally, but then I am not a Porka person

So what are your impressions of the 911 vs. the BMW world? I have been back and forth about going to the Porsche side for quite a while now. I'd buy a nice SC or a G50 Carrera like yours. I'm curious to hear how the stack up in your opinion.

nice find!
wait, so you sold the car to the car's previous owner?

Ah, such a great trade! Enjoy that car! I have such a weak spot for a clean Porsche. It looks like this car is in great hands and I would assume the m3 is as well.

I look forward to some new pics!

Of the "modern" day road going porsches, I really only like the 1970-1989 911's, 951's, and maybe early 928's. Most of the later cars are pork. It said something when they put an automatic in the 964 (well, 944 and 928 also).

Thanks man! One of the conditions of the sale is that all details remain private. I would consider the condition of the car to fall into this category. Sorry.

Ryan,

This is tough for me since so much of my car desires right now are emotionally driven. I am sure there are more objective people on here who have more experience with both. My automotive dreams are based on cars that seemed somewhat attainable back when I started "looking" for cars. A 911 seemed like an unobtainable supercar to me back in the day. In 1990 I looked at an 88 M3 for 18,000 and an 81 911SC for 18,000. The SC didn't do it for me knowing that the G50 Carrera was out. Of course I didn't get either, but it helped seal my dreams. I personally wouldn't make a switch. I hope to have another E30 M3 in the next couple of years. However, I do love the G50 Carrera. It is a very physical car. My E30, when stock, felt like a boat in comparison. I guess I am saying that I need both. I will tell you more as I get more time behind the wheel.

nice find!
wait, so you sold the car to the car's previous owner?

Thank you! I was the 4th owner of the M3. I sold it back to the 2nd owner.

Ah, such a great trade! Enjoy that car! I have such a weak spot for a clean Porsche. It looks like this car is in great hands and I would assume the m3 is as well.

I appreciate your kind words. As I mentioned above, this at one time seemed like an unobtainable dream. I am excited. The 911 as well as the M3 are indeed in good hands.

More pics in my next post.

Good call on the 911. Mine's a venitian blue '87, bought last year with 36K miles. Enjoy your P-car - the rest of the driveway looks like a lot of fun as well!!!
