After 4 months in the M4 I have decided to return to the 991 911

The GTS is a very attractive package because lets face it you get the power kit pretty much for free as well as a few other toys we all want. However I don't want the CL wheels and I don't want the Aero front end. I know a lot of people love that look but not for me, I like the standard front end and for that reason I think the GTS is out for me.
I suspect someone would happily swap front ends with you .

Not like we couldn't see this one coming from a mile away! The M4 is an amazing car in many ways but just not special like the 991 911 was to me. Despite all the problems I had with my 911 I still wanted to drive it every day, sun, snow or storm and in the end if we have this much money tied up in a car then that is the way we should feel about them. Driving my 911 was special and I just don't feel the same way about the BMW.
Its like hinckley said, "if you're a driver and want to drive everyday, Porsche has just nailed it... No one else gets it like Porsche gets it."
So, for me anyway, the only question in this whole epic saga was: are you a driver? Even though you dropped a lot of hints it was hard to be sure. But now we know: Nick's a driver!
Congratulations!

Nick, welcome back into the fold. Try to test drive a Turbo. I did back in June, and then I wound up placing an order in mid-August. Picked up the car on Monday. The Turbo is an absolute beast. It's just insane. But in no matter what variant, I think a 911 will satisfy you more than the M4. Hope your next one is trouble free from day 1.

Nick, I had a Sakhir M5 6MT sandwiched between two 911s for 14 months. Same as you - my M was an incredibly beautiful car that was simply not as special as the Porsche to drive. And that's really the testament to Porsche. I love BMWs and have driven them on and off since the mid-80s. But if you're a driver and want to drive everyday, Porsche has just nailed it. I have no desire to drive a Lambo or a Ferrarri. No one else gets it like Porsche gets it. Good luck with choosing your next 911.
Welcome back Nick, I love the videos (the E24 M6 was classic).

Nice Nick! So Great to Get you back in the fold...
My Bro in. law bought his M4 at same time I bought my Cab2S...Naturally, he made a comment about how you went from C2S to M4...It'll be fun to have him bring this newest turn of events!
Welcome back. Your initial tubes helped convince me to buy mine!

I can empathize Nick. The M4 is no comparison to the 911 for driving enjoyment, and mine is just a little old 997!
