Hello fellow BMW guy here too. Selling or keeping your E46? When you plan on a 996?
Ha nice!
Well I am in the process of getting my business off the ground and between my current job I can't currently. I hope within a year or year and a half. I am currently reading a ton since I am not super well informed on Porches.
It was cool. Wasn't crazy fast,but I wasn't expecting that. It fit me perfectly. I just wanted to get in and drive all over the country with it. Would love it as our 4th car, gf says it isn't practical...

Ha that is funny, at least your GF doesn't want a horse
A BMW guy myself, the 996tt feels like an absolute ROCKET compared to an e46m3 due to the torque difference around 3000 rpms. They feel VERY similar in regards to chassis stiffness with the e46m3 getting the nod on interior styling.
The e46 m3 is a wonderful car that you can toss around and enjoy redlining around on ramps and twisted roads, whereas the 996tt will get you in serious trouble with law enforcement as you approach redline in any gear over 1st. The e46 feels more balanced and nimble but the 996tt is faster and handles much better.
They are a perfect balance if you are planning on owning both!

and both are bargain sports cars right now!
Can have both for basically the price of a base C7 Vert.
Hey come on now I guess responding from a smart phone isn't a good idea
Just giving you a hard time. Glad to see some new blood in here. Don't be a stranger. And don't be in a hurry. Enjoy the search. Test drive lots of different cars. Get to know the market.
That being said, from Labor Day until maybe the end of January is a great time to buy. You'll see a lot of cars come on the market in the next month or so, especially in the northern areas where people don't want to store their cars for another winter, so they put them up for sale. Generally you'll see lower prices and a better selection during the fall. If you wait until end of February, you'll see prices begin to increase as Spring Car Buying Fever hits and well priced cars won't stay on the market for more than a few days.

Ha I know and I definitely will. I'll see if they have any at the local dealership here. It will be about a year before anything is serious and since I live in Michigan maybe its a good thing for me Also these both will be summer cars. I drove a beater truck which I am ok with since it was cheap insurance and 4x4.
Thanks for the info!
