Everyone is entitled to their own opinion based upon their experience, but I will never purchase from Porsche Fremont because of the way they conduct business. I was looking to purchase a GT4. They got a 2016 GT4 in so I called to schedule a test drive to start the process and they said for these "rare limited edition" cars, they don't do any test drives until purchase paperwork is completed. Sorry to say, but I do not consider a used 2016 GT4 a "rare limited edition" car to the point that you couldn't do a test drive before deciding about the purchase.
Meanwhile, McLaren Palo Alto threw me the keys to a 570S even after I told them I was just looking and didn't want to waste their time since I wasn't ready to buy a McLaren yet.
Really left a bad taste about the Porsche brand and this was after selling my 911 Turbo. I'm wanting to get into a 718 Spyder/991.2 GT3 after I've had my fun with my Superleggera but after that experience, I may just go to McLaren until our local Porsche dealerships get their act together.

try getting a test drive of a BMW M car (although I can think why one would want to do this!)

I assume it is heavily dependent by who you get service from. I was treated very respectfully by a guy named Zach and the GM there, Mazen. But of-course YMMV

In Germany this car felt like a normal GT car, comfortable, quite... In our roads around here it feels like an actual race car...

lets hope the weather cooperates ... as not clear how popular this will be given the BMWCCA participation... parking (or anchorage depending on the rain) could be an issue.
