I have currently the m3 cs but before that I bought the new m5 and the new e63s they were both sold after weeks of owning, both are huge and kill any emotion. Don’t do it!

Why did you sell your RS for a turbo?

+1 with the others Jimmy RE: F90. Unless you need something you want to tackle snow (which CS would do well with some decent winters) you will miss the CS. Tracked both and the F90 while a rocket ship, is only really in a straight line. Weight is noticeable. Steering is numb. Stock suspension is boat like compared to the CS. CS seems right size, weight and relatively sorted chassis. M5 you can't make smaller and you feel it. You can program out the burbles on the M3...

I sold my 2019 RS Weissach also because i wasn't tracking it much and it mostly spent time in the garage. I ordered a Spyder and look forward to teaching my son to drive a manual when it arrives in December. Then maybe i will go to a 992 GT3 or back to a 991 which i am sure will be plentiful. Meanwhile i will enjoy the Spyder with my son.

I can’t give great advice not having owned an RS, but I’m not a big fan of the body lines. But I can speak to owning a GT3 and GT350R (2020). I’m pretty happy with the GT350R as a daily driver, quieter and more relaxed in cruise mode is a big factor, plus plenty comfortable. Yes, there are issues with the motor but the current 2019 forward motor doesn’t have the oil consumption issues and so far is doing well except for a run of bad valves (mine was replaced at 900 miles). So I’m not selling you on what to do, but it is nice having two cars with two different driving experiences you enjoy driving. I don’t track either because I have a race car so that is not an issue for me. So whatever you do, I think it’s nice to have cars from different manufacturers rather than two of the same manufacturer. We also own a Macan GTS and while a great car, there is not the desire to drive it for me. Just my $ .02.

I've done stuff like this as well, so I definitely understand your pain!

So the RS is gone, I'm dying to get something new in the garage.

I have a M2CS on order but i'm worried that its not enough car for the money

I went looking at the GTC4Lusso V12 (never had a ferrari), the Aston Vantage (discounts are decent) and now I'm considering the R8 Performance.

I sold the RS because I only drove it 4-5 times a year to and from the track, so now something a bit less track focused but can do the occasional track day.

Never had a ferrari but maintenance scares the crap out of me, maybe the R8 just to try?

7 year free maintenance on every new car, and it carries over to subsequent owners.

yeah but the repairs don't and I think its a 3 year warranty maybe 4? i'm looking at 2019s to just try and get a year or two out of the warranty.
