Also just got my dash back from Classic 9 which is seemingly under new ownership. The quality is shockingly good. Center console next.

But I’m happy to acquire my first 993 (first air-cooled actually).
It’s a ‘95, Guards Red, C2, 45K miles.

Mt. Shasta in Northern California in the background.
Congrats! I have a similar car with a few less miles (37k). Love the '95s and the basket handle grew on me--now I love it. Makes for a tad more quirkinesses. Enjoy it in good health!

Question for the group: Mine came with 18" TTs, that were not stock. I have been thinking of trying to find some stock 17" Cup IIs (like OPs, I believe). My wheels seem big and the ride is more rough than I'd like (needs different suspension, too; now has JIC Magic, which are too stiff and bouncy).

Thoughts from the experts?

Rolled the 993 over to the grocery store, bought these items and grilled them by the pool. Washed them down with a few Modelo's and enjoyed the day!

I made a YouTube video about my new-to-me ‘95 Polar Silver 993 Carrera Coupe!

Yes, my channel is designed specifically to revolve around Vintage BMW’s but who cares...this car is simply amazing.

A Porsche 993 911 Carrera On A BMW Channel?

The 993 goes to the paint shop today to have the turbo front bumper, euro RS tail and decklid painted to match/mounted, as well as for addressing little things like rock chips, etc.

Not planning to add the RS side skirts at this time.

Turned 30K. I’ve driven more miles since I bought it in March than the prior owners drove it in six years.
