We have a Macster beater finally. We need to get that guy on these forums so he can wonder why he bought this car after reading all these horror stories and sermons from KK.

That's great too but we sorta expect that from a Mezger motor vs the m96...Apples to Oranges IMO.

ya for sure..,the m96/70 is definitely the better engine/driveline than the m96/01, just showing the daily usability of the 996 series
think the m96/01 might largely avoid its issues if used on a regular basis, driven hard and maintained well, perhaps a picky engine, but still a good one..?

2000 Porsche Carrera 4 with 135K miles on the odo. Bought it four years ago with 107K miles. Engine is solid with regular oil changes and preventative maintenance

I want to see that engine!

I think I would have written that as:

I would have if the engine wasn't positively diagnosed with an IMSB failure before the call to Flat 6.
