Definitely do not have the option code on the sticker. I've read a lot of recent articles about the ME and none have mentioned M030.

Simonripley

Its like he got the description off of another ad. "perfect first car" What???

ZuffenZeus

You may be onto something here. Since the ME didn't include any performance enhancements on the motor, I guess it wouldn't make much sense to have sports suspension?

ZuffenZeus

yea, hahaha... like we're going to buy our teenagers a 911 for their 16th birthdays! haha

Maybe it would be better to say... "perfect first 911"?

Hmm. I've confused myself now. There's a fair few articles that reference the ME having "sports suspension" but they're all from UK (or in a couple of cases Australian) publications. So I fear I was mistaken and at least for the US, no M030 on the ME. Apologies

Not that it makes a difference for my car anyway

ZuffenZeus

Check it out Jimmy. I found your wheels on a non-ME 2000 Carrera. Yea, this dude stole them from some poor ME owner. Think they're yours?

Lol, I've seen a lot of chromed out turbo twists for sale. No way they all came from MEs. Had to have been an option back then.


Mine were painted silver by the PO. I kind of wish they were still chrome.

Simonripley

Why do you say that? You get the suspension upgraded when you got the engine replaced?

JimmyB

LOL - the dude can keep them, I prefer my Carrera III's

Yes and no ... the engine replacement was prior to my ownership; when I got it the previous owner had installed H&R springs but they were too low for me - or rather, for my office car park. So I got a RoW M030 kit from Carnewal and had that swapped in while the exhaust was being done.

On option codes etc, it's worth pointing out that most ME's won't have any option codes on the sticker, because it was all part of the ME package. The ME cars had a separate designation - 996 440 for LHD, 996 441 for RHD - as did the 40AE cars. More here.

Here's my option sticker FWIW.



There's an old thread in which Redridge was trying to decipher his - but thanks to Photobucket we can no longer see the sticker

Not a fan of the chrome.
There's a low mile 99 here in Hawaiit hat has them so it must have been an option.

Thanks for all of the help from you guys over the past 10 months (especially SimonRipley.) I've enjoyed having #4 as a guest in my garage cleaning it up and fixing little things. I'm selling it for my late friend Dan's widow. It's posted here: 2000 Porsche 911 C4 6-Speed Millennium Edition

If nothing else, the comments so far are quite a read. 88 comments since Friday night. Bit of a flame war as well vs. some haters. Would be good to hear from anyone here who has had paintwork done. Evidently our Chromaflair paint is "impossible" to match. I asked the best shop Porsche Certified shop I know of here in Dallas, they said it was a paint code like any other color and shouldn't be an issue.

Please spread the word on your social networks. The proceeds go to Dan’s sons aged 15 and 11 who lost their Dad to cancer about this time last year. He was 48.

Thanks,

Shane

Not sure if it's been mentioned but #1 is on CarGurus in Cali

Simonripley

Damn, your car is quite the hot topic. Good luck with the sale, Shane.

Cant find it.

Searched nationwide. Not a single Millenium for sale on car gurus. Do you have a link?

Thanks
