Convince me (or not): Sell 6GT3 and buy brand new M2
#46
They are nice street car- nice-but no comparison. However- strip them out, cage,-do some engine work etc. Now' ya got something. My friend just did or it might have been an M.

Mine was my only car until last Fall. I've put nearly 120K of real daily driven miles on it — so far.
For me, I couldn't see getting rid of it for anything else.
Upkeep has not been bad. Tires and oil being the bulk of the cost.
M2 sounds sweet, but I would be worried that it would not have the same sticking appeal as a GT3.
That, and long term I think the car will appreciate in value.

GT3 PPP
Sure you can get more performance for more money, you might even pay less for a 997 or GT4 in a couple years but you won't be able to buy the same/similar 996 GT3 and get the GT3's PPP

Hah...I mean, I sold the 6GT3 6 months ago...so that is water under the bridge at this point. I wasn't in love with the car...it was a great car to drive...but I really disliked the interior and the car just felt like a waste of normal city streets (I felt like I was beating it up for no reason every time I took it out and wasn't going to the track)
Hit the canyons in the M2 today...it's not even close in terms of performance, but its a great car...still breaking it in. No regrets.

Congrats on the purchase! White looks great. It doesn't make sense to own a car you don't use. Hopefully the M2 is versatile enough for you to use it regularly. I just can't get over how vague the steering is on modern BMWs, though I have not driven an M2. Hopefully it is better.
