It's a beaut! Good luck and welcome to the Pcar crowd. Many of us have owned M3s - great cars, but nothing compares.

One piece of advice - have Eric at B-plugs paint the top piece of that console - just had mine done and it really completes the look!

Hi Chris,
Which part do you mean? The silver strip below the gear shift?
Dave.

Great car, welcome to the Blue Group! I once drove a Cobalt Boxster, very nice color. Those XRR wheels are great.

Love the matching center console. Congratulations, and welcome to the Porsche family. You now own a piece of history. Enjoy.

Blue Baby Blue! Cont.

Here's some old blues, Midnight and Lapis.

Sorry for bad pics, but better than nothing; they're good for keeping up a blue buzz though!

I had a Lapis blue Boxster and loved that color. Really like the Cobalt and I am awaiting the new ice blue on the Turbo S!

Very nice - love the wheels and the wide butt. Congrats - enjoy in good health! I also went to an M3 before coming back to 911's. Couldnt be happier.

You're right, M3's are great cars, no question, but there is no comparison. The 911 is just on a different level.

I couldn't get you to commit to buying the White/Blue Turbo Cab, so I didn't think you were ready to be Porsche-less!

How's that for a come back?

Another former M3 owner here, but went through several other cars before finally getting my 911, which was always the holy grail for me.

Congrats on yours! It's a beauty, with just the right set of options that gives it a little something extra. Enjoy!
