Ms Gone, On the Hunt - 997.2
#46
m3forum.net is pretty much a Porsche forum. Many of those guys there eventually move to a Porsche but still very active on that forum. If there are polls of Porsche vs. Name your brand, Porsche usually wins in a landslide.

Yes, when I was in the process of selling the M Cars I read numerous threads on M3Forum. I think everyone of them concluded that the Porsche was in a league of its own...and I agree. Best decision I ever made. I was driving on the East end of Long Island today and was loving every second of the driving experience. Quick and fast and just chomping on asphalt. I was sad it ended.

I have owned many M3s in my life and I do sometimes miss them. I was actually looking to buy an E92 M3 when I also test drove a 997.1 on the lot and I was sold on the the 911--though I ended up with a 997.2.
I like my Macadamia. It is a bit different but cool and classic.

I have a DCT Carbon wheel that is just great. Don't let things like seats, interior trim, wheels, and the like make you move on from a car that has the right colors, other options you want, and checks out very well during a thorough PPI (or is CPO) as all of those first things are very easily changed.

As long as he has the wheel core you want in stock, just pay a deposit for the core and keep driving while your wheel is being built and shipped. Once you get it, swap, send the stock wheel back and you get your deposit back. From order to delivery takes 7-10 days as I recall it.

Alas, ending a long and storied chapter in my car life as I just sold both of my BMW M3s. I must admit that I was a bit sad when my 2006 ILB ZCP M3 pulled off and left my sight forever, having owned some iteration of the vaunted 3 series for over 25 years.
Anyway, onto a happier and more exciting topic--i.e. my hunt for the perfect 2009-2010 blue (maybe white?) 997.2 C2S with under 30,000 miles. I've been scouring Rennlist, Autotrader, Porsche dealerships etc for such a whip in the 55 to 60 price zone. Am I in the ballpark for such an example?

Perhaps, the tread title should have been M's Gone, On the Hunt...

Perhaps I should have titled it M3s Gone, but I don't think adding an apostrophe to M makes it grammatically correct. It's not a possessive, I was referencing selling two M3s. However, I do apologize if I caused you such consternation over a topic that turned out very positive to me.
