Default My 2004 M3 replacement

After some prodding I decided to show my first Porsche. Now I know what all the buzz was about. Just finished wash and wax. Sorry but I left the spoiler up. Not intentional. That's actually a pet peeve of mine and drivers who drive with fog lights on continuously.

Nice car! Congrats! Now you can have guys in M3's terrorize you!

I would probably get on your nerves because I drive with my spoiler up, Fog lights on..,And I drive at a rapid pace lol!

Beautiful car. Tell us more about it... Miles? options? Price and mileage? I have the same seats in my car..

Welcome!!

You have me at rapid pace. Mileage is 18500kms. Options where do I start. The only one not ordered that I would like is a sport exhaust. Previous owner paid $212k out the door. Just bought from Porsche Downtown Toronto. Sorry about the fog light thing. After traveling to Germany many times on business I have picked up a few of there idiosyncrasies. Paid $95k with 2 years warranty. Not to worried about the M3's. More concerned about the bicycle couriers, soccer mother in minivans and cabbies.

Now THAT is a bitchn' ride. Nice cab with those oh so sexy painted back adaptive sport seats. 08? 09? VERY different car than your M3. How many times a day for you look at it? Congrats and fun.

Sorry it's an 08. I can't stop looking at it and often find myself just sitting in it trying to find some reason to read the owners manual again.

Thanks, believe it or not my 2004 M3 has the same shine without swirls. Wax, wax, wax and no automatic car washes.

Not possible from Porsche, aftermarket is the only way.

This is my new one to me. I do love the triple black combo's. I had plans to buy a 13 BoxterS and this one came in the night before I was to sign. A Surgeon traded it in. I guess it was his golf cart.
