Default Couldn't DD the GT4 anymore....

So I solved the problem and added this to the stable

16" M5 including Comp + Exec and Driver Assistance packages with a rated 575 bhp. This thing is wicked! GT4 is staying. I would rather track the GT4 this summer instead of parking the 964 for the occasional outing given that I just re-painted it and everything.

Congrats, Those are awesome dailies!

Near supercar performance, while also serving people hauling and grocery duties. Great compliment to the GT4. I really like those Competition package wheels.

My brother just turned his back into Irvine BMW after his lease was up and picked up a new Benz S550 Coupe. Guess he is starting to lean more towards luxury than performance these days. What are some other cars you considered?

Nice call. I dumped my F10 M5 for the GT4...but if I was going to add a M-car DD it would be another M5 or the M6GC.

Thanks guys. I almost pulled the trigger on a fully loaded S6 but had a negative experience at the dealer which shall remain nameless. I also drove a C63 S, but the residual and money factor on the program was unfavorable.

I got a great deal on the M5 and couldn't say no. Bought an M4 from Irvine last year and really liked the accouterments that the Exec pkg. had, so couple it with the explosive power of the M5 and you have the perfect daily.

Nice pick up! How was your experience with Irvine BMW? Mine was not good.

Will do! I was in the market a few years ago for a 335i for the wife that they had one there that was in the exact spec we were looking for. Spoke to the SA and set up an appointment to check it out. Called and informed him we were on the way... When we pulled up the car has been sold. A simple phone call would've saved the family and i 2 hours of traffic and sad faces on the long journey home.

Sorry to hear, but thats usually just reflective of an individual (typical among staff).

I can set you up with my friends Jim Marutsos and Mike Ulibarri and they will take great care of you

Great! I'll keep that in mind.

Im out here in Irvine. Not super involved in the GT4 community anymore (was during my PMNA days), but would be happy to tag along on drive at some point.

Shoot me a PM with details?

great m5! I loved mine too, it was just too much power to the rear wheels for the east coast weather. I lost traction every time the temps got below 50 degrees.

but otherwise it was a rocket. Amazing car that never got enough credit for how good it is.
