I thought you guys might be interested to see my latest video on the M4, in which I have decided to return to a 911 because I am just not loving it as much as I hoped.

The M4 is an amazing car in many ways but just not special like the 991 911 was to me. Despite all the problems I had with my 911 I still wanted to drive it every day, sun, snow or storm and in the end if we have this much money tied up in a car then that is the way we should feel about them. Driving my 911 was special and I just don't feel the same way about the BMW.

I will be waiting for the 991.2 to be released and plan to do a Euro delivery with videos covering the whole process. As to which 911 I plan to get I am still undecided but most likely a well optioned C2S like last time or a light optioned Turbo.

Below is the M4 update video and below that is a video on a 356 I took a week or so back for those interested. Lastly the full review video on the M4 for anyone that missed it.

Looking forward to being back in the fold.

All the best my friends.

Hey Nick, glad to see you realized your mistakes with the M4 :-) Have you thought of a GTS?

 

Only two small issues with the M4. 1. the dealer did not take the car out of delivery mode when they delivered it to me so the airbags and other safety options were disabled. Easy fix. 2. The passenger sun-visor light would never shut off even when the car was turned off so would run the battery flat if not driven every day. They replaced the visor so also an easy fix.

I have not considered the GTS, it is a nice package but I do not like the Aero package front end at all so it is out for me.

 

Welcome back Nick! Can't wait to see the new videos

 

I agree with the GTS. Porsche took too many liberties with the base configurations all in the name of a more a higher margin car for their pockets. Good luck with the next 991. I am sure the lemon you had won't repeat itself.

 

Great news and welcome back. Too bad about the M4, but just guess it was just meant to be. Looking forward to your review of whatever you wind up with (with no gremlins). That did not take long, did it?

 

Welcome back Nick. Lightening rarely strikes twice in the same spot. Sincerely hope this experience helps to make up for the last one. Looking forward to seeing you on the board again.

 

I really enjoyed your reviews on your 991 - I greatly appreciated the attention to detail and your focusing on the good and the bad (although I am sorry that you had such a lemon!).

I look forward to seeing more of your videos when you get your new 911. Your videos really helped me understand a lot about the options and the car, both good and bad!

Cheers!

 

The move to the M4 didn't really make sense. Unless you need the seats the M4 is just a completely different car than the 911. I would probably check out the F-Type R and/or wait for the AMG GT if you want out of the M4. Or the Z06 if you don't mind American.

 

do you think Porsche will sell you one and invite you to the factory since you were such a PIA? haha kidding of course

 

Welcome back Nick and look forward to hearing about your journey back

 

Nice to hear from you. I have been waffling between a F80 M3 and a 911 and your videos really helped in my decision to order a 911 C4 GTS.

 

Welcome back Nick!!
I just picked up a used 991....Love it!!

 

Welcome back! Whether you choose a C2S, C4S or Turbo (which is epic, by the way), you'll be glad to be back in a 911 I'm sure.

 

Awesome video on the 356 by the way; really cool.
