New guy saying hello .. and got a couple questions
Hello fellow gear heads. I have always been a BMW guy, however, I am looking at picking up an 02 911 Turbo. My question to you is: mileage, and what are other things I should look at and look for while I am shopping? I have found a few at some pretty good prices, but I need your expert advice. Thanks guys.

Search, search some more, search a little more. You will learn about 2nd gear pop out, the joys of the interesting clutch system and the Pentosin that lives within, all about having an inspection done - and just how good or useless that can be, and you will learn about how to read the overevvs from the ECU. ALL of this is covered quite a bit as it's asked about pretty often! Seriously, do some searching and do some reading. When you've got the basics you'll be better armed to ask questions. Oh and get a CARFAX account for a month - will come in handy!

What he said. I have fixed all of the above on my car....some minor issues. For a super car, these are bomb proof. They are not a Toyota Tercel.
Per my local BMW guys....much less of a PITA to mod than a BMW. I was shocked to hear that, but I did. FYI. Note the P car tax is a real thing. A bumper for one of these cars may be double that of a m3...etc.

Welcome to the group!
2nd Gear pop-out on deceleration, and type 2 over rev's. If you are on the west coast I can check the qty of type 2's. The difference between the type 1's and 2's is as follows.
Type 1's: Typical over rev under load and the rev limiter drops out ignition pulses to keep the rpm's down.
Type 2's: These are caused when down shifting too soon for the gear and the vehicle's momentum causes the engine to over rev. These can stretch, strain or break rod bolts.
The numbers that are recorded may seem high, but remember that the count quantity is ignition pulse counts and that an engine running at redline has a high rate of pulses.

Yes, the data can be read out using the factory interface or the Durametric cable and software.
