y guys, i have sold my m3 and now i have a big big dilemma, 2003 porsche turbo tiptronic with 35k km or 2005 bmw m5 (one with 40k km and the antoher one with 65k km but it's full option and individual interior)
pleeeeese help with some advice

 

Do you need four doors? Get the M5.
If you don't, easy, get the Turbo. But don't bother with that tiptronic crap

 

thanks for posting, is the tip an sensible gearbox ? can broke easyle ?

 

The tip works great, you should have no problems. Like Justinmm said, if you need 4 doors get the M5.

 

M5 and a turbo are 2 cars worlds apart. One is a sedan and the onther is a sports car...
as yourself how you will use the car and what you want to drive....

 

If you can arrange a test drive in examples of both cars, take them to a tight, twisty road and fling them around. No doubt the M5 is incredibly competent for a big, heavy car.

But it is a big, heavy car compared to the TT. Drive both and buy the one that puts the bigger smile on your face.

 

I sold my 2002 m3 to buy my 996tt. I also looked at a 2006 m5, because i use my car as my daily driver. However, i didn't have to have a back seat, so i went with the 996tt-much better looking, a little faster, better handling, more fun to drive, reliable, etc.
If i were you i would get a 996tt with lower miles and preferably 6 speed. There are plenty of cars available.

2003 996tt
2002 x5
2002 m3 (gone)

 

i have 23 years, i don't have kids so and don't relly need a four doors car, relly i am a little bit scared about the porsche because it dosen't have warranty like the m5 but the m5 is a very fragile car i dont what to stai in the service... the porsche i like better and i like because has only 35k km...
how much cost to put the original navigation system on the TT ? (can somebody send my a list with the option on a 996 911 turbo ? )
guys thanks a lot for posting !

 

If you have any concerns about resale value whatsoever, get the Porsche.

The E39 M5's have depreciated like it's freakin' absurd in Europe over the last 2 years - I would bet the E60 would be around 20-25K EUR in 3-4 years as well. Insane, but likely!

 

what is "x50" ?

 

It's the factory power kit for the turbo. You get bigger K24's as opposed to the K16's on the regular turbo.

 

23 and no kids? Get the TT....but DON"T get the tippy. M5's are for old men with families, like me.

 

My vote is also no tippy.

Find a 6-speed turbo that you like.

Agreed, turbo all the way. I've had S4's M3's etc. trying to make sure i had space if i needed it...and I don't :-) The TT has ample room (specially compared to my roadster) and is the greatest car i have ever been in.

 

the one that i find is "tippy", and how do i know if i have the K24's or k16 ??
sorry if i put all this stupid questions but i am new in this area :P
i had the m3 smg so i like the tiptronic because i use the car everyday in traffic
