Anyone go from M4 to 996?

So I have stopped commuting and now work exclusively from my new to me home in Southwest Florida. As part of the purchase I sold my 2012.5 911; my 1965 Corvair and my 2001 BMW M5. Partly to raise some cash and partly because the new house only has a 2 car garage (but plenty of parking space for more cars). We kept my wife's 2017 Cayenne. To get to work i ended up buying a 2016 BMW M4 DCT vert for $43k. I have owned these before and they are nice cars. A month later I was gifted (bittersweet) a 2006 Ferrari F430 Spider. It is an F1 transmission model. I miss having at least one manual car (my Corvair was a 4 speed and my M5 was a 6 speed). I have owned a 996 coupe in the past and there is a 996 Turbo manual for sale near me so I was thinking I would trade the M4 for the 911. That way I would have one manual and one auto. I would have to park the 911 outside. Thoughts? Is this a bad move? Will probably cost me about $17-18k plus my car.

The Turbo has 65k miles (my M4 has 68k); clean carfax and good service history
