BMW's are verynice cars and do what they are supposed to do (except when they have run flat tires that destroy their ride) but whatever a BMW is--it aint a Porsche. Who knows, you may be a guy who prefers all the relative 'quiet' of a BMW and all the sounds inside a Porsche may not be your idea of what you want...but on the other hand... the Porsche may get into your blood and reach into your senses in ways no other can can or has before... I was a BMW guy as so may here were ... and after not too long, I think you will pull anchor on your feelings and beliefs about any other machine... and be one of the converted... these cars may not be silent inside and they have their 'sounds and noises' inside... I am probably as '****' and neurotic as a driver can be in terms of interior noise, etc... but when I got my C2S... it was like, who *****%ng cares??? Listen to the engine. Drive the car. various little BS can be addressed at service intervals, if they even matter to you by then...

 

Ditto...That was my thinking as well. I wound up passing on the either the 997TT or the M3 and got the 05 Carrera 4 years ago AND a 08 335i for the same $$$$...Different cars..different purposes..enjoy both. Full leather in the Carrera is easily as nice if not nicer than the 335. Alot more attention to detail as if it was tailored just for you
