I have an 08' M5 that I love, but am in need of something different. The debate:

1. Keep the M5 and add a C2S

or.

2. Sell the M5 and get a Turbo

What would you do?

 

I'd say keep the M5 and get a C2S. This way you have 2 cars instead of 1 Turbo. And 1 turbo over an M5 AND a C2S , doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me.

 

how about a compramise - panamera!

 

I just did 2. M5 was coming off warranty and risk of SMG (and other items) failure wasn't something I wanted to worry about. The turbo is great.

 

+1, Keep the M5 as a daily, and when you need the space to take people around. Buy a C2S for those times when you want to have fun. When the C2S gets too slow, send it in to TPC to add a turbo, win/win situation.

 

I'm about where you are - an '08 M5 SMG (lots of brand warranty & maintenance left) - which I love and don't intend to sell - a weekend car with annual drives to the West Coast (family visits)

Loving the Porsche "idea" (3 Porsches previously) - want PDK only - car would be another weekender and for shorter "get-aways" - both me and my Wife would drive

would LOVE a Turbo but newer are out of my price range and really don't NEED one

like the wide stance of the 4S but curious if the AWD is more of a maintenance problem (tho I'm a believer in CPO and extended warranties)

also would want either White or Yellow with Cocoa interior - coupe, not cabrio

hmmmmm, woe is me - decisions decisions

 

add C2S, the more cars, the better.
