Made the m3 carrera switch :)
So ive been a e46 member and M3 owner since 2003... I loved my m3 and never thought I could own a new Porsche with a huge price tag like that...
I sold my m3 year ago in anticipation of the new M3... but when I found out it will be 70k I was thinking what a joke... Had some extra money and made the 997 jump!!
IM SO HAPPY FOR IT
My car with
8500 wheels this poor man could not afford lol
So I opted for the Turbo wheels...

The m3 even with sport mode and the setting turned all the way up it was smooth compared to the 997... in my 997 I feel the road and every bumb and I love it!

Base price for a E92 M3 will be in the $54K range, granted all decked out it will be near $70k, but you can get a 997 into a 100k range without even breaking a sweat.
Congrats though, I did the switch myself. Love Guards Red, almost got one. I just had 2 Imola E46 M3's though, and was just itching for SY. I like the Turbo wheels better than what was on it...good job

Congratulations
i switched from a M3 CSL to the 997S & though i love this Porsche lots, i do still miss the CSL, it was such a focussed beast !
I wish i had of been in a position to keep the CSL & have a 997

congrats. the m3 is nice as we have e46 m3 but the Porsches i found them to be a little big more enth. oriented and more dialed in. But yes, enjoy in good health. the bottom line you are lucky enough to own a m3 and now a 911.

I went through a similar thought process when switching out of my E46 M3 and decided against the E92 M3 when I saw the 'production' version with the watered down interior to match the ugly exterior.
The turbo style wheels seem to get a lot of compliments from non-porsche people.

Nice, I am still thinking of adding the new M3 after its been out for a bit. Its an amazing car anyway you look at it even though I agree with you that the driving dynamics of the Porsche are much better.
