Hello fellow 6speeders


so I am in quite the predicament


Looking into a few new cars

1. Top of the list is the new M3 Sedan with 414 hp and handles very nicely better than my cayenne with 22's (test drove Saturday)
2. Benz C63 which i heard and saw videos of handling is not as nice as the BMW.
3. Then theres the Cayenne S a little less aggressive less hp but still a Porsche

Thoughts input?


MLC

 

Are you tired of the 05 CS? Would the 08 CS/GTS be a big enough replacement for your 05? I know the GTS would be but an 08 CS? A little more power but same interior or get on with PDCC and PASM ; )

The M3 and C63 are very sport sedans and if you has to choose between the two I would take the BMW. I like their service better than mercedes.

 

I would pick the BMW too

well the GTS is just soo over priced to me i was quoted 1400 a month with 6000 down soo the BMW is only 67K a load better and full maintenance included and its a 36 month lease with 5500 down for 800-1000 soo decisions decisions.

 

You have a great SUV now so its hard to move out of that to a smaller vehicle. I am thinking about adding sways and lowering the CS with links and put on 20's instead of my current 22's. I like my 22's but I think I would be better served for the handling with 20's. I also priced out the front GTS/Turbo facia for $479.00 which includes the turn indicators, inserts(left,middle,right) and skin. So I will do that with the side skirts and paint the lower bits. I want the TechArt front spoiler but I think its pricey for what it is. Decisions decisions : )

So get a new CS, change out the front for a GTS look and swap over your wheels : ) and resuse your side sills Voila!

 

WOW ! never looked at it like that

 

I'm surprised that it would cost that much. I got my GTS for 1250 a month with 6k down? I did some shopping around after my local dealer wouldn't budge from his quote and didn't even give a call back to negotiate. Total final
price of the GTS was 81,000. Got 5 different quotes on line from Edmunds online service and went with the best one which was still local for me.

To each there own but not liking what I have seen of the new M3 so far. I like the old body style better but I have only seen a few. We had a local Autocross the other day and had a MB E63 there and Cayenne GTS. The MB wallowed like a pig and could barely get out of it's own way. The GTS was amazing. Since it was a Porsche event we run standard times and Paxed times to compensate for the vehicle. The GTS came in some 9 seconds faster than the E63 and overall paxed times the GTS came in second out of 139 cars. This was with street tires. Unbelievable machine.

 

WOW GTS is quick
