I had a Porsche 911 before Converting to BMW...
WHAT!?!
Yes... it was an old one (probably should have kept it now that their values are through the roof), but the 911 had a leaking rear main seal and some other minor issues that would have totaled nearly $5k in repairs.... at the time I was 21 with an expensive car that I couldn’t afford to maintain properly and lacked mechanical knowledge to fix it myself, so I took it to a local dealer and traded it it for a 2 year old 5-series... it was a black 528e with a 5 speed and it just felt right. Since then, I’ve owned several other 5’s (e34 540/6 supercharged was my favorite), a pair of 6’s (1 was an Alpina) and two M3 (one was an e30), 3 - X5’s and a highly modified 700hp X5M!
I now own a 2017 M4 rocket and my wife drives a 2018 X3 M40i... she loves it as a daily and says it’s the most fun car that she has ever owned! Waiting to see how the 2020 X3M compares...
I will own another Porsche one day, but it will be a bigger leap this time. I’ll really have to save up for it: GT3 RS.
