Other than deep snow the 6MT 128i is fantastically balanced and confidence inspiring even if at times a slower pace is necessary. Haven't touched the suspension (including alignment) in nine years and 123,000 miles and it feels confident to drive. Reality is there aren't a lot of GOOD AWD sports cars out there and I have a rear Z4M so I was thinking of adding a unique AWD car to the stable. Can't NOT have an improvement of some kind in winter, right? |

Having those two small seats in the 911 allows for the front seats to recline back and for more leg room up front. At 6’2” you can completely stretch out your legs and recline front seats like flying business class to take a nap or sleep if you are in passenger side on long drives. The Carrera 4s platform is a sports act platform not shared by May other models (unlike 2 series BMW). The Carrera 4S is also not as bouncy as the M2 is. 2011 or 2012 from last generation Porsche should also hold value better (NA) engines.

Decision made
After carefully considering everyone's comments, feedback and consuming every video on YouTube available for either car I sat down, did some soul searching and made a decision on what I wanted.
Allow me to introduce the newest member of my stable: 2015 Carrera 4S (991.1) w/ 12,500 miles on it 7MT Sport suspension w/ PASM Sport Chrono Glass sunroof 14-way standard seats w/ memory package BOSE stereo It was the only car I could find that had the EXACT options that I wanted so I had no choice but to move on it quickly. I way overshot my budget but I don't care. Everyone who commented on how good the 911 is is right; magazine numbers, youtube videos, etc don't even begin to describe how amazing this grip machine is. I've never been so deeply in love with a car before in my life. Its quiet and comfortable when you want to be and the sound it makes when its time to get down to business is incredible. The gearbox and clutch are perfect. And it stays planted and pulls like a train even way above legal speed limits and never breaks a sweat. It has so much grip, poise and traction that inclement weather of any kind means nothing to it. I will never sell this car. Other good news is I've decided to keep the 128i for flying under the radar, Home Depot runs, four adult passenger carrying and for situations when I need to bring a ladder. Thank you everyone for helping me see the light as to what was missing in my life. #neversell #savethemanuals Last edited by Lucky1; 04-19-2019 at 02:10 PM.. |

That's the best part...it's not. Makes the sweetest noise I've ever heard. May be the last generation 911 Carrera for a while (or ever) to have an NA engine. Which completes my Last of the Mohicans NA non-V six cylinders w/ manual transmission collection:
128i 6MT N52 - last mass production BMW non-M inline 6 NA engine Z4M Roadster 6MT S54 - last ///M inline 6 NA engine 991.1 Carrera 4S 7MT 9A1 - last top trim Carrera flat 6 NA engine Love my stable. |
