Leave BMW for a 911, have you done it?
I am currently looking at a 2024 M3CS, but my neighbor let me drive his 2024 911 Carrera. No questions the fit and finish is nicer, and the porsche handles like a dream. Just not sure I want to leave BMW, the CS is a beast and love my 24 M2.

I’m on my 8th 911. 997.2 GTS or 991.1 GTS is where you want to be.

I just traded my 2019 M5 for a 2025 911 Carrera. I definitely would tell you to make the change and you don't need a Turbo S or GTS to enjoy the car as a daily. You can only drive so fast on normal roads in the Northeast USA.

Yep, I did it - originally for a 2011' 997.2 911 C2S. Now I've got a '22 Cayman GTS 4.0. BMW M cars generally make more power, have more tech features, and cost less than their P-car alternatives. However, in my admittedly biased experience, the Porsche experience is even better when it comes to driving dynamics. Steering is perfection. And no super-fat steering wheel either. I'd definitely recommend anyone who's an automotive enthusiast to own at least one Porsche and decide for themselves. But I do love my wife's X5! And my daugher's X1 and the other daughter's Mini Cooper S. I just love the Porsche more than all the others. :-)

Had a 991.2 911 before my G80 M3. Was a great car and enjoyed my time with it, but it was a bare bones poverty spec and all maintenance and mods were much pricier. However, if I had $150K to spend, I would rather explore a V10 R8 as an option.

Modern 911 ownership has become an eye-watering experience that is somewhat ....diluted. What do you want from a performance car? Do you enjoy the tech or the comfort etc? What are the roads like where you live? Would it be a daily or a fair weather driver?
