No M3 for me....

aggie57 · 11-03-2008, 08:04 AM

Well, I solved the tax issue for me in an unexpected fashion. Yesterday morning I pulled the pin on my order. Why? A few reasons but bottom line is that I've bought a new 911 instead - well actually, not a new one but a 2008 model that Porsche Australia registered in May.

So after all this time and all this stuffing about no M3 for me. I'll post a pic when I get the car later this week if you guys are interested.

Sorry to hear that, you should have put a little more pressure on the BMW dealer for a better deal.

The only Porsche I would buy would be the GT2, a friend bought one and pulled the roll cage out and put in the back seats, its his DD now.

WTF!! Traitor!! LOL!!

Aggie, is it a PDK version?

Either way, I love Porsche's. I have a slow week this week. Please call me when you are in it & we'll meet up for a beer!!

See - I knew somehow you'd understand! Nope - straight manual Carrera. No bells and whistles apart from bluetooth and ipod interface. Last of the 2008 models and a fantastic deal which I couldn't refuse.

I should have it tomorrow.

I do understand. I can't buy one until I have more garage space..

Haircut tomorrow & then I'm free as a bird to drool all over your car.

Which pub are we meeting at?

I don't think PDK was available on the 2008 models.

Indeed - one of the bext M3 colours for sure.

Loving the manual shift again I have to admit. Didn't expect that but I'm definitely missing the speed limiter in my old Merc. 60kph is very very slow now - as I'm sure you guys know.

Interesting fuel economy. Getting around 10 l/100km on the freeway and 15 around town. So not much different to the M3 from what I have read from you guys. But early days yet. And 98 is preferred. 95 is OK but 91 is a no-no.

You beat me to it!

A mate of mine bought a GT2, ripped the rollcage out and put the back seat in, uses it as a DD.

ANILE8 · 12-07-2008, 04:56 AM

Unless it's the 911 Turbo, GT3 or GT2 it's just another 911.

M3 would have been your better option and most on here would agree.

Or we could say "just another 3-series". Oh sorry - you don't have one of those do you? "Just another Z4" then.....better luck next time.
