naples991 is infamous around these parts
M4s are getting big. More like a 2-door sports sedan really at this point. And I am a huge fan of both owning many BMWs and P-cars.

An M2 (not yet available) would be more like an M3. Plus I agree that the M4 styling is getting to be a little too much. More like a Camaro or Vette.

I mean to take the depreciation and then buy an even way more expensive car says something to me.

Something doesn't add up here. But whatever. Definitely looking forward to all the videos he said he will try to make.
A lot of things didn't make sense with that porsche if you followed it. It all makes sense with the move to a whole new car.

What he claims doesn't make sense. The car falling apart makes perfect sense.

Does he mention in his last video that he is going to buy a TT or TTS? Or, is this just speculation on your part?

Edit: Oops, just saw his video and yes indeed, he does say that he may buy a Turbo.

If it took him 5 years to save for a 991s. Is he gonna save another 2.5 years for the TTS. :-). Just saying. Videos are over hyped with sad stories. In the end, maybe nmurray is just good at making sad videos and getting the online community behind him.

Cynical much? Judgmental much?

Why would you ASSUME anything about Nick Murray and his finances-situation? Unless you know him and know his financial situation, maybe it would be better to keep your uninformed opinions to yourself....

Obviously N Murray had problems with his 991. These are well documented and Porsche would NEVER buy back his car unless there was a very good reason to.

N Murray did this community a great service with his very informative videos. None were sad and I do not believe that he made them to "get the online community behind him". If the online community did get behind him, it was because of his generosity and great spirit through the good and bad times that he had with his lemon 991. Not because he made "sad" videos.

Enjoy your weekend!

Steve

I went from a 2009 997.2S to a 2012 E92M3! So now you know one person who has!!

Just wanted to try it out before it was gone, and see what the fuss was all about! Very glad I did. Still the best car I have ever owned.
Too bad that BMW is changing their goals. They were once the sedan versions of the porsche line...(now Porsche has their own of course!) They now seem to be targeting the AMGs of the 1990-2008 period. Searing torque and speed and no chassis underneath it all.

I am still skeptical of the new M4. Seems like a new direction for the M series. Early impressions seem good, but magazine testers are a fickle bunch. They will hype something and then tear it apart on the next comparo..

I hope Nick likes his new ride. Maybe he can give us some nice comparisons?

In his defense, Nick does not leave much to assumptions. He does tell all the details.

Can't wait for his reviews though. Short of Chris Harris I like his reviews the best.

Yes I have an M4 on order and I will switch back to a 991 TT but not until maybe the 2016 MY.

I have some new reviews in the works including F cars.

Actually I went from a 997.1S to a E92 M3 and know a few other people. Don't get me wrong I love the 991, just waiting for the right time to get back into the fold.

Hey Dave! I have been wondering where you went!

I see you are on your second M3. What happened to the 2011???
