i was thinking of getting something in the next few months but i've decided between a 02 m3 or a 99-00 996....

both rides would get tricked out to the max......but i'm leaning more towards a p-car then a bimmer at this time......what do you og guys on here think?

i would get a TA kit along with wheels and drop off hand.......

 

You're asking Porsche guys if you should get a Porsche or a BMW?
Hmmm, get the Porsche.

 

ill second that... Porsche...

 

I have a 99 996 and I love every minute!!!!!!!!!

 

Yep, P-car gets my vote

 

A Bimmer will never look as timeless as a Pcar.
Here's my black '99...

 

get the p-car

 

Let's review the facts:
1. Porsche's 996 is a true sports car built to have mods to meet all your
expectations.
2. A 99-01 996 weighs 500 lbs less than a M-3...think what a performance
advantage that is from the get-go....HP/Wt ratio.
3. Best of all? You will pick up more wild women with a Porsche....

 

Are you single or married with kids?
Single: Go with the Porsche
Married with kids: M3

Hmmm: I have kids, I'll still go with a Porsche.

 

Very familiar with both and would definetly choose the 996. Although performance is similar. The 996 demands and recieves soo much more respect. Win! Win! situation either way.

 

Im in the same boat as you my friend, I also did a little question and answer with m3 owners and even people that own both the m3 and c2 99-00 and they tell me the porsche is more reliable and m3 has problems. both cannot go wrong, m3 is more practical if that is what you are looking for.

 

I know a couple of guys who just stepped up from their M3 and loving every minute of it. Why would you back track and get a M3 when you can step up with the porsche?? M3's are nice cars(heavy, piggish) but a true sports car is the 911. But drive both and see which one is more you.

 

No brainer...a 99' 996 Porsche if funds allow.

 

X2..........

 

I agree. The Porsche has back seats. I have 3 kids and use the seats all the time.

I went through the same decision. If you don't get the 911 you will regret it. I have never regretted my choice, but I knew that if I bought the M3 (BTW a great car) I would look with envy every time I saw a 911.
