So anyway I thought I'd wait it out , until about two months ago I stopped a the local Porsche dealer just thinking about something different. Anyway I saw a 2017 carrera 911 991.2 4S.. with only 10k miles. One owner like new CPO. I drove car and fell In Love with it, atleast that's what I thought. Yes this was an impulse buy but the price was really right. Now two months later man I'm missing my m550. Can't explain why really, I mean this cars is gorgeous it's fast roomy enough and the PDK tranny and launch control is unreal. The sound As well with the upgraded exhaust is crazy as well. There even a turbo boost and the car goes crazy when you hit that. I will say lots more road noise then Beamer and way less luxurious. I like to consider this car a Dd but I do have a late model F150 that I use sometimes especially if weather is crappy. Anyway I'm toying with the idea of trading it In already. I might have a 2021 m5 competition built. Yes financially this is not very smart but I feel if I do this quick I'll get less hurt than if I keep a year or so and still don't like. I just feel I may never love this porsche. You might say why M5? I dont need the 4 doors I have my f150 plus wife has x3. It's just me. Me and these BMW's. I posted something along these lines on the Porsche renlist forum when I first had some remorse. People pretty much yelled at me and said I should not be comparing the cars. Well I'm not tracking the car so why not? I just like fast cars that handle nice and have a bit of luxury. I went with the automatic pdk on the Porsche purposely because I though it would be more of a dd. Anyway am I being hasty again? Will I learn to love the Porsche will i regret the M5 ( I feel
Like I won't because I always loved that car)I sometimes think with the Beamers there all over the place and my 130k car will like anyone's 40k 535. Well please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I don't really like any other Bmw. Although the x6m they have there is pretty sick. Thanks
You are the only one that knows what makes you happy. I had a 2018 M5 and a 2019 991.2TTS at the same time. Both very different. Both very awesome.

I’d buy an M5 again if I wanted a 4 door saloon that is the best on the planet. Awesome looks,, power ,, handling and an outstanding interior/ergonomics. Sounds better than a Porsche too. A V8 twin turbo like God intended.

991.2 is a different deal. Insane fast.

If an M5 is what you want, trade the Porsche and don’t look back. Liked is short. Enjoy it.

Good luck !
