Curious to know how your C4s compares to the new car in regards to finances and more importantly, performance and smiles per gallon. I'm coming from a 18' panamera 4S and it is BANNANS how much more car you get for this. And my lease is about 500 bucks cheaper per month on the m5c vs p4s. |
So hard to compare the two, 2 totally different machines, however I can try. I've generally have always been a BMW guy, apart from my '15 RS5 4,2 V8) and '19 911 C4S (bought new).
I was actually expecting more from the C4S and to your point, re: bang-for-buck, thrill/giggle factor per miles, engine sound, practicality, etc, frankly I didn't see what all of the 911 hype was all that people are constantly raving about. I didn't see it. (maybe the only 911 to own is the GT3/ GT3RS?) Granted I've never tracked the C4S, but have multiple water pump failures the 1st 6,000 miles was also a turn off on a car costing $145k.
There are a couple Porsche-philes on here that I've had this conversation with before and trust me, they did get their boxers in a bind over it.
So yes, even though I haven't actually clocked hours in the M5, I did track it at MTrack days at Monticello and test drive it a few times. I found both the sound of engine and the blistering Jeckle/Hyde persona of this car amazing. It seems to scratch every itch. Also, these options alone on a new 992 would probably cost upwards of $30+k. We also bought this car with the C42 as a pre-trade.
Hope this long-winded response answers your question lol
