Should I trade my Porsche GT3 MKII in for an M5 CS?
By chance, I dropped by BMW last week for a cup of coffee. Because I have a good relationship there, I immediately received a proposal for a BMW M5 CS, and a mega proposal in terms of trade-in. This made me doubt whether I should go back to BMW again. But still I doubt, the emotion and sound with the Porsche that has an IPE exhaust will be missed by me. But the trade-in price is almost too good not to, it is €55,000 above the market value if I were to trade it in somewhere. In terms of speed and potential the M5 CS is of course much stronger, but in terms of driving I don't think it comes close to the Porsche. I don't need the space etc. But I do like the power and luxury on board, which I now miss in the Porsche but which will return in the new GT3 with the new entertainment system etc.
Difficult to make a choice.. |

As much as I love my F90 Competition, I would keep the GT3 if I had to make that choice.
The M5 CS is not a radical transformation compared to the M5 and M5 Competition. The pleasure to drive, the feel, the rawness and the long term $$$ value all go towards the GT3 in my opinion.

Yes, delivery will be then september and twice the price of the price they give me for the GT3! I think I'm going to trade it in for the M5, drive it for a year and then buy the new GT3 with its head cut off.

I was told the waiting time from ordering is a year and a half. That buyer did not want to wait and paid the $50k over, and sight unseen from out of state.

if this is what you want, do not get an M5. It's fast as hell, but it's numb. |

there is no comparison to a real sports car. None. Coming from a z06, and what I have now, the m5 simply can't compare to the feel. |

It is a beast of a sedan... Truly shocking. My biggest and only negative at the moment is the steering. The wheel is too thick and the steering is numb and disconnected from the road. McLaren are the best at this and Porsche are decent for electric steering. I am a big Porsche guy and have a 992 gt3 touring coming when it releases (letting my speedster go). M5 is the best 4 door car around in my opinion. Luxury and power. The gt3 is a nimble NA sports car. Very very different and in my opinion a manual gt3 with a 4.0 is the perfect stable mate. Unless you have kids and need back seats, gt3 for me, but not as comfortable. Enjoy in good health bud. Last edited by BrntRubber; 04-25-2021 at 11:22 AM.. |

I know of an almost new Heritage Speedster with around 600 miles that can be had for around £280k. If you are interested in buying that, I can likely help get a 992 gt3 at list.
Speedster is unreal. The original owner is a nice guy also |

Traded my 2019 911T for a 2020 M5. While 600 hp is intoxicating, and it is a very well appointed and comfortable vehicle, personally I felt it was a mistake.
In no way am I putting down BMW, but a Porsche is a Porsche. I traded the M5 for a 2021 Cayenne GTS (owned 3 Macans, an S and 2 turbos). The first thing I noticed was the huge difference in steering feel. M5 was numb with zero feel. The Cayenne GTS, while not as fast, is a much more pleasing vehicle to drive. Oh, and did I mention over a thousand dollars cheaper to insure, in spite of costing 12k more to buy. |
