Time to say goodbye to the M5

Epic car, just a shame about the constant interior rattles and clucky transmission. After 2.5 years its time for a change.

I am expecting a completely different driving experience

Wow nice.
If I didn't need four doors that would be my ideal car.

Important luggage is taken care of. Rear seats fold down for golf clubs and folding golf trolley fits in the front trunk.

We have a family X4 to carry more peeps.

I did consider the Panamera but the depreciation would keep we awake at night.

I had a few older 911 turbos and for two people they make a usable daily driver...as well as being immense fun to drive.
I'm planning to have a new one for a couple of hours at the Porsche experience centre at Silverstone..for a very reasonable £380.
Though I am nervous it will make me *really* want one.

You will!

A new 992 Turbo? They are insanely quick but impossible to order right now. Used examples are selling to 20+% over list.

Excellent choice mate im doing the opposite jumping out of my 911 991.2 carrera 4s and into a m5 comp
I loved the porsche it was just so impractical with 3 kids, but what a drive it was only 400bhp twin turbo so no turbo S power but it was a unbelievable drive.
I will definitely without doubt be getting another one later on
