stooken · 06-12-2008, 10:45 AM

dude...

911 for sure. no brainer!

Crazy Bimmer · 06-12-2008, 10:47 AM

Depends on year and mileage on the 911.

what if i said 335 is new, z4m is new, and porsche is <6months and 5k~10k miles??

andyffer · 06-12-2008, 10:57 AM

porsche all the way.
I think they look a whole lot better too.

Icedog_16 · 06-12-2008, 10:59 AM

Porsche, no doubt.

Did weigh the 335i vs the Z4M (they're being whored out) and ended up with the 335i, in part because I knew I could ultimately make the 335i faster at far less cost.

F32Fleet · 06-12-2008, 11:01 AM

335i for lower operating costs. Mz4 and Porsche are 1 occupant cars for the most part and expensive to maintain (assuming you're keeping).

TheAcAvenger · 06-12-2008, 11:02 AM

Is this serious? I guess if it were a 996 we were talking about, i'd maybe think twice. But after driving a 997S (rwd) with only 7000 miles on the clock, it is officially my favorite car under $200k

+1 If it was a 996, maybe I'd pause for a second. But a 997S?

it's no contest, Porsche hands-down.

bluescoupe · 06-12-2008, 11:22 AM

love my 335i coupe.
but always wanted a Porsche.

GreenThree · 06-12-2008, 11:25 AM

Porsche

ElCapitan · 06-12-2008, 11:26 AM

I know it is not in the choice but I would go M3 over all the ones you mentionned.

tizzyd · 06-12-2008, 11:41 AM

z4m, they are going for 5-6k off sticker, and i would slap an AA supercharger on there.

DSe93 · 06-12-2008, 11:53 AM

PORSCHE

m2kev · 06-12-2008, 12:15 PM

I heard Porsche are cheaper to maintain than BMW, is this true? My CPA just bought his wife a Porsche Carrera S Cabrio and he says maintenance on it is a lot cheaper than his 545i, he didn't clarify though.. any thoughts?

vegasspeed · 06-12-2008, 12:27 PM

I'm confused. What do you mean by Z4M? Is that the M body Z4 I guess? The reason I doubt this is that car doesn't seem to fit the mold of the other two.

Taittinger · 06-12-2008, 12:28 PM

As an only car for year round? The 335i. With weather, gas prices and just practicality, the 335 offers more.

rubber_ducky · 06-12-2008, 12:33 PM

porsche for sure. but I'd lean towards a cayman S.

Yep. Obviously, having four seats is not necessarily a prerequisite since a Porsche's back seats are best used for a briefcase or a gym bag.

My last two cars were two-seaters, so I couldn't have given a crap about four seats, much less four doors. Which is why the Z4M was up for my consideration.

Nikolas · 06-12-2008, 12:40 PM

My Porsche has been the least expensive car to maintain and it is 17 years old. Yes parts are expensive, but they are built really well. Go for the P-car!

maximka · 06-12-2008, 12:45 PM

porshe!
