Buying 7 year old used luxury cars just to get a taste of that good life :wow:

Porsche cars are timeless breh. But buying this car most definitely has made me interested in upgrading to a later model sometime in the future. Maybe in like 10 years or so. But for now, ima enjoy this beast...:ahh:

Aww man. Driving this thing makes you feel so BOSS! Dude, the engine is fantastic and sounds AMAZING. I copped the automatic, so it isn't as good as the manual, but wifey wanted to be able to drive to. Next car will most def be a manual. No fukking question.

But despite the lack of manual controls, the car is still a blast to drive. If you take off the Stability controls and activate the sports suspension, the car fukking comes alive. I can feel every bump on the road, and truly feel directly connected. I sort of had a similar sensation with my M3, but this car takes that awesome experience and elevates it to the next level. I can fukking take round about at 75-80mph with ease, and blast out of corners with amazing expolsiveness. It's fukking exhilarating. (But then again, my other car is a Prius, so maybe i'm just not used to the sudden power at my feet now. :laugh:)

But yeah, the car controls and handles like a dream. I can't wait to take this bad boy on the track. Drop top is nice, and despite the added weight, the car's performance is still nice.

Bad things about the car are the outdated NAV unit. It sucks. I have to burn my CDs again in order to listen to the music i want, like its 1998 or something...:laugh: Will definitely be upgrading the head unit to something like this:

Apart from the newly released Z06 Convertibles, i'm not sure what other drop tops are touching this beast. Great for everyday driving, but with a beast of an engine. One of the GOAT cars, IMHO.

As far as upgrades, this will likely be the visual design i want to end up at. I'll also like improve the front lights to LEDs..

:wow: :wow: :wow:

Good to see you're enjoying it. If its anything like my classic 911, its going to be hard not to take it out everyday and keep miles off of it.

Did it come with aftermarket exhaust or no?

Congrats breh! Very nice and clean :whew: Partner at the Firm here has the same year, also Cabriolet in the 4S. Everything just works perfectly together in these cars. Currently eyeing a Black 09 S (hardtop) myself, to go with my S4.

Enjoy that beauty :takedat:

Had the 2009 E96 model, simialar to this one:

5465236914_5daab1724e_o.jpg


Drove it on a lease, but in the short three years i had it i had numerous problems with it. From engine issues to audio software and hardware. Car sounds amazing and drives fantastic as well though. But for a true sports car, it is way too heavy. However, BMW's handling mechanics are fantatstic to say the least, so you still feel confident when manuevering this bad boy. The only reason i would likely advise against purchasing a used on is due to shoddy crafstmanship and lower resale value of BMW's in general. Anyone i've ever known to purchase a used BMW has bitterly regretted it.

Get IT! Once you get over spending the actual money on the thing, you'll never live to regret it....:yes:
