Just copped my first Porsche...UPDATED WITH UPGRADES!!!

[posterchild336]

Had the 2009 E96 model, simialar to this one:

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.

oh e92..thats what I am trading..I have had a few bmw's I never had any problems except for e92 335 high pressure fuel pumps which was a problem for those models...I personally dont really like this car too much I am glad they are going forced induction, the engine burned way too much gas, and the car is heavy...

@Hiphoplives4eva congrats fam,

For the radio/cd problem have you thought about just adding an AUX kit? I'm sure they make one for your car. One of my boys had a range & swapped out the stock speakers w/ aftermarket, added a sub, dvd playback( with a switch i think) & it all worked w/ the stock radio/nav. If you insist on getting an aftermarket radio go w/ something like the App Radio 3 (my next radio) that has a minimalistic front face so it will look more oem. That kenwood looks like shyt fam, them knobs & blue lights...

The one I have in my car is similar to that where it only has the buttons at the bottom(my radio is like 3 years old ) :

@Brooklynzson

Yeah you right. The more i read about the Kenwood the more i think its trash. This installer i went to see was recommending it. When i saw that it ran android, i immediately became disintrested. I'll have to look this one up though. My only concern is if the unit can work with the Porsche interface. I really dont want to lose steering wheel controls.

Nice, how tall are you? Is it a comfortable ride for someone 6'2 and up?

I'm 6'2''. The Porsche 911 is exceptionally roomy. I'm able to fully extend my legs and have a ton of clearance above my head. Remember, it has a backseat...

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?

No aftermarket exhaust. Any good ones you recommend?
