I have a 2001 911 Turbo (996).

Actually, I'd like to thank everyone for their very helpful views. I'm actually leaning towards keeping my 911 Turbo and perhaps either i) buy a used 545 and wait for the new 535 to come to Hong Kong; or ii) just get a new 530 and keep my 911 Turbo. I've had my Turbo for a year and absolutely LOVE it, but I'm thinking of moving to a 4 door car cause my wife really wants me to change it to be more practical (we have 3 small kids and already have an MPV but a 2-door sports car is just not practical 2nd car for my household!)

Any way I look at it, I've been told that I will certainly regret giving up my Turbo ("once a Porsche owner always a Porsche owner" I'm told?) so I'm leaning heavily towards getting the BMW as a 3rd car (downside = costly in Hong Kong... an extra parking space insurance, gas etc).

In summary, therefore, if I'm committed to a BMW as a 3rd car, and given my circumstances, is it worth getting a used 545, new 530, or wait till the new 535 comes out ?(which you all have in the States!)

Thanks again for your input!

Hi,
I'm new the the forum and have been a Mercedes and Porsche owner ..... till now. I'm currently considering a used 2005 545i or a brand new 530i. Being in Asia, we haven't had the fortune of having the new 535i rolled out. I'm looking for a 5 series with a fair amount of power that is hassle free.
Appreciate any thoughts the experts may have on this topic!
Thanks,
545
