Porsche and BMW DO go hand in hand. I have the Cayenne Turbo as a daily and M5 as a fun car. If the buyer takes my M5, I'll also sell the Cayenne Turbo. Then possibly getting a Porsche GT3 as a fun car and a Mini Cooper S (IT'S A BMW) or 535i or 335i, or X5 35d, or a 135i (too small though) as a daily driver.

Some 911's I had the pleasure of seeing on a trip to Silverstone in 2010, (home of the British F1 racetrack), at one of the compounds near the Force India F1 HQ, . There were some very tasty track-ready ones.

Sorry to go off topic somewhat.

Love the rims on the 530 you sold, it's exactly what I am looking for, where did you buy them from if you don't mind me asking?

If you want to scare yourself get yourself a 911 (997) GT2 RS!

LOL. Overkill for me. The price is way out of range!! There's just SOMETHING about the Porsche that makes it just....much nicer! Maybe I'll think about the 911 Turbo Cabs. I dont care if the GT-R is faster. The 911 Turbo looks SEXIER!

You buy the Porsche for its heritage as much as its evolution and what it will give you back. I like the natural curves of the 911; especially when you look from the back across the flared arches; the curvature reminds me of a beautiful curvaceous woman's hips. The thing is after you drive one hard and you get out, the shear heat coming from the wheelarches and tyres is amazing - good job they have the stone guards! And the "tick" "tick" "tick" noises you hear for a while just makes me think this car has a soul. Wow, there's me getting poetic / boaderline erotic!

A couple of kids ago, I had the 968 Cabriolet. LOVED IT... The 550i is really different, but they share similar qualities. We have a Mercedes as well... It seems different in a way.
