I've never had a harder time selling a car. Not because it was hard to sell but because of the emotional attachment.
Got 24k for it and the buyer seemed like a really good guy which made it a little easier.

Nevertheless it was time to move on and make one of my dreams come true.
Bought a black on black 2003 911 Carrera 6-spd with 32k miles.
Its a Florida car that was CPO'd and just expired. Very clean. Being delivered in a week.

I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the help over the last 2 years. This was the 1st forum
I joined and now am a member of 6 others. I have to say this one is still one of my favorites and has
some of the most knowledgeable members.

Thanks

how did you like the dinan CAI W/ the dual RPI scoops. I have then thinking of it but not since I have read positives but also read about no gain on the Dinan CAI. What is your opinion?

Don't worry mate, you'll be back here posting anyways! Lots of BMW drivers move to Porsche and vice versa, or both. They seem to go hand in hand somehow. I believe because both brands are a driver's car.

If I was to do it all over again I would do S1 software and exhaust. That's it. Better throttle response and sound.
No gains in quarter mile time whatsoever. I dragged before and after and only increased trap speed by 2mph.
Dyno results before and after were exactly the same. Identical conditions.

Dusandimic, just curious, would you mind sharing the stock dyno numbers for your 550i? I have been searching high and low for dynos on the 550i's and can only locate a handful. On yeah, and enjoy your sweet new ride!!! Tony
