I know this is an older post, but what would you leave the brand for? The only thing I'd consider is Porsche, but used prices are through the roof and new prices are well beyond what M offers.
I'm patiently waiting for the G87, and I've kinda warmed up to the G80 now that I've seen it in person. But there's a good possibility I'll just keep driving/adding older M's too.

Short answer: 25k USD and PCCB Long answer: I've gone back and forth between the base and S multiple times. There is much less difference between the base and the S on the 992 than there was on the 991. It's basically the same engine just with a different tune and 2mm larger compressors on the turbos, and you can add all the options to a base that are standard on the S (doing so would be stupid though, might as well get the S at that point). So from a chassis perspective, the way I am speccing, I am getting the same car and I figure 580hp should be plenty for my use. Also, since I intend to track it fairly frequently, PCCB are a no go. So I would need to buy aftermarket iron rotors right off the bat if I were to get an S. And last but not least, it gives me something to move up to after the warranty expires . You'll need more than a glass for the configurator, speccing Porsche options is bottomless pit

I've seen some reviews, Turbo does look mega. It will be blisteringly quick. I'd find it hard to get one over a 991.2 GT3 though, I prefer the experience of a naturally aspirated engine. Can you spec the turbo with sport buckets? Do it if you can, brilliant seats and keep you nicely pinned through the corners. |

You cannot spec the GT CF buckets. You only have the option of sofas.

Yes, the CF bucket seats are offered on the turbo-S. However they only come with rear seat delete (likely because they can't tilt forward I assume), which is a no-go for me. I need the rear seats to schlepp the kiddies around.

Actually you can. As part of the "lightweight package" in the US and as a standalone option in Canada. However, it can only be had with rear seat delete, which is a no-go for me.

The stock GT steel brakes are very good, I wouldn't rush to change them. If my car had steel brakes I would leave them alone probably. You can also get aftermarket discs for them (PFC, AP, Girodisc) which is a common route. You can also get the aforementioned aftermarket discs for the PCCB's, but then you are limited to 20 inch wheels. |

My wife told me today she want to add this to the list. She know I said many times I’ll never own a Benz or any vert. but I’ll humor her and we’ll check it out if released before we get our order in for one of the other options...renders look pretty cool.

GT3 or GT4 in manual for me. Hoping to find a 991.2 but it will depend on price. However, I am still planning to hold on to my F80 comp as a daily.
I was planning to upgrade to the G80 but after seeing it, it's a no-go for me. |

Replaced my F80 with the Alfa. Huge upgrade in comfort, emotion, fun. Replaced that with a 991.2 GTS. Sacrificed utility for even more fun. Absolutely zero chance that BMW is luring me back with this car, ugly or not. Now that C8 Z06...that's worth following, not that I'd ever buy another GM product, but the performance value is going to be insane.
