Last 4 cars have been M3/M4's and have driven BMW's the last 25 years. Just couldn't do the new grill so picked up a 911. Sorry BMW but you lost a loyal customer.

You probably should've left sooner if you could've afforded a 911 before now. I would already be gone if I could afford a 6MT GT3......but I can't at the moment, so I stay.

My take; while Porsche is not usually thought of as a leader in infotainment modules, I wholeheartedly feel they lead the way on driving tech. PDK, the AWD, PTV, suspension set up, PDCC, PASM, and a whole slew of others that I’m sure you could name. I also think at the power and toque levels many of these cars are, they need AWD. I think the M5 is much better for it this gen vs the tire burner previously. The 911 turbo also amazes me in the fact that it is still lighter with that massive wide body, tech, and AWD than the rwd M3/4 and M2 (which is also smaller). Really goes to show how you can implement a lightweight awd car. As for me, I am actually considering the G80 M3 for a daily (don’t love the grills but the rest is pretty good). Need to let it play out a bit but my wife and I have 3 cars including my new 718 GT4 so don’t think I need anything soon. At the same time, if the AWD M3 is 4100-4200 lbs, which I think it will be right there, it might make more sense to be in an M5C, an E63S, or maybe something like a mid size SUV. |

CT5-V and CT4-V Blackwings are getting Magnesium wheels.
https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/10...nesium-wheels/ Looking at videos of the 4/5/6 - The CT4-V might be a nice size for those wanting a little smaller sedan. It seems the reveal is getting close, because there are lots of info coming out. |

Porsche doesn't make a true competitor to the M3 either. So the G80 is really going against MB, Audi, Alfa, Caddy for the most part. |

My original plan was to replace my F97 with a G80 but decided to keep it along with my F80 and pivot my time from reading and watching videos before and up to the G80 launch with a used new to me June 2011 late production 22,000 low miles E90 M3 ZCP 6MT. Got it a couple days ago.

Give the M2 time. The car has already grown in both size and weight (...give or take 3600 lbs.) since the original 1M. The new M2 will also have larger grilles.

But the few spy shots of the possible M2 look pretty good so far. |

They need to update the M2 with some tech. It's been sorely lacking for since it came out.

To keep on with the above theme, I sold my F82 for a GT3 Touring this week. I'd love to be back in a BMW at some point if they ever come back to their senses...
