zeroth world problems are the worst .... and best. knowing that you may never find another new naturally aspirated, manual GT3 at MSRP again could be a driving force here. and if after a few months you regretted your decision, you'd definitely make a few bucks selling that bad boy. which you should never do, but at least you know you could.

let your BMW sales guy take the GT3 for a spin (with you in it) to make up for their trouble. as long as you didn't spec the car in a pink/green swirl individual paint, i'm sure they'll be able to sell it no problem.... hopefully. apologize, but that's the business and i doubt they'll go hungry because you back out.

it's pretty special alright. i've only seen a couple VW GTIs around here wearing it! ha.

GT3 easy.

GT3 for your weekend wheels and a 340i (or really any turbo, 6 cylinder, german sedan) for taking your family around in is perfect. I dont think your wife or kids are going to be able to notice a difference between that and an M3cs. In fact your family will probably like it more since its not stiffly sprung and they get a sunroof.

M3cs + carrera s is a weird combo to me. You are getting the one of the sportiest/stiffest daily drivers and the weakest 911 for your weekend performance cars.

just my 2c

Gt3, the end.
Sry, but there’s nothing else needed to be said. If you can’t afford it then don’t.

But if you can, then do.

Worst case, down the road I need the money , can sell it without much loss. They will be halting GT3 production beyond this year. Maybe they will re-introduce later.

I am getting a good tradein $$ on my current 23’911c2s MT. Around $8K more than I bought it for. But I need to do an early tradein though.

Once transaction finalized, will post in the forum if anyone needs my M3CS build. Frz white, gold wheels, red caliper and std tires. Dallas area. Missed to add ccb.
Congrats! I'm happy for you, and immensely jealous, but happy Post pics.

If money is not a problem for you, GT3 without question.

My friend just picked up his new GT3 and it was the craziest thing I've been in. There is no comparison.
