Still love BMW M, but onto new project for now...(991 content)

I've said it to myself and many before, I could never imagine myself not having a M3 in my garage, however, this is the first car that made me question my love for the M3. The driving dynamics of this car is simply amazing, and in many ways similar to the e9x M3. That being said, after serious consideration, I decided to reward myself after years of hard work and finally in a position to move on to one of my dream cars, so I jumped ship. I picked up this beauty about a month ago, CPO. For now, here are some quick iPhone pictures, after more mods are complete I will do a photoshoot on her.

Just picked her up from the shop after some cosmetic mods

Could never fault you for making the jump! Hopefully I'll be in the same in a few short years to consider doing the same. Enjoy!

Aero kit you put on it really compliments the car well. Look forward to more pictures of it.

To me, it's the traction and cornering stability, which the 991 produces much less body roll. I have yet to drive it on a track, but that's just the initial impressions and the biggest difference I have observed so far.

That's a cool car and icon to me. I would never consider myself into buying a Porsche but their engineering aspects must be better than all other exotics and they are more reliable too

I am fairly new to Porsche, but I'm not too worried as they have decent reliability, and the build quality is super solid from my experience so far. For a peace of mind, my car is CPO, with extended warranty, so I have about 6 Years, 10000 miles warranty, I would say I'm covered lol.

From yesterday's impromptu session, not a great location and sun was setting fast, but here are 2 somewhat decent shots...
