What budget are we talking about?

Parallel, S4/S5.

Below $400K, GTR, C63, M3 and the RS5. Used M5s.

Above, there are the Carreras 2S/4S, Grand Turismo GT-S........

Darth Vader before his son succeeded him, whispered into Luke Skywalker's ears "Porsche Turbo". Be a man. Do the right thing.

brand definitely, power hell no, handling i dont know.
porsche seems more desirable and in a class of its own i guess.

i would prefer a lambo, but again its too exp.

Re: the upgrade path for 335 drivers

Nvr driven a porsche before but always tot porsche chasis and handling is a notch higher than bimmer.

Actually ZAG has a point. I think this E92 M3 is perhaps the last batch of NA engines..... Future Ms - twin turbos, future non Ms high capacity - twin scroll single turbos.

switching to M is definitely an upgrade but most likely less exciting than a cayman or other makes. coz interior too similar and mod route almost the same too.

suggest switch to other make for 2 to 3 years before coming back to M.
get a cabrio,.......for a change.

Looking at car prices in singapore is just depressing.

Re: the upgrade path for 335 drivers

My friend letting go of his C4S Cab, Mar 2009, Tiptronic with sports package, black/beige. Stuttgart car, omv 158k. Asking 395k, which I think is a steal for a 1yr+ C4S cab (there is a 2007 example still asking above 400k on sgcarmart).

Interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch.
