2008 Porsche 911 Carrera or 2008 BMW 650 or M6?

Question

Just got a '08 Porsche 911, but since golf clubs don't fit in, I'm thinking of trading in for a BMW 650/M6.

I've been a long time Porsche 911 owners since 2001, and a black Corvette. Once in a while, I'm tired of the cramped 2 seater that has tiny trunk space, and yet ended up getting another 911 this year. The growling engine of the Porsche is just too addictive regardless the overall size of the car. I test drove the BMW 6 series and M6 prior to the Porsche purchase, and loved the ride and spacious interior and trunk space. But it's still a BMW. M6 is a bit poserly. People around me say that 650 or M6 is no match with the brand name Porsche 911. I ended up getting the Vette and 911 at the same time when I got tired of driving a 4 door Mercedes E class sedan for about 10 years. '08 Porsche 911 or BMW 650 or M6? It's a tough one.

Answer 1

Check out almost any Mercedes AMG instead. They beat the M out of the water (forget the 650). BMWs are fickle machines with unappealing interiors and flashy exteriors. At least the Porsche is designed for one purpose: pure acceleration. You sacrifice some things for that (as you are well acquainted with the ride stiffness, I'm sure) but you get a car that has its place and that's that. The BMW leaves a lot to be desired.

What I mean is simply this: keep the Porsche, enjoy that growl, and don't bother with the BMW. They're so common.

Answer 2

Id say you go for the BMW.

Answer 3

We just bought an 08 BMW M6 Convertible on Saturday...in Black Sapphire w/ Black top, and Light Grey Leather interior......I love it!!  We leased it...which was great!  My husband took it yesterday to play golf...he fit 2 pairs of clubs in there...with a little bit of room to spare..not too much (definitely wouldn't fit 3 pairs of clubs).  His golf shoes store away in a hidden compartment in the trunk (where the spare normally is-no spare needed w/ Run-Flats)

I love the car, its classy, very roomy inside, and FAST!!  It has a V-10 W/ 500+ hp!  I love this car.  This is our first BMW, we just ended our lease with a Mercedes g500 and wanted something smaller and sportier.  I love this car.
