After about a decade of investing, I finally have enough money to buy
a sports car. You can`t even imagine how much I have anticipated the
day I would have enough money to spend on a car like this. Needless
to say, I want to make sure I make the correct decision regarding
which car to purchase. I have it narrowed down to either a BMW M3 or
Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe. Every time I see these cars, I melt. I am
utterly obsessed with the M3. My friend has one and it is one of the
most beautiful cars I have ever seen. Then there`s the Porsche. How
can you not love a car with the reputation of the 911. I love the
looks of this car to the point of obsession as well. Now here`s the
dilemma...which to buy. I have a test drive of both scheduled for
next week in Atlanta and will have to test both before making my
decision, but what would you guys choose? I know they are both sports
cars but, in terms of upkeep, which would be the least hassle? The
Porsche`s engine compartment appears to be very difficult to get at
(from nonmechanics POV). I love both of these cars but only have
enough $ for one. Could anyone provide some suggestions please? I
know both are great cars, I just want to be sure to make the most of
something I have worked so hard for. Thanks for your assistance.

IME, the BMW will be less expensive to care for. You probably
won`t be able to work on either, in any case.
The Porsche drives like nothing else; the BMW is much more
like other cars in it`s driving characteristics.

The M3 is a more practical car with a half way reasonable back seat.
There`s not much work you can do on either car; however, it`s probably true
that when you need work done by a mechanic, it`s going to be less expensive
to work on the M3, because they won`t have to drop the engine to do anything
but change oil, filters and coolant...as in the 911.
The 911 is more "sports car", with a lower center of gravity, it will
probably feel more sporting, but the M3 is no slouch either.
Depends on what you`re looking for...either way, you can`t go wrong.
Choose and don`t look back! Enjoy!
