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!
