T> After about a decade of investing, I finally have enough money to

T> buy a sports car. You can`t even imagine how much I have

T> anticipated the day I would have enough money to spend on a car

T> like this. Needless to say, I want to make sure I make the

T> correct decision regarding which car to purchase. I have it

T> narrowed down to either a BMW M3 or Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe.

T> Every time I see these cars, I melt. I am utterly obsessed with

T> the M3. My friend has one and it is one of the most beautiful

T> cars I have ever seen. Then there`s the Porsche. How can you not

T> love a car with the reputation of the 911. I love the looks of

T> this car to the point of obsession as well. Now here`s the

T> dilemma...which to buy. I have a test drive of both scheduled for

T> next week in Atlanta and will have to test both before making my

T> decision, but what would you guys choose? I know they are both

T> sports cars but, in terms of upkeep, which would be the least

T> hassle? The Porsche`s engine compartment appears to be very

T> difficult to get at (from nonmechanics POV). I love both of these

T> cars but only have enough $ for one. Could anyone provide some

T> suggestions please? I know both are great cars, I just want to be

T> sure to make the most of something I have worked so hard for.

T> Thanks for your assistance.



While I can`t speak for the BMW anything, having always owned

Porsches,

I can say that with the Porsche, you will have access to many online

resources for parts, technical assistance, and lower priced, high

quality OEM parts. The many Porsche tech groups and forums provide

information and repair assistance for all models thus making turning

your own wrenches and routine repairs an easy almost fun experience.

The camaraderie among Porsche groups and owners creates a vast

technical resource for the new owner.

I`m sure we all pity you in the predicament you`ve found yourself.



Drive each car and pick the one you get the biggest rush from and that

fits youre personal style. Then don`t spend the next few years

second-guessing the choice. Unless you`ve done _really_ well and can get

a new fun car every two years. Then what the heck?

Which reminds me of a cartoon I saw somewhere. A notice on the side of

a workshop: "Porsh servicing: $45/hr Porscha servicing $60/hr".
