We do own 3 BMW's and we don't like the Porka as much, but I am just going to iron my hands to purge myself for mentioning that word on this forum.

Is my dads, but as my six is not running due to a broken airflow meter i am in the porka. It is a 1991 H plate 964 carrera 2 tiptronic 3.6 bought 2 years ago for 14k. Basically it is less fun than we thought it would be, but i think that is largely down to the gearbox being a semi automatic. We are told by the previous owner that it has a ruf exhaust and manifold and a chip resulting in about 300BHP. Previous owner saw the car go off the dial in Germany and the dial ends at an indicated 300km aprox 180mph. 0-60 is aprox 5 seconds. Does not have the blue and white propeller granted, but does hold some road pressence and people look and stare probably down to it being in guards red and it having a �6000 set of magnesium split rim alloys. |

Ive got to say this, and please excuse me for doing so, but...you jammy ba*$>^rd ! You have a porka as a courtesy vehicle while your 6 is off the road......NOW THATS SERVICE! (Very nice dad you have!) The semi-auto box would deaden the driving experience i suppose, but that is mighty quick. (300km works out at 185.2mph.... to be precise!) and 0-60 a damn site faster than my three, so if you give me your address, i'll get a propeller in the post for you!! Most people DO have a thing for Porches....while others have a thing for split-rim Mags...........I think I'm the later of the two, although i wouldnt turn one down as a present! |

In all fairness it's a very nice car, and much faster than most BMW's but as a complete package my 6 takes some beating. If you give me your e-mail i can send you a picture of either car.

i love porsches as much as BMWs...... sorry...... in my lottery winnings garage you would find a 1970s 911 carrera RS 2.7, a 1976 911 turbo, a 993 911 turbo and a 1957 356B carrera....... next to my E21 Alpina, E39 M5, E30 M3, Alpina C2, and a host of other 1980s BMWs.... cause they rock...... yes you would find a sharknose there too....... what can i say.... greman engineering..... yes it would be the tiptronice box that takes the excitement out of it, since the 0-62 times are a second slower, and theyre a lot heavier than their manual counterparts..... i think... split rims are the don..... split rims go on any car cos they are the don.... BMWs kick ass cause you dont have to rag the b***ocks off them to enjoy driving them, just that little bit more plus the fact it probly would be his anyway since everyones buying on finance these days.... one of the reasons im not struck on a E46 M3...... second only to an audi tt everyones got one (and may i add that all people that drive TTs must have got it in a christmas goody bag, along side their driving licence, cos we all know that they cant drive for poo) so there ya go..... my reason i bought a BMW... one of many... the other reason? remove starter motor: 3 bolts remove suspension arm bottom leg after removing wheel: 3 bolts and a Ball joint splitter remove rear bootlock assembly: 3 bolts does anyone know what im goin on about here? basically the build quality is mint, and those bolts that have never come off will come off properly and go back together again as before. not too heavy like a merc, but not absolutely sh*te like a ford..... bo 'selecta |

just to set the record straight too..... after winning the lottery, my garage would look like this......Aston Martin Vantage (Hennesey Conversion), Porsche 993 (yes i do like a few of them), E30 325(mine) E30 M3, E46 Convertible(sorry, gotta have one), E30 Evo II, BMW 740, Alpina C2, M1, Vauxhall Senator 3.0litre 24v (dont take the piss, its well comfortable) Ferarri 355, and a Nissan Skyline R34 (Supercharged). The slowest one in the list does 150mph, so it cant be criticised TOO much! Anyone fancy a race???? |

And don't forget about the adaptive headlamps that turn as you turn the steering wheel. (That was a good idea and it's taken BMW untill now to do that.) Some French design can be good

French cars are the worst to work on closely followed by ford, for doing everything the hard (and sometimes the bloody imposible) way. Jap stuff is ok if A.it hasn't rotted to pieces/siezed solid and B.you have hands the size of a 6 year old Taiwanese girl! You just can't beat the Germans for (usually) logical means of doing things.Apart from Opels, which are poo.(sorry,they just are!)
