We currently have two S54s within the family. A ‘02 M Roadster and ‘04 M3. vert. Manuals in both. If everyone remembers the M Roadster was only available with a manual. The good old days…. Anyways neither seem to get me excited when I get behind the wheel of them.

Agree. Plus, the e46 generally seems more fragile than the 997. It is still pretty though

Yes, BMW Classic AG initially was uncertain that they could salvage it. That is how bad it was.

LOL

Don't know how much longer I'll keep that car. 235k on it now. Probably get to 250 just because...then let it go.
I have been driving it while the 911 was in the shop recently. Damn... it just drives like a car should. But - I am kinda getting ready for a change. Dunno what to though....

I would still like to have the ownership experience of one of these.

Maybe you should skip the G87 and go for it!

Pass… N54. Plus I might skip the G87 for a 991.1 manual C2S.

All you need is a VIN tag.
