I was thinking can't Porsche make a reliable car so started considering other cars and was wondering what you all think of a 2010/11 M3. If I were to pick this car up I would probably hold onto my boxster. I'm going to find a few to drive and see if they compare. Power is similar, it just doesn't look as good, but then again it's much newer so likely to be more reliable. I don't know much about BMW's but figure you guys must know.
I'm not certain the repair is that bad I was following one on track second session, when it started to steam just enough warning to get back and down a lane, and then Wham. They had him back on track last run that day. I'd try the 2009-2011 Boxsters. Probably in the same price range. DFI no IMS more power.
