It was the earlier version with the hardtop convertible, and the :puke4 cylinder.

It's actually a strong compliment on the BW that I kept it as long as I did. I average around 16 months tenure for cars. There were a few outliers, a corvette that I kept for 15 years, a mistake (Z4) that I kept for 6 months...

So for those following along and need an update, or who stumbled upon this thread, I did decide to sell the car and put it on Autotrader. I had several attempted scams and a few low ball offers from dealers. One offered me $82K but after a discussion when he realized that it was a base car, he...

Thanks all for your input. My car is a base model, the only option was the security lug nuts, which I took off and sold (I hate those things). I listed the car for sale, and the only queries I got on it were from scammers and dealers. Of the last few cars that I've sold, I've found that it's...

Correction: it will be addictive! Watkins Glen has been on my bucket list for years now...

So... I had a 991.1 with the 7-speed, and found in inferior to the 6-speed. In fact, the 911 was in the shop and I had a Boxster loaner that was so much better that I ended up selling the 911 and buying a Boxster, largely because of that! As for the BMW, I have owned both a SWB and LWB 7...

No. I actually removed and sold the wheel locks.

Yep.

Black Raven, black leather interior, 6-spd manual. Original owner from new, a bit over 10,500K miles on this 2023 purchased in August of 2023. No accidents, no paintwork, no dents, no curb rash, no racing, launching or tracking. No eating or drinking other than water in the car. No one...

LOL, no. I started this thread because I was thinking of selling.

Me too, occasionally. Also, the settings randomly reset themselves, like seat vibration for the parking sensors, mirror tilt, etc. Nothing major, but annoying. Sometimes the settings show as changed (and I change them back) other times not, so I change them twice to "reset" and that usually...

Your hand built perfection would have had that same leaky shock and bad turbo, just sayin'. Sorry about your issues, hopefully it gets better!

Thanks LF, I stand corrected and educated. I like the idea, but not sold on the upcharge, probably worth it if you are just a collector. But I'm a driver...

I'm a bit confused, because they state "hand built" and it's not. They also don't explain what is special or limited about it. Pretty though...
