Should I come Back to an F80?

Anyone with questions on that exact setup please PM me

The moment I'm more full time in an environment that's conducive to a 3P, I'm having one. It's killer. Mixed with analog options, not sure there's a more ideal garage at the moment.

Option 1 and 2 are the most realistic.

Option 2 > option 3 even for equal $, imo

You're probably right. I've only done the 1-car approach so far and when I had the F80, I wanted a sports car and when I had the Cayman I missed the practicality and cool factor of the F80. So a 2-car approach does seem like the way to go.

OP, maybe this helps you lol... keep the e92 and add a Model 3 Performance for your daily

2015 I buy my first F80 fully ordered from a dealer (6MT CCB Full Leather)
For some reason Which I cannot figure out I traded that car for a 2017 comp package DCT car.
I then sold the 2017 and bought a 20k Mile E90 Competition Pack 6MT car (my current car)
This one makes great noises and is very engaging to drive but man comparatively it just feels slow.
I have a DD so this car is solely a weekend warrior.
I'm struggling with a little Car A.D.D.

My budget is a max of 60k and I can get back into a 6mt F8x and this time mod it/tune it and go for crazy HP?

I think In an ideal world I'd save up some extra money and get a 997 Turbo in a stick.

Am I missing any other vehicle? I don't think I am In my range.

Thanks Fam

Hey good to see you here again Chris! I had no idea you found an E90 for yourself, I'm going to reach out to you on that topic.

Nothing wrong with getting back into the F8x, they're a great value right now. I think at 60k you're going to find a clean ZCP car that you can fall in love with. If you decide that you want to make more power, ~600 is available to you, stable and safe. But, you're right, a 997TT is going to hold its value well (especially your miles and care level) and will give you the ability to go well beyond 600 to the wheels without harming the car. And it's on a whole different level in road feel - but you already know that

IF the 6MT is non-negotiable, I don't think you have many other options; excepting if you want to check out a SS !LE, or something like a GT350R. Alternatively, it may be smaller than you're looking for, but the M2C is a hell of a proposition for a car in that size with it's abilities and 3 pedals.

As I keep fighting this V8 compulsion, your stance of the base E9x cars just feeling slow enough to be a bother is been a recurring finding.
