What a ride!

Gsv77 · 10-27-2020, 08:09 PM

I have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from this forum over the last decade or so and made some really great friends along the way!

I traded in my beloved M3 today for this new, foreign P-Car but so far we are getting along fine and I will inevitably lurk around as these are amazing cars with even more amazing fans!

I wish you all the best!

Congrats on the beautiful Panamera from a fellow Austinite!

ilia · 10-27-2020, 08:38 PM

Congratulations on the upgrade! But what happened to the FI-R's?

Noooooo. I loved the BBS on your M3 and I'm looking for a set myself now... enjoy the new car

nice Porsche

jpy1980 · 10-27-2020, 10:33 PM

I really loved that M3 and had her dialed in to my liking! But after 7 BMW's since 2006, I was ready for a change. This Panamera GTS is a whole new animal and I've loved every minute of it thus far (one day in)

zamboni · 10-29-2020, 06:52 PM

Congrat on your new ride and let's see when you are coming back for the new G80 competition.

spuntyb · 10-29-2020, 07:04 PM

Hell of an upgrade! Enjoy that thing!

LVI · 10-29-2020, 07:37 PM

Nice Panny. Congrats!

wdskukm3 · 10-31-2020, 09:51 AM

I love the panamera. I'm hoping to get the new widebody 911 someday. Can't get enough of the widebody M3 we got here.

sharkbite · 10-31-2020, 10:02 AM

Congrats ! having owned both an F82 M4 and a gen1 Panamera GTS you're going to love it. The handling will absolutely shock you. Its truly a 4 door 911 , and though my PDK was fast, your GTS has the newer version which will make your M3 MdCt feel slow.

The brakes are redonkulous as well so you'll find yourself driving closer to whatever limits you're used to. F80/2 M brakes are very good, but your GTS brakes will bruise your shoulders if you threshold enough ; )

Cheers and Congrats and welcome to the Porsche family ! like yourself I still love M cars hence my occasional visits to this great forum.

Adcampo · 10-31-2020, 10:26 AM

Boy, that is a really good looking GTS. Unique build. Enjoy.

Is it crazy to say that's my favorite Porsche? I absolutely love both generations of Panamera GTS. I can't afford two $100k+ cars but once my GT4 is paid off I'll be looking for a lightly used 2024 model.

Amazing color too, I ordered chalk with black wheels on mine.

Also an Austinite that transitioned from an F80 to a Porsche! Congrats OP!
