Considering a switch to Porsche after driving F80s for the last 4 years (had a 2016 6MT before this). I work from home so the car has probably spent more time in the garage than on the road. Never been tracked or launched. DM me to request more photos or info.

All CS are DCT. Part of the reason I'm considering selling is because I miss manual.

Great car but such a weird and impractical interior. Like what on earth were they thinking... GLWS

Thanks!

The M3 interior isn't really that impractical. It has the standard doors, unlike the M4 that loses the pockets/handles. The only things missing are the center armrest (never bothered me) and dual zone climate control (I'm usually by myself). And no Porsche I'm looking at will have convenience access anyway.

The Porsche bug still got you thinking huh?

Bump for a great seller - dealt with him earlier in the year and such a nice guy to deal with.

Thanks! Hope you're enjoying the 6MT man.

Was worried about getting an older P car last time because the backup would've been my wife's Lexus that I hated. Solved that by getting her a Macan so now I can go 997

No. Taxes depend on where you live. $826 is the base payment. It's $905/month including LA taxes.

Do you feel the seats are to "huggy" or tight compared to regular M3 seats? I owned a Evo 9 and the seats were just right, then when they came out with the Evo 10, you had to be skinny to fit in the seats.

I'm not husky or fat, but I heard the seats can be very huggy. I currently own a F10 M5 and the seats are great. I've been lurking for an M3 zcp or cs in SMB, just need to see my M5.

I've owned a base M3 and a CS. The seats are identical, except for:

1. The cutouts in the CS seats (same as ZCP), which helps with ventilation
2. No lumbar adjustment (same as ZCP)
3. CS-exclusive two tone leather (not available on base or ZCP).

Keep in mind that all M3 seats, including CS, have adjustable side bolsters with a ton of versatility.

Also, a CS is a no brainer over the ZCP at this price. It's worth debating if there's a price gap, but that isn't in the case here.

The CS is a great example of a car being greater than the sum of its parts. The chassis tuning, exhaust, interior, etc, really make the car feel totally different and a true occasion every time you drive it. Plus the exclusivity of driving something very limited, if that's something you care about.
