Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have an 08 E92 M3 with 83k miles. I've had it for 5 years and really like it. It is my daily driver plus I make a lot of trips between Atlanta and Huntsville Al. Since the milage is getting high ive been thinking about something newish. I'm also worried about the potential rod bearing problem on my M3. I found two 911s I like but looking for some opinions. The first is an 2009 S Cab ($58k) with 30k miles the other is a 2011 S Coupe with 17k miles ($63K). Both are loaded with sport chrono. How many use a 997.2S as a DD? I also have an 86 Targa that I've owned for 26 years.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Correction. The Cab is $55k not $58k.

POST 4Original post

If it is an option, I say keep the M3. I regret selling my E36 M3 sedan. It was an amazing daily driver. Not to say my 996 isn't, but having a few extra doors really helps with hauling gear and extra passengers with ease. *Edit* Having said all that, they are two very different cars but both I would confidently drive daily. For what it's worth, my 996 is a daily driver. A lot of people ask why but all I can really do is shrug my shoulders, smile, and drive off.
