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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just wanted to introduce myself first. I've been lurking here for the past few months. I currently own a BMW 540 6spd and have decided to part ways with her for the 996. Keeping it German, but needing more of that sports car feel. The 540 has been good to me (sometimes), but I've always loved the Porsche and I'm finally in the market. I still have a lot of research to do before I pull the trigger on one, but I didn't want my first post on a new forum to be a "question". Anyway, I hope to talk shop to all of you soon!!

POST 2Original post

I made the same move, from my 2001 540i 6 speed to a 2002 Carrera 4S - generally, it's been great, but I wish at times I'd bought a lesser 996 and kept the 540i too. You don't realize until it's gone what a fantastic car it really is. Good luck and have fun.

Welcome!! Let us know if we can answer any questions.

POST 4Original post

Welcome Driver5, I am also a previous 95 540i and 2000 540i owner! I wish I could have kept the 2000 540i in addition to my C4S

Depending where you are located, chances are there is somebody from this board in a place where a car you like is that you cannot look at. Just post on up if you find something and there will almost always be somebody to get a prelim PPI for you. Welcome aboard and good luck on your search
