Haha ya electrical issues can be problematic even for dealers. Porsche don't do anything for me I don't think I could ever own one.

Good luck with the M3. They're great cars (maybe a little too sedan-looking for my tastes, but to each their own.) I'm never going to give up my 350Z. I still smile every time I look at her. The only other car I've felt this kind of emotional attachment to was a Fiat X1/9 that I resto-modded, and I still regret selling her (had to make room for a '64 1/2 Mustang project.)

Whenever I get the itch to replace my Z, I consider Porsche (which I drove years ago).

But then… I consider the cost of a Porsche and its maintenance, and the plethora of reasonable customization options for the Nissan, and I spend some time and $$ altering my 350z.

I'm not selling mine, I've owned it for over 11 years now, I bought it new in '04, there hasn't been a sports car that has excited me as much as it still does in the past 11 years to consider selling it.

I'm not much for just going out and driving around, but I enjoy it when I do have a reason to drive it.
Winchman, I just saw your sig - not to derail this conversation too much (best of luck to you OP) - but why on earth would you buy a 350z and never open it up?!

A porsche would do it for me too. Not a new one though, possibly an older 964. Those things are beautiful, I obviously won't get a turbo(100+k). lol.

I think in going to look for a e92 m3
Sorry to see you leave. I'm from nearby (Quispamsis). I recently sold my 03 Touring and bought a 07 Grand Touring. I find it a much nicer car, more power, better interior, handles better, etc.
If you don't find your m3 you might consider an HR or 370Z.
Just a thought, good luck anyway.

Nice car I never knew there were other people on here from New Brunswick. I imported a 97 civic type r that will hold me over till I find an m3 I'm thinking 2 years before I buy one.
