Relatively new to the forum and was initially looking to purchase a Z4M Coupe but have since been looking at the Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S hence my dilemma, so !!!!! in need of some expert advice which I am sure you guys / gals. will oblige me with.
My goal is to purchase a car which is, or very soon will become, a classic / collectors car capable of partnering me on a day to day ( low mileage ) basis and also when attending performance driving master classes etc. Help please

If it was a 997 then the Porker, but Z4M over the 996

can't go too far wrong with either, my 996 is quite modified so does everything better than my stock z4m could, but that said I drove a stock carrera and cayman before the bmw and didn't think twice about taking the beemer over them.
Haven't driven a c4s although do remember obliterating one down an a road many moons ago in my supra when they were still pretty new, he wasn't pleased!
