I am a BMW guy. Had 6 of the last model 3 series and am stuck on my E92. Funny I can't trade it even for a new 4. There isn't enough there to make me part with it. Truth be told in May 2014 I cross shopped and test drove M4, Posche 911 Carrera 4S ( instant love struck), but I took home the 2014 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. That think turned out to hell on wheels though. That reputation is not entirely unfounded. Worst car I ever had by a mile and that includes my many Past clunkers! 10 month 22 dealer visits and 6500 miles I was so fed up I stopped driving it and wanted it gone at almost any cos. Hated it with a passion. I traded it for 2015.5 Ranve Rover Sport Autobiography that is hands down best car I have ever had. You can hardly believe they came from the same line. I am in love with this thing like I am with the E92. Oh the range will stomp any stock 435 /235 etc etc. and for $1900 I'll soon do a pulley swap and tune take it to 630hp start embarrassing corvettes. My tuned 335 is faster still, but this thing can go foreve in total comfort.

Can you believe I passed on a 911 Carrera 4S for an SUV? Me neither! But I still have no regrets. In fact they cost within a few hundred dollars of each other, so it's not a money thing. The rover does whatitdoes extremely well, and it appealed to me. I did a polling on the Range Rover forum and realized I was no aberration at all. Most of the people with new model Range Rover and another car have.... 335, 535 or 2/1 series.

So no we understand you. There is nothing wrong. You need to stray a little otherwise life would be so boring and predictable. Test drove the M235 liked it a lot. Might trade the 3 for that, but waiting ti see what else peeks my interest. No hurry at all which is good.
Might want to clarify that Corvette statement as you won't be embarrassing any C7s with that 6k pound brick of yours. If you wanted to run with Vettes then you should have bought an X5M...you could hang until you approach triple digits then.

Very interesting comment... Please tell us more on how the GT4 compares/differs from the 991 GT3 sounds like you prefer the GT4 on track?

Definitely not - the GT3 is still my favorite on the track.

But the mid engine, manual tranny setup is amazing and the GT3 brakes on a car that light make it stop incredibly well. I just thought it was an incredibly fun car on the track - much more than I was expecting!
