You've had a few spots of bad luck with that M4 @geoffbot. How many miles on it?

Knocking on wood for my slightly older, low mileage E93 M3.

56k mate. Lots of issues yes.

Frustrating, especially since it's an enjoyable ride when it's working properly. It's death by 1000 cuts - the constant issues, even minor ones, add up to a terrible ownership experience.

Thinking about selling? Not a ton of drop top manual trans cars out there. My buddy in Sweden just picked up a low mileage manual trans 987.2 Boxster for not a ton of cash. A lot smaller car, but relatively affordable and they seem pretty well sorted out as far as common problems.

Yeah I'm always thinking of selling/buying. My company has the electric car scheme which saves 40% tax off a lease but then I'd have an electric car...

Porsche is indeed one or the few manual drop tops out there but the 911 I can afford (something like this) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-deta...?atmobcid=soc3

... Isn't the 911 I'd want, like semi-realistically (which is this)

Just finished a trackday at brands hatch - not sure how much more fun you can have for £99

Looks like fun @geoffbot. Did you make any left turns?

It's a rush. You realize how slow you ride on the street after a track day or two.

At the same time?

Oh yes

Something would have gone very wrong for that to happen! One at a time
