'96 993 vs. 2000 M Coupe........

'96 993 vs. 2000 M Coupe........

Just sold my '96 993 Carerra for a BMW "2000 M Coupe'.

Man.....that M Coupe (the clown shoe;-) is smokin' fast....I'm impressed....it seems a lot faster and muscular than the 993...

thoughts?

SvK


PS:

...I like to put it like this:

The m roadster DOES look like a chick car.........very pretty, retro etc......
BUT......by slappin' that Hatch/Rear on the coupe, it doesn't quite work.........Kinda like a master painter creating a gorgeous work of art, and then the hippest grafitti artist in NY comes along and sprays his wares all over it.......

It's punk-rock!!

I dig it.

Great choice! Lots of fun & I personally like the look. Because of its low production and off center design, it draws lots of attention.

If you remember the Movie "Harold & Maude" you'll notice that the design influence came from the late 60's Jaguar that was converted into a hearse.

The USED car values are all over the place for Coupes. So few cars were produced & so few are sold in any given month it's hard to get a solid value. I'd say you did well at $11.5K

Here's my 2000...
