That is why I bought a 2006 325i for $26k (with 17k on the clock) after I totaled my 964...I don't need a rocket ship for a DD and the car is Pre-owned Certified, so while I ponder my next Pcar purchase I'm risk free.

The other thing? I drove to South Carolina last weekend, humping down I95 at an average speed of 78mph...and got over 32mpg

I'd focus on the Porsche and get a nice DD that is quick but reasonable.
