Default Ok guys... need opinion M5 or 911 C4???

My brother is going to buy one or the other, but he is having a truely hard time deciding which one he wants... Before he had driven anything he wanted the 911 w/o question... but we just drove the M5 the other day and now he is really torn. He likes the 911 because he is thinking of getting a convertable, but he loves the comfort and engine sound of the M5. Personally i like the sound of the 911 better... Practicality is not a big deal for him since this will be his 3rd car and won't be a daily driver. So im trying to convince him to get the 911 (since i can drive it sometimes) but now he is leaning more towards the BMW. BTW, i tried to get him to get an S8, but he wasn't even interested.

Default but people who don't know crap will look at it and says ohh wow its just a BMW but...

a 911 is still a 911!!!! Thats just my personal opinion.

Default I'd go with the 911 since he has two other cars...

The M5 is perhaps the worlds best all around car and makes the most sense if you can only have one vehicle. But since your brother has two other cars...There is no need to be practical. So I say go with the "true" sports car. The Porsche!

Default Try $59,995 MSRP for the convertible nicely equipped...

...and that's WITHOUT added markup. I wish I could've afforded that when I was a "kid". Just how may baby goats have you seen driving $60k convertibles?
