Does yours play Yankee Doodle when you open the door though?
Nice choice. One of those or an XKR Jag for us next (in about five years)
Never had it with my aircooled 964 , quite the opposite , had strangers wanting to chat about that & the 996 didn,t stay long enough to upset anyoneZ4M-2006 said:Having had them before i can only say they do attract the wrong kind of attention....
People give you sideways looks and mouth "arsehole" as you drive past...
That could be just the people that know me though...
just didn,t like the manual after having a tip so it was gone within 2 months :roll: after a euro roadtrip though , that was memorable watching Le Tour Z4M-2006 said:
Don,t twist the knife
its the only car that i constantly regret selling as i know i could,nt replace it for what i sold for 
& i sold as i thought i was going up the 911 ladder to a 996 :x it was just before the 964,s went north on the prices though , was a beauty

what a lovely shape...it just sits so well. 
I nearly bought a 996 C4S before I bought the M, brilliant car really loved it but felt a little antiquated and the thought of the possible problems and for the age/milage/price you can have a Z4M coupe 5 years newer and lower milage with less likelihood of something going wrong with a full 2 year BMW warranty for more than 5k less, so bought the Z. At the time (2 years ago) a good <52 plate C4S <45k miles was £25k a good Z4M 56 <45k was £17.5k the Z also had newer tech and the Z is a tad quicker. 4S better in the weather tho.
Servicing is about the same, the 911 slightly cheaper so far. Your quite right tho, it is blown out of proportion big time, if it goes it goes. Only problem is you can't get a warranty which will cover you up to the amount of a new engine, max I could find at the time was per item 8k, and you need north of 12k. Unless it is a Porsche warranty, but Porsche will want £30k for the same car. Another reason I didn't buy one, they are much more sensitive than the S54.
We have a 997 Cs and the 996 did feel antiquated in comparison but I love the 996 C4S great looking car wide body looks fantastic. Would have to be a newer one for me tho.
Also quite opposite on the 'arse' scale. Up here in Cumbria there are barely any so everyone gives the thumbs up and appreciates it, never had an issue.
964 is lovely too! Would love one!
