Funny you should say that, I am considering a front end respray
Seriously, change the colour, but get it done right so all the 'internal' paint is changed too. Go imola red :evil:
Otherwise, I reckon PVR has hit the nail on your head
Would you really notice the difference though? Cayman S would be a nice steed.flimper said:

my mate dave the diver has recently swapped his carrera 4s ( 996 i think ) for a 52 plate 55 amg, like new condiion, so many gadgets, excellent build feel; adaptive suspension, all the toys, goes like stink, just acres of torquey grunt, feels a bit like a horse that you're not quite in control of,we both bottled out at 140 with the top down. if you want a long distance gt to cruise across europe, you would arrive wherever as fresh as when you left, provided you can afford to fuel it. you are early 20's,you have an m, i am 52 and have an m, and i felt, as lovely as the merc is, it still felt a bit old manish for me,i'm not ready for that car yet, but wouldnt rule it out in another 5 or 10 years. if i feel that way i think someone of your youthfulness may feel much the same, once the novelty of the grunt has worn off, the m coupe attracts massively more attention, is quicker through the twisties and is so much more a drivers car, if you feel the need to change the M , i think you will probably end up with a 911 of some description, never had one but been in a few and they are very very good, still think the m will stand out more as just so rare, i would just enjoy looking and testing for a while as that is a lot of fun, and just see how things compare and which does it for you most,by having the M tho, the bar is set very high , drive everything, there no rush and you have the m allready, dont think you are wasting the garages time by looking at loads, you are seriously in the market and turning up in your car you will be taken seriously, enjoy the next few weeks 
SL55 AMG............................BEAST :evil:
At £25K a 997 will be a ropey old one. Need to be looking more at £40k for a good one as said, but as long as the car has been looked after well it should be fine. Be wary looking at cheaper cars as they are affordable but people dont look after them properly. But servicing wise dads 997 S costs less to service than my M.
Its like any car of this risk.. get one with a warranty then you have piece of mind. I prefer my dads 911 S to my Z4Mc. But mine was half the price of his and the 911 is not twice the car. But it bears the best and most recognisable sports car design and is a great thing to drive nothing like it. All MHO obviously, I dont see why a Porsche being the natural upgrade choice is a bad thing... its just makes sense the everyday supercar.
I would say M3 or other but as said they are not the same they are not thorough bread sportscars as they are big heavy cars. Fantastic but not the same. But you can carry 5, I would change my Z4Mc for an M3 because I love them too, dad had one before he got the 911 and that V8 is epic and I was looking on BMW used approved yesterday at them. £20k will get a good one £30k would get a stonking on with no miles specced the the nines and less than 2 years old! The one dad had was £65k so at £30K are a bargain.
