Hello everyone. This is my first BMW. Traded in my 2017 911.

See attached pic!

AwesomeM3 · 04-07-2017, 01:49 PM

Congrats, looks fantastic!

I love the Melbourne Red!

Epacy2 · 04-07-2017, 03:02 PM

Background is what got me...

Is there a specific reason for trading in the 2017 911 for the X6M?

Would like to heat the answer too.

But anyway, congrats on the car. A very rare color.

I have to drive 2 miles on a gravel road to get to my house. Here is what the 911 was collecting everyday behind the rear wheels between the heat shielding and the outer fender.

The same was happening in the front. The gravel there was getting into the radiator fans. The dealer installed plastic screening in front, but related that one of his customers had had to buy new fans at $500 a pop.

Phone call and email to Porsche USA resulted in a $500 gift card and apologies, but no fix. I have 3 or 4 nice Porsche T-shirts from the gift card. I was told that these cars were not meant to be driven in snow or on gravel roads. I loved the appearance of the car and the performance, but customer service was non-existent. Life is short.

Only when seized by the urge to quickly dispense with several liters of petrol.

congrats, 911 on a gravel road is annoying...even normal roads where there is some sort of debris is annoying

Annoying I could live with. Replacing $500 fans - not so much.
