Price is crazy. Would rather buy an F10 M5, way more car for what you're paying. There's just too much else in that price range. You can even get yourself a decent Ferrari 355 or the like for that kind of money......I understand M's are supposed to be the be all and end all, but like many have said,just looks like an ordinary F30 with the MSport kit on (which looks fantastic by the way).I'm disappointed.And no,it's not sour grapes.:fencelook:

On m4 I was told just under R1m base ... But all speculation at the moment no one can be sure

I dunno… I've been through it with Porsche, no matter what deposit you make, or when you make it, if there is a price increase you are NOT protected.

You get to either pay more or cancel your order - that's how they treat their clients. (I paid R70k more than my order/deposit price, despite waiting 5 months for delivery)

I believe it'll be an improvement on all levels.. it's lighter :joy:, faster and will no doubt be more capable. I think it's aesthetically pleasing minus a few boy racer-ish traits. For now I'm personally reserving an A- till I see it in person. I don't believe they're built the same but that's another story.. the price :yuck:

The acceleration of the Fxx M's is what's going to be a game changer for me, in-gear, off the line, hell there'll be torque everywhere in the rev range bar right on top and that's a recipe for an exciting and spirited drive through twisties as well as the usual DD commute. I'm convinced that it won't disappoint but at the same time it won't be the same.. The S54, S65 and S85 will always have a special place in the hearts of M fanatics

Here's some more, notice the side skirts and boit spoiler diff versus the earlier pics posted.. there could be others too :dunno:

That about sums it up. My vehicle was originally scheduled for delivery in January, and was later changed to Feb 2014. This week I was told that I had to pay for the vehicle in full by December or pay 10-15% more if i decided to pay upon arrival. I dont think its fair/legal to pay more once you were invoiced for a certain amount. The customer should not be forced to fork out more since Porsche refuses to keep an inventory of new vehicles. Love the cars but hate the service in SA

At the risk of drifting off topic.

At least you got the option to pay in full and save on the price increase - I never got that option. I would have gladly paid in full to save the R70k increased price.

Not sure what you've ordered, but don't let it bug you, those cars are amazing, well worth the price. But yes, they have a sense of arrogance about them and they have completely tied up the used market too.

Porsche too arrogant ... It's like you have bought a sectional title to the car lol. I've used those exact words: love the brand just not Porsche SA ... Esp the deal with the mplan ... 10-15% it's a crazy increase ... Lol recall when speccing the Gts, Porsche loves to sit down over coffee and spec the car with you ... So my friends that were coming with me told them :" these b1tches are going to rape me, make sure you eat as much of their cupcakes and drink as much cappuccino as you can"

The good thing is you get unlimited cappuccino and snacks on every visit! (BMW don't give me that).

But yes, the resale/mplan and arrogance isn't great.

I forced a lot of restraint when optioning my car, still ended up about R120k above list price and I have what I regard as the basics.

Definitely no regrets though!

If I were to compare a R1.3mil 911S to a R1.1mil M4 I honestly couldn't look at the Beemer twice.

Im sorry R1.3, even for an M3/4, is just crazy. Then again, when you see 2.0 litre turbos going for R500 000.00+ it puts it in perspective.

But in that price range I could get a R35 GTR, or a second hand Porsche GT3, or an R8, or a Maserati, or, or ,or...

Think I will rather look at a clean e92 M3, x35i.

Agreed, 1 Mill for a 3 series is absolutely ridiculous!!no matter how special it is!and to think,the m3 started out as the poor man's supercar.oh,how times have changed!!

Wish I had that kind of cash for a new ride thoraise:j

Dont mind paying in full, however some customers may choose to finance the vehicle, which now becomes a nightmare since the vehicle is not even in the country. Porsche did however, offer to cover the vehicle with their financing which i refused. I can see how they are attempting to control every aspect of the market from financing to used cars.

That being said, Im still looking forward to the Boxster S PDK, arriving in the next couple of months. Also looking for a new vehicle to replace my outgoing M3, and I must say the Carrera S looks great.
