Tarek307 · #1 03-03-2012, 11:44 PM

Is it me or does BMW & Porsche go hand in hand...figured i'd post up some pics. I'm definitly a car enthusiast & ENJOY the thrill of Driving, in my opinion german engineering is the best, the Porsche 911 is so nimble, controlled, and fun, while the BMW 7-series has that Heavy BMW feel yet is sporty, great response & of course very comfortable. I'm a fan of modding my cars in a classy, tasteful subtle way...nothing over the top!

2002 911 Carrera. Mods include:
Turbo OEM bumper, Eibach Coil overs, 19" Marion MR3 Wheels, (Matte & Gloss) , K&N cold air intake, Fister D Exhaust PSE hack, LED Tail Lights, Black Exhaust tips, Custom Steering Wheel, Custom Navi,

================================================== ======================
2004 745Li LOVE THIS CAR! Big car that feels like you can whip it around like a coupe! Mods include
ACS Front Lip- 22" Status Knight wheels (Black/Silver) H&R Springs- Umnitza Angel Eyes- 15mm Rear spacers-

I love your Porsche. The only car I would buy in silver. How bad are they on maintenance? I wonder how much they would cost.

Atlantan · #16 03-04-2012, 01:09 PM

Very nice 996 ! How long have you had it and your experience, reliability wise...thanks! I came across a 01 Turbo, wasn't sure of the long term reliability would like to hear your feedback.

Cheers.

Ive had the car for over a year and a half, already put almost 30k on her, bought it with 37k now have 62k. One of the MOST RELIABLE cars out there..just maintanance, such as oil change $70..really tires have been the worst, because i have such an aggressive off set- $500 for rear tires each.

These cars are bullet proof, their Achilles heal though is something called the IMS (intermediate shaft bearing) speciallyt he 1999-2001 models..but still all the way till 2007 they are effected. Its a bearing under the engine & to get to it have to remove tons of stuff, gets dry and cracks, once it breaks (NO WARNING-YOUR ENGINE IS DONE )

I've heard the issue effect 2% of the cars maybe..but of course online its blown out of proportion, a company called LN Engineering made a replacement, and while i was getting a new clutch put in i had this done for peace of mind added about $800 to the clutch job, so total $2400 with the new clutch, would cost same if you did it alone...best time to do is when you are doing the clutch, cuz then the bearing is exposed so save on labour.

Thanks, great info, this Intermediate Shaft Bearing, does it only come into play for a manual or the tiptronics too.

They are so different, but i'll admit since getting the 7 i've driven the Porsche much less, it sometimes feels like an effort to drive the Porsche lol...Both satisfy my driving pleasures though i will tell you that!
