Dan,
It remains to be seen if I will be as happy with the new chassis, comfort kit and a Dunlop SP Sport on the back in place of the original Yokohama but I will know in three weeks time. Having sold my Porsche 997 Turbo S and replaced it with a Hybrid Panamera, it will be nice still to have a small sporty car. I am slightly dreading driving the 2 metre wide Panamera on the narrow French roads but at least unlike my 911, the Panamera is RHD, so easier to get to the absolute edge of the road. This is quite difficult with my LHD M3W, as from the driving position, I cannot see the top of the nearside (right) wing. When I drive my brother's RHD M3W in France, it is actually easier than my LHD, other than overtaking trucks.
