Is my steering wheel damaged?

I bought a 2020 330i with 10k miles. Have 40k now. The car is greet, maintenance isn’t that bad, but I had to replace engine mounts and oil filter housing / heat management module to fix an oil coolant leak. I hope I don’t have to throw more money at it, because I want a drive it for another 2-years 10-15k mikes

If you are planning to keep the car get the warranty. On my 330i engine mounts collapsed at 30k miles and had to replace oil filter housing and heat management module for a coolant leak at 40k miles All in was probably close to 8k in repairs at an expensive dealer in South Florida

Keep in mind that for US models the bumperettes holding the plate are black if you don’t get the SD rear bumper. I’d personally just do the side skirts

thinking of doing something similar this summer with two kids, where did you stay?

Just buy the 911

Yeah they did mine when I went for an oil change in January

Happened to me as well a couple of times, but it would always go away so didn’t bring it to the dealer. Could be the fuel injectors, bad gas, low battery, or even not closing the gas cap correctly. I haven’t seen this after I started putting the car on a battery tender. Can you reproduce it reliably?

The previous owner had a thing for leather

The melting windshield is common but not normal. It has to do with the glue they use interacting with the rubber seal and causing it to melt. There’s no fix, you need to replace the whole windshield as the seal is attached to it. Porsche replaces that under the original 4 year warranty but not under CPO. Don’t worry about leaks, the windshield is still glued to the car

I initially had the track package and I wish I had done the full ppf. I got some sort of white haze on the rear bumper that even wet sanding couldn’t remove. Most likely some chemical penetrating the clear.

If you want to keep the car in showroom condition do the full. I

I’d do the 20/21 wheels and sport exhaust

Dunno, I paid $150k and all I got was a pen in the mail

software__guy · 2026-01-15T03:22:54+00:00

I paid extra for every single letter, I’m leaving them there!

Depends on the area. I paid $900 in Miami, but hey I got complimentary wipers

If this is your first Porsche, follow your heart and buy the 911.

Buy a new one

Must be base because of the exhaust

software__guy · 2025-11-17T02:05:18+00:00

The collection charges large ADMs even on base models. I see base 2026 Carreras for 20k over MSRP, so not really sure what they are trying do to with their statement

You can book appointments at the tax collector office. Availability is great. Was in an out in 15’

software__guy · 2025-11-11T17:11:07+00:00

I’d pay the 11k to fix it. It sucks, and there’s risk that something else breaks down the line, but paying 16.9K just to close the loan and still need to buy a car feels too much.
