I just got a '08 Porsche 911, but I'm thinking of trading in for a BMW 650/M6?

Since golf clubs don't fit into the 911, I'm thinking of trading in for a BMW 650/M6. I've been a long time Porsche 911 owners since 2001, and a black Corvette. Once in a while during 2 hours+ drives, I get tired of the cramped 2 seater that has tiny trunk space, and yet ended up getting another 911 this year. I test drove the BMW 6 series and M6 prior to the Porsche purchase, and loved the ride and spacious interior and trunk space. But it's still a common BMW. People tell me that BMW 650 or M6 is no match with the brand name Porsche 911. 5 years ago, I ended up getting the Vette and 911 at the same time when I got tired of driving a 4 door Mercedes E class sedan for about 10 years. '08 Porsche 911 or BMW 650 or M6? It's a tough one.

go with the performance BMW. M6 is sweeet or even the M3 and you can put a bunch of performance up grades to it to make it faster than the 911. And guess what your clubs will fit inside it.

Believe it or not, the M6 is quicker than the Porsche 911, by 1/2 sec in some tests. As far as the M6 being no match for the Porsche, I think that's bull, Porsche is a purpose built car, and where i live, as well as Florida and California, they are just as common as 650's. I'd say you'd see less M6's than 911's though.

A Carrera S starts at $83k where an M6 starts at $100k. You get more car with the M6, it's a luxury sports tourer, not a pure sports car like the porsche.
