Popular Post Joff Gas Posted September 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) As per title , picked up the R today . Great handover and service from Sutton Coldfield Porsche . I was initially a bit nervous about chopping my E92 Comp pack M3 in as it was a fantastic car and never failed me in any shape or form. It wasn't the best collection day as the weather was pants , anyway 5 miles down the road Sport Button pressed ,PSE engaged and PDK stick pushed to the left and it was smiles per miles !! ? V Happy so far ..... Couple of quick questions where's the locking wheel nut ?and should I have a tyre inflator thing?? Thanks Edited September 21, 2017 by Joff Gas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mk1 Posted September 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2017 Welcome to the `R` world ... Both items are in the front `boot` ... there is a removable panel at the bottom - rear, released using two `twist` tabs. Word of caution ... take care with the wheel bolt adapter, it is a softer material than the wheel bolt. Take a note of it`s ID in case of replacement. I damaged mine and had to wait a few weeks for a replacement. Having replaced my 2012 Carrara White CR I now have a Porsche touch up if you want it, it is coded B9A ... no charge, PM your details if required. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3 akr Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Nice choice - best colour - cheaper to run than the M3 too. I had an E90 and the 21MPG wore thin after a couple of years. Enjoy the ride! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987Monkey Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Great cars! Did you have a semi-style box in the E90 or is the PDK a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled the R up and seen 325 with some spirited driving too ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had DCT in the M3 really suited the car , but I do think the PDK feels slightly quicker tho . Both great auto boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
