Don't see why you couldn't keep both.

In addition to my C7, I also have a 911, an M-modified/upgraded 335i and an MR2. Wouldn't be happy if I gave any of them up which I have no intention of doing.

The M2C was the best Bmw i owned, had 4 of them , it was nimble and fast and everything was super quiet unlike the vette, not much mechanical feel to the car. I missed the sportiness of the vette right from the way how you sit low and it drives like a true sports car, looks fabulous too. Having said that the M2C is a great car and very well made BMW , it fun to drive it too.

Thanks, generally i keep my cars for sometime, avg 2 yrs before trading in but this was an exception

I should not have traded the stingray but always wanted a GS ever since i bought it and timing and trade in value was great, moreover found this car locally and very hard to find a low miles GS 2LT M7 . So switched

I would love to keep both M2C and the vette and use the vette as weekend toy but financially cannot afford 2 big car payments. Secondly both would have been manuals and other than me no one can drive them. Typically a DCT M2C and M7 Vette would have been an ideal combo.

Welcome back! Personal experience, after owning 2 BMWs back to back, only a Porsche is worthy of a C7 trade. All else is BS

Nice. BMW gets bashed here a lot. Ive owned many and currently have an X5 as my crappy weather car. Also have a Trackhawk. The X5 has been very reliable. My E36 back in the day never had one issue. The straight 6 was one of the smoothest engines ive experienced. Not digging the new huge kidney design.

Wow you came back in style. The C7 Grand Sport is a kick *** car. I sold my first 2019 GS and bought another 2019 GS nine months later. They hook ya.
