Hello-Current M3 Owner, 911 next

Hi everyone, I am currently a 2006 BMW M3 owner, have a few BMWs but looking at learning about Porsche, always have loved the 911 and always wanted one, looking forward to learning a bit from you guys.  Of the most recent model years any thoughts on model to start with.  thanks

If money isn't object go for a 997

I have been dreaming about the 997 911S, beautiful car.
