Do you think these are cars they have taken in part-ex?
Nope. Swindon OPC is part of the Dick Lovett group, who have a large BMW dealership here. A lot of the Porsche staff run BMWs as company cars. Someone else was getting a 3-Series as a courtesy car this morning. Maybe in the current climate, getting a Porsche courtesy car will become a bit of a rarity, as OPCs run low on pre-owned stock.

Ha ha!
Only slightly better! I really don’t like it. I think I’d rather have a nippy little 1-Series to be honest!
Ah, nice loaner there. I really loved my Panamera 4. Great cars, I think.

TBH, I have no issue with a BMW as a courtesy car. Owned quite a few and they are generally very nice cars.

Wouldn't work for me, I'd never get it on the drive. Way too long (and low).

You may have seen my gentian blue Taycan CT in the showroom by the service desks ready for my collection tomorrow...

Agreed. I don’t have a problem with BMWs as such. I used to have a 1984 BMW 316!
And I have always liked the M3 and M2.

It’s only a foot longer than a Macan, and is a tiny bit less wide.
I never had a problem with parking etc, when I ran my Panny for a year.

My second car (at 19 years old) was a black 320i. I was extremely proud! Had it lowered and added BBS alloys and everything ...... like you do when you're 19.

My "drive" is a bit challenging. Its very steep, very small and curves round (and needs to accommodate 2 cars). Parking the Aston on it was a hoot, often removed parts of the front spoiler. Getting the Landy on it was a piece of cake. I parked a Q4 Etron on it with no real problem and that's almost the same size as a Macan
