They're tough to compare. Uncompromised purpose-built sports car from a company that's one of the very best in the world at maximizing every facet of driver sensation vs. an amped-up luxury sedan from a company that's somewhere around very good (but not great) at the same.

If you just want to maximize endorphins and can live with all that it takes to achieve that, the Porsche is going to blow the M3 away. But I think most people aren't fully prepared for what that means and are still better served with the latter, at least if it's their only car.
I'm looking at the Base Cayman that gets into M3 territory price with just a few options. I can see how a 718 GTS might be better than an M3. But a Base 718?
