Regarding the driving dynamic, the M will excel at the limit but Taycan is easier and stronger until you push hard enough to see the weight and temperature burden with the battery.
A base taycan is not significantly faster or faster at all, compared to M3. It's actually significantly slower. The car weights 1000lbs more and has 150 horses less. A Taycan 4s which is not entry level, would be close on 0-60 and slower at quarter mile. You would need to go all the way to a gts to get something marginally faster on a straight line and to a turbo to get something significantly faster. Also, all dimensions for the taycan, length, width, weight, are closer to m5 than to m3.
