The M gives very little away--VERY little, in performance and is far more luxurious, IMO. Easy choice.

Price aside, I think the 911 exudes a much higher level of luxury, quality and finishing overall. Thing is, you cannot get a 911 right now and if you can you're paying over.
I can have an m3 or m4 at a decent discount. There's a lot of value in the M3/4 which that is partly what sells them - although the M3 will depreciate a lot so that delta in new price becomes much closer. Porsche is not about value nor will it ever will be yet the demand is through the roof even for a base 911. Just wait to see the GTS...
To me, if you want the best all around GT/sport car the 911 is the hands down winner as it continues to prove to be.
If you need practicality, but want performance the m3 is the car to have.
The winner here beyond which car you pick is you and I. Both available in manual and are fun to drive. |
I'm getting a 992 C2S and am not paying over MSRP, nor are others on here that are getting 992s…..
Also, that is for an ordered car and euro delivery in the fall.
All the G80s and allocations for G80s within a couple 100 miles of me are all marked up $10-20k.
Agree on all your other points. Also, a 911 C2S is the only non-GT luxury sports car that holds 70%+ of its value over three years (assuming you don't option it to something ridiculous like over $145k).
