Now tell me with hand on heart that the driving experiences will be comparable, or the looks of the m4 really seduce you over that of a 992. For the final nail in the coffin, which do you think will pose the better resale prospect?

So I reiterate the question from the OP, why are you guys doing this to yourselves?

The only way I will go back to BMW for another m4 is if they discount it by £10000... Little hope for that.
If you're buying, agree! Majority are leasing and BMW residuals substantially impact monthly versus Porsche. If driving experience comes first, agree! But many will say "but wait, I want all of the interior/tech upgrades" and that increases the $$ delta between the two cars. Small minority are basing purchase decision exclusively on driving experience.
