The M3 is one of the best if not the best sports sedan on the market. Jack of all trades.
If you like the looks and need 4 doors it's hard to beat for all around use

On the other hand, Carrera S and Carrera 4S are almost two identical cars (so is the performance), and actually in some metrics the 4S is slightly inferior to S model, including track performance! https://fastestlaps.com/models/porsc...-carrera-s-992 https://fastestlaps.com/models/porsc...carrera-4s-992 |

That's about the same as the base 992 Carrera vs the 4S. And similarly, the RWD models can outpace their AWD counterparts at certain tracks. The high speed tracks will usually favor those with more power.

Almost the same gap between the two cars of the dig, and almost the same gap in the rolling race! Quote:
With the AWD M3/4 is going to be as fast, and maybe even faster on some tracks, but the real competitor for the S model is going to be CS (price vise) that is most definitely going to be faster around most tracks. |

My GT3 and Turbo S are 475 and 560. Do the math that's about the same delta of ~ 17%.

If you have the numbers for the S and 4S you can share it with us because I have never own 911 and probably never will because I don't have a soft spot for the Porshe (but I do have it for the M4 ) |

Yes the 911 starts better but M3 is quicker. 911 is awesome track car but can not compare with M3 in overall. First the looks. M3 looks masculine. M3/M4 are best looking cars nowdays in my opinion. M3 has better engine too. In everyday driving is quicker also and way more usable. Thumbs up for BMW.
