Some things are more than the sum of their parts. A proper Porsche is one of them.
First, for those commenting, the only Porsches worth the discussion are the 911 and Cayman/Boxster. Keep the SUV's out of it, they're SUVs.
For years now the 911 has had a similar spec to the M3, and yet out-performed it at the track. You could say the same about the Cayman/Boxster twins, they just flat out move when driven competently.
I've got an older 987S (3.4l) as a weekend car, and the way it turns and moves is something that just isn't matched by the BMW lineup.
I love my M3s over the years and I think they'll continue to be my primary car, but the respect for Porsche is deserved. I wish they were cheaper too, maybe I'd have a newer one, but I understand why they aren't.
