The only Porsche I would have is a 997 turbo or better. 620NM of those dirty torques has got to hurt. It's a serious bit of kit. They're far too expensive though when compared with an M3 and a bit too head turn-aroundey. They're in a different league, a different niche of automotive ability.
The M3 is an amazing car - let's not forget that... (although it could do with more torque) It can be relaxed and civilised - easily toot around town with only those in the know batting an eyelid at its cheeky beef. Do you really need any more than the offerings of an M3 for the real life driving on the roads? Not in the UK.
I still think that V8 is an engine from heaven. It's quiet when your right foot is having a lighter day, and still manages to transform itself into the sound of absolute carnage when you put your foot down.
So taking comparible price into consideration - what would you do? Own the best car that BMW make or shell out on a second hand low spec non turbo Porsche?
I know what I'd do - every time.
