Your points about the M may not mean much to many. I can also say that the Cayman has a better manual transmission, better PDK, better brakes, better steering feel, better clutch, etc. It's more of a pure driver's car. And the sound system is pretty damn good. It's a sports car....So yeah, just different cars. I know what the M has, and it's why I got it instead of an RS4, C63, etc. But I can never compare it to a Cayman as I said. Different class cars.

Anytime I read someone talking about "pure drivers cars" the BS meter skyrockets.
Years ago Porsche came out with a "limited edition" RS America, which I purchased. It was offered in "pure form" with such items as air conditioning, stereo, and sunroofs as options. I went the non pure route, and ordered mine with all of those, as did pretty much everyone who actually drove the car on the street.
I guess that meant I wasn't a "pure" driver, because I listened to the stereo, and drove with AC in the 100+ temps we get around here.
Saying an M3 is not a "pure drivers car" (besides being totally subjective) is rediculous. I know, older M3's are lighter,as are Lotus Elise's, but it's capable of holding it's own with most cars on the road, and the fact that it can do with with 4 seats just makes it that much more amazing.
