I would get the new Cayman S over the current M3 in a hearbeat.
I drove the old Cayman/S/R on a lot of Porsche test drives on public roads and on track. Also drove the new Boxster S. You feel connected with the car in the Cayman in a way the M3 doesn't. But I was a bit disappointed in the new Boxster. It felt more disconnected than the previous one. Still good but because it is larger, you feel more isolated.
The older Cayman communicates so well and feels alive without tiring you out like a track-oriented car does. The M3 does not give this feeling. The M3 feels good but a lot more isolated and soft.
The pricing on these cars are insane when new. I'll wait for a good pre-owned one maybe in the future.
