E92 M3 is like 200lbs lighter than the Cali. Overall, I think Cali is faster and it is more torquey than M3. I was thinking trade in my dd C63 chipped for a M3 but I already feel my Cali is slower than my C63. I think I am spoiled by my previous 997TT.

C63 6.2 451hp/443lbft heavy, crappy gearbox, handling is pretty torquey
997 TT 3.6 480hp/460lbft lighter, AWD, fastest overall

So I guess if I really switch to a M3. I will not be satisfy with the acceleration correct? Don't get me wrong, I love M3 It's just I am spoiled by MHP C63 and my old 997 TT.
Going from a chipped C63 to a M3 won't satisfy your need for speed, especially for daily use.

IMO stick with the C63 and Ferrari, unless you have money to burn and want to switch to the M3 for the hell of it. And if you do have money to burn, my friend is a Nigerian Prince and could use your help.
