The M3 is a great coupe/sedan, however I've always had a 911 as well. The 911 is a sports car; even the base model 997 has far superior steering, brakes, power/weight ratio, and lower center of gravity when compared to the E46 M3.As was mentioned, the 911's rear weight bias makes grip a non-issue for street driving. The M3's stability/traction control is so intrusive that the LSD is pointless unless DSC is disabled. Combined with the ridiculously staggered front/rear wheels (for a car with 50/50 weight distribution) contributing to massive understeer, the M3's handling just isn't all that. Again, a good coupe/sedan, but it's no sports car.</blockquote>
