Totally different cars.

open roadster vs closed car
light sportcar vs sporty coupe
2 seats vs 4 seats
front-engine vs mid-engine

I own an e46 M3 and a 986 BoxsterS. While the e46 M3 is a very good/great it is a car that is full of compromises. It's very, very good at everything but great at nothing.

For a driver enthousiastic the BoxsterS is much more a drivers car. Drop top, handling, steering feedback, etc.

When driving with my family to my holiday, yep the e46 M3 is fantastic. It's comfortable, it's (very) fast, it's sporty, etc., etc. However when comparing it to driving a topless BoxsterS it's in another ball game. The BoxsterS is much more a live, lighter, better handling, better feedback, etc.

Remember I'm talking M3 vs BoxsterS here and the M3 is still *miles* ahead of a 330CI sport...
(I've driven e46 330ci sport, e46 Alpina B3 3.3S and e46 m3)
