It would be silly to compare them, no?"

I love the M3 - but it's too bad so many people own 3 series. They are so common here anymore, they all look like Hondas to me.

Coupe would be the only way to go for me if I got one - but when I had the choice - I bought a Porsche..

I will stand by what I wrote. The M car is still a street car that costs, like 60% of the GTC? No back seat in the GT3 etc.

No comparison.

A fairer comparison (a BIT more so) would be a M version of the Z4 but even there, the price is way out of whack.

I would try comparing a ZO6 to a GT3. That would be fairer I think.
