The E36 M3 has great steering feel, but my Boxster S has it even a notch above.

The Boxster also feels much lighter, much more tossable than the E36 M3 which seemed quite heavy to me for a sports car, but very good for a sports coupe-sedan.

The only area where the E36 M3 has a slight advantage over a 986 Boxster S is low end torque. (it's faster than a base Boxster though)
This mirrors my experience as well. Plus the super light flywheel of the M3 makes the engine quite fun to rev. The standard answer here is you've got to try the Boxster and see if you like it.
