The M3 is an easy winner. The E46 is a classic design and the M3 version only looks better. The M3 has 333hp. The M3 has a manual transmission. The only advantage for the base Boxster is the convertible.

My wife drives a 2002 base E46 and my younger son has a 2001 E46 with the Sport (suspension) package. Both are more reliable and much cheaper to operate/repair than any of my Porsche's.
