This is a dead horse . BMW M is far better than any RS on track... but the question is what percentage of people will actually track their cars competitively to care about the extra seconds they will gain. the RS5 is a different beast. for a DD it is a brute force approach that will do all the work for you. (some people will call this bad because you will be disconnected of what the car is doing to keep you going fast) but for some it is perfect a drive home after a long day at work while it is raining!! For the look the M4 is very loud in styling directed to young crowd, for me the RS5 is pure sex and I am 31 years.

yea .. was thinkin hard about m4.. wanted to try convertable.. after trying boxster s.. i dont think i can ever go back to bmw.. most likly cayman gts is up next..
dont get me wrong.. still looking at these m3,4 pics make me drool.. but just something about mid engine layout.. been to tons of auto x before in other cars.. never had this much fun in a car. it feels like it wants to dance around.. and pivot point is right at around your hip.. hard to describe.. |

You drive a 135 and you're calling an RS5 ugly? Not many people share the opinion the RS5 is gorgeous? Wow denial much? I love the 1 series (I should seeing how I own one) but saying you'd have to sell it if it were given to you I laughable. I doubt you could afford a RS5, no offense.

All this nit picking is pretty pointless. Buy whatever car fits your needs, wants or whatever. The M3/4 is an awesome car clearly. Fast as hell for sure, the increased torque will make it much more fun in real world driving. The Audi is a nice car, I think it looks cool, but would not buy it over the M4. Cayman is surely a blast, esp the new GTS, but it is too damn small, and for 90k, no thanks.

A well-equipped Cayman S or GTS is indeed about $90K, which can be hard to justify... However, there isn't anything as good as the Cayman at a cheaper price. The M4 is really a different kind of car. The comparison needs to be against other two-seater sports cars: Subaru BRZ, Nissan 370Z, Corvette Stingray, Jaguar F-Type. The Cayman is better than all of these. |

I've owned both the 981 Cayman S/RS5 and test drove the new M3. I would say if you are looking to get the most driving pleasure out of a car the Cayman is the way to go.
IMO, the best looking car is still the RS5 and the best all-around car will be the M3/M4. Out of all the cars I've owned I've never seen so many random thumbs up from people when I was driving my RS5. The Cayman's flat 6 engine sound with the PSE is just ridiculous. Also, for the people who are saying that the Cayman cannot be a daily driver has probably never owned one. The front trunk is pretty big and then there's the space in the back as well. You won't be able to fit a set of golf clubs but for the average day to day driving there's enough space. Saying all that, if you are looking for a car that can do everything, that will probably be the M3. The low end torque just makes it more usable in dailly driving situations. If I had to choose a car that was not 4 doors I would choose the Cayman, but I do need to get a car with 4 doors that's why I'll be ordering a M3 once they start accepting orders for BMW Individual colors. |
