Same priced porsches are always slower than their BMW counterparts, but a little more luxury and better handling. Porsche only shines when money doesn't matter that much.
Cayman GTS is advertised on Porscheusa site as 2965 lbs (curb weight)
M4 is advertised on BMWUSA site as 3530 lbs (curb weight)

The difference is 565 lbs.
It seems the US spec M3/M4 will be heavier.
