For track purposes it will be perfect, but not everybody wil track his car, the M3-M4 is more practical car for daily driving.

The GTS might be better, just have to see on that, but as was posted above; which IMHO is true.

The Cayman chassis is very good, it deserves more power than 325 HP, the car is crying out lout for more.....


Cayman's steering feel is better than nearly any other modern car on the road -- and better than any BMW I've driven. Sure its a "flaw", but only in comparison with older Porsches and such.

The Cayman makes up for the low end torque by an engine that has flawless throttle response and wants to rev to red line all day long (and while it's there it sounds great and is smooth as silk).

The new M3/M4 needs to excel in these areas (steering feel, throttle response, eagerness to rev).
