    They just did a tiny mistake. The engine that BMW put in the Z4 M is the standard S54 from the wonderful e46 M3. Not the CSL one that make 360HP. The Z4 M and the M3 CSL share some parts (like the brakes for exemple), but not the engine. By the way. Hammond was a total beast with that M. I would like to see this more often.

Mid engined is simply better from an ascetic and handling aspect. The 911 is fantastic and punchy but it requires a very specific style of driving to properly handle it while the cayman is more adaptable to a driver's style. The 911 is really cool though and has awesome history but if i wanted cool & history I would go for a DB7 or an E-Type

I drove it before I bought it and what a beast (lol, especially with the Sport button on). I LOVE THIS CAR so much - I've had a lot of Mustangs including a Saleen and also owned an '04 Honda S2000. All shite compared to this god of a car. I've never driven or been in a car with so much soul. I will pay for and replace anything and everything this car needs to keep it for a very long time. Engine blows? So what, I'll replace it. Lastly, if you own one of these do yourself a favor and get the Stromung mufflers. Not too loud at all for this old guy but still quite beefy.

    I just bought the M coupe about a month ago, I had the same debate. I appreciate the rarity of the car (1815 in the US), fantastic to drive, I think it looks better than even the new M3. I like the stripped down tech, only two performance buttons, one that turns the trac control off, and the other to change the throttle response. And it came standard with the limited diff, something that the Porsche did not. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either, both M and Cayman are driver's cars.

    @TENNSUMITSUMA think we got mixed up here, so what i mean is that power steering(its also called servo streering) makes it easyer for you to turn your streering wheel, like with 1 finger, wich means that even at such corners and speed when u shouldnt be able to turn it so easy by hand cuz it will understear(front sliding) u can turn it without a problem with power steering. i wasnt talking about traction control (wich btw just slows you down if you go with insane speed into insane corners)

    I opted for more daily drivable option, the Z4 3.0i G-power 300hp. It makes 43hp less at the top end but up to 60Nm more at 2000-4000rpm. She is not a screamer but driving with 1300kg car in tow that makes 375Nm of torque at 3800rpm is a blast.

    My guess is the Porsche as well(will cost more). The S54 engine has been around forever, with the M cpe/rdstr being the last to carry it, so that would likely not cause problems. I got the certified pre-owned, so i pay NOTHING for maintenence for the next 4 years, including brakes, (not tires). Long term reviews rate the Porsche pretty high in reliability though. From what I've read on the forums, people who have tracked their M since '06 haven't complained of anything major. that says alot.
