The E92 is much more comfortable and quieter for an everyday sports car. The hydraulic steering is amazing and the deep authoritative rumble of the V8 is light years ahead of the flat six. The suspension is softer but the car is significantly heavier and easily unsettled over uneven road surfaces, not sure why.

Decide for yourself, you write the check...
I own a 991.1 C2S and an E92 M3 as well and Bemo is spot on.

Also want to point out that some of the plastic components on the door and dash of the interior look and feel cheap, especially when compared to the M3 with its overall softer leather. The full leather option looks more fitting.

Interestingly the 911 seems to glide over potholes compared to the M despite stiffer chassis and suspension.
