I could go on and on. For one the 911 is designed from the ground up as a sports car. The M3 starts as a f30 320d and they mod it up from there. The M engineers have to start their work with a compromise.

The engine is behind you. Sorry but front engine cars are nowhere near as balanced as mid or rear engine cars. Look at the top 'ring times... the viper is the fastest front engine car and ranks #10.

911s hold value better. they make leases difficult on purpose as to not dilute the brand like BMW does with the M cars. They know exactly what they're doing when it comes to supply and demand to make sure their customers don't get taken to the cleaners when it comes time to sell, especially with GT3 models. Meanwhile you can get crazy good deals on year old M3CS cars sitting on lots.

When the 991 gt3 was having engine issues. They not only recalled all the cars, but slapped on a long ass warranty as well. Meanwhile BMW won't acknowledge crank hub issues.
