My wife owns a new M3 Cab DKG and although this may not be a very good comparison because the M3 Cab weights substantially more than the Coupe and even the sedan, the "core" car is the same. I would never ever prefer the M3 over the 997, these are two different beasts from almost any point of view.

The new M3 is a very good car, the engine a treat (although no real fun in daily traffic because it requires high rev figures to be fast) but thats it.
