dollars wise, fully loaded the M3 comes out to around 65k, whereas the 911
starts out in that price range. you can easily spend another 10-15k just to
personalize it........and you will want to do this. if you can afford it,
go for the 911.
my brother has a 2003 M3 bought in 12/2002. it needed a new transmission
during the first 6 months. then the stick shift BROKE off in his hand while
shifting. yes, BROKE off. the BMW service center said this is the first
they have seen this. they said they have seen stick shifts come out of
their place before, but never brake off. he has also had other small
problems with the power windows and power door locks.
the car has been in for service at least once every 2 months. he decided to
call BMW to complain, but they did not give a shit. their answer was "not
all of our cars have problems like this."
i am not a BMW basher. i own a 2001 530i and my wife drives a 2002 X5. we
have had no problems with these cars.

While I can`t speak for the BMW anything, having always owned
Porsches,
I can say that with the Porsche, you will have access to many online
resources for parts, technical assistance, and lower priced, high
quality OEM parts. The many Porsche tech groups and forums provide
information and repair assistance for all models thus making turning
your own wrenches and routine repairs an easy almost fun experience.
The camaraderie among Porsche groups and owners creates a vast
technical resource for the new owner.
