Porsche please! Should it have been my own money I would have gone for the BMW. I think it might be the best value for money in the group.

Of course,while the C63 might smoke the others cars in straight line and M3 is usable everyday both cars can't just touch the exotic feel of the Maseratti or Porsche IMO.

B3. Comfortable ride, impressive performance and it's the cheapest.

We all know that C63 and M3 are excellent cars i'm dying to have one of both but they simply can't touch the charm and sexiness of the GT or the sporty character of the 911.

Where I live the Porsche is more everyday than the M3 or C63....I hardly ever see the C63, sometimes an M3 (because there are 3 models), and 40 times a day a 991/S, so....M3 for me

Porsche is way too standard, Maserati too slow and I don't like non German cars much, B3 is sweet but I'd rather have the real thing.

The real thing? B3 is an alternative, not a M3 wannabe.

Yeah i know about the everyday usability of the 911 but IMO the M3 is still better for everyday car and probably cheaper to service,the only drawback of the 911 that there's too many of them which for sure makes them very normal looking.Believe me when i say that C63 or M3 turns more heads than 911.

The Maseratti in it's "standrad" GT form is no match for the 911 but the S version definitely takes my vote for looks,power and that V8 sound

Re: Alpina B3 / M3 DKG / GranTurismo / Carrera S PDK

If I could have the Porsche C2S with manual, I would take it over all of them but since they're all automated

Maserati
Porsche
M3
Alpina D3

Porsche unless I have to seat 4, in which case M3. Maserati is the prettiest of the lot and the Alpina is probably the most comfortable one to live with.
