Both interiors are pretty plain in my opinion. I had a double din in my M3 and am planning on putting one in the C4S...this should spice things up a bit. Oh yeah, the seats on the porsche are WAY better. I didn't have the optional lumbar or width adjustment on the M3 and I felt like I was sliding around sometimes. The C4S seats hug me just right...I'm not sure how a fat person would fit in it though.

I had the e46 M3 convertible and I was able to fit 4 people in my car relatively comfortably, while with the 996 no one in their right mind will sit in the back seat.

Anyone familiar with both and could offer their opinions on how the c4 would suite my needs. I like the m3 spaciousness and would get a dinan s2 car or similarly modded car. Anyone know of any nicely modded c4s's in the N. calif area? Or nice stock ones?
thanks for any helpful feedback.

Hey all, thanks for some well thought out responses. Very valuable and way helpful. In the end, I think the space and practical nature of the M3 wins out for me. I found one that is a Dinan S2 car, with JRZ coilovers and with 3.91 gearing which will drop the torque band into the sweet spot for the local roads.
It also has brembo bbk and a ton of other really tasty mods. I know the c4s would be a sharper tool for the twisties but I am hoping the JRZ Dinan setup will bring the M3 close and bottom line, if I want to carve it up I am blessed to have even sharper tools in the garage.
So practicality(with a twist) won out!

i just got rid of my C4 cab, not a C4S, but i will say that if my m3 were stock instead of the mods i have, it would not be as much fun. i still think my C4 cab with just an exhaust was a little bit more fun. the c4 was a 10/10, the m3 would rank 9/10 for fun factor. again, the mods make it more fun, stock for stock, i would take a even a cayman s over the m3.

C4S is the choice I'd make (vs E46 M3).

Not real happy with their work so far and am thinking about bringing it home and really putting an effort into it. Heres a link to an ad that has all the info on the car and if you or anyone is interested and able, shoot me an email or pm. Its special in that its light weight and has less restrictive breathing than US cars.
