Hmmm forced induction 4 seater versus a dedicated sports car chassis with an NA 6... what a mystery.

[agroves]

"A marginal gain for a lot more money": the official slogan of the CS trim level.

[-DC-]

Quality of these reviews deserves so many more viewer's Dan is killing it 💪

[gigiilmilionario]

It's hard to decide, the cayman is more sporty but the bmw is more comfy in every day use (4 seats and a good trunk)

[garethholden]

M2 comp and £2k worth of suspension, job jobbed

[curvetrcalinga]

Even if it gets pitted with a Cayman S, I will chose the mid engine flat six because the center of gravity is spot on.

[xlyfpck]

The answer is simple, one of each. DCT M2 CS for the daily commute and a manual GT4 for weekend blasts...if only, hey.

[seanoconnor]

The S55 still sounds horrendous too. Give me the Porsche every day of the week

[gtsspeed]

A, ways enjoy your reviews Dan. Great channel.

[limpunsing]

Top notch video review Keep it up guys

[adamkelsall]

Nice one Dan. It's all about the damping. I'm thinking M2 Competition with a set of Ohlins R&T Dampers, camber plates, Michelin PS4S tyres and a geo to give it a really precise front end. And save £35k over a CS.

[Breadfan]

I'd choose the Porsche in a heartbeat.
It's a real race car.
The BMW seems more like a standard coupe with is tuned to the limit.

[NFiltrRed]

I love the M2 CS wheels, that’s about it.

[j.]

Oh boy a “lightweight” BMW. Errr. Wait it’s still 3500 lbs.

[thomasmrozovich]

Is that a lighter than usual yellow, or is the blue filter messing with my eyes? The Porsche looks amazing.

[timmietz]

Thank you very much for this video. Really enjoyed it. I do not however agree with the choice of the competitor out of the Porsche lineup for this comparison test. It should’ve been the 4.0 GTS. Here in the US, the M2CS with carbon ceramic brakes is $27, 000 cheaper than the GT4 with the carbon ceramic brakes and a few other options. 4.0 GTS is spot on pricewise though.

[hazarddavid]

At your request Dan, i humbly subscribed...

[snake]

I'm surprised they cost the same in UK. Here in Canada the GT4 is much more expensive.

[gb]

Can anyone please explain how these two cars cost are the same ?

[darkblueturbo]

Can I have both. I suspect they both respond well to different moods. The Cayman for a full on ‘drive’ and the M2 for a hairy chested attack of a road.
