Just as well.....I have had enough of having to shout 'brace! brace! brace!' to any passengers every time I see a pothole.Just traded in my 2020 M2 for a base Taycan and am happy to have done it. M2 a nice and quick car but much happier w/ Taycan and speed is fine for Grand Touring (which is what I wanted). Taycan ride is much more comfortable than M2.
Glad to hear. I keep going back and forth between wanting to get something more "hardcore" for the price (like an M3, C63, etc) and getting a rwd taycan, or base cross turismo. As an enthusiast, I kind feel like I should want those cars instead of a Taycan but I just really love the looks and ride quality of the Taycan. It also handles incredibly given the size, weight, and comfort.Just as well.....I have had enough of having to shout 'brace! brace! brace!' to any passengers every time I see a pothole.
With air suspension the Taycan is going to be in another league comfort wise.
Not knocking the M2 though.....Its been a fantastic car to own these last few years.
As a previous BMW M3 owner and a current Taycan 4S owner, I can tell you that the 4S is the way to go if you're looking for the fun factor of a true sports sedan. I did not get that feeling from the Taycan RWD, so I stripped out some of the options and went with the 4S. I don't miss any of the options that I dropped; I would do it again ?Glad to hear.

gotcha. Yeah, I’m hoping the cross turismo with its dual motors feels half way between a RWD and 4s. My spec is coming out to 106k. So even if I got a completely base 4s it would still be more. I don’t think I’m willing to give up all my options just to get more power.As a previous BMW M3 owner and a current Taycan 4S owner, I can tell you that the 4S is the way to go if you're looking for the fun factor of a true sports sedan.

Hey where in CA are you from? Also want to ask if you miss or regret selling the M3 at all? I have a F82 with 587WHP and will possibly sell it once my RWD Taycan arrives at the end of the year. Just hoping not to regret selling the M4.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I used to own an M3 Competition and I loved it. I definitely regretted selling it, but that only until I picked up my Taycan.

I am driving an F82 right now and the RWD is definitely slow in comparison. My wife is ordering the 4s and she felt the RWD was just too sluggish off the line. She felt quite strongly on why paying $100k and going backward.Hey where in CA are you from? Also want to ask if you miss or regret selling the M3 at all?

Man your f80 looked sweet! Wish you lived closer hahah. I actually work at a Porsche dealership and took the rwd taycan for a weekend 4 weeks ago. Last week I finally pit the order in. I went with the rwd because I get 20% off the base model and not the 4S. I don't remember how fast or quick it felt. We just sold that model already. I'm hesitant on testing out the 4S because I don't want to fall in love with it hahah. This will actually be my first non coupe , non turbo, non manual vehicle. I just got engaged a couple months ago and need a family car. But yeah, I've actually never tracked the m4. Mostly canyon runs.I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I enjoyed test driving the Taycan RWD, but I did not get that exhilarating feeling that I got while driving the M3—and my M3 was not tuned like yours. I immediately felt a difference when I started driving the 4S. The acceleration is very similar (0-60 in ~3.8s) so that was expected.
Don't get me wrong, the Taycan RWD is outstanding by any measure. To me, it felt more like driving a BMW 5-Series than an M3. For many people, that's totally fine. I would just recommend test driving it before your order is locked.
On a side note, if you haven't already, I would highly recommend taking your M4 to the track before selling it. Here's my M3 at Laguna Seca
