I went from a 135i to a 335i to a 987.2 Cayman. The car was all around far more capable than its predecessors...but, like OP says, it is a cold car to drive. You almost have to play/fight with the BMWs. Not that they aren't capable, but you really feel like you're driving the cars. The Porsche, at least off the track, does every thing in such a matter-of-fact, cold fashion. Turn in here, done. Unload/reload suspension, done. Stop now, done. The little bimmers are totally capable cars, but you feel like you're driving them. The Porsche is fun but it almost feels like it's just an exercise in entering commands and watching the car execute them. I never go to take it to a track so I imagine that's a little different. I did the new Porsche experience center in Carson, CA and got to spend some time in a 718CS on the autocross and 911 on the track and they were certainly fun, but had some of that same coldness to them. Hard to explain, and just not the same.
