without a doubt a M3 + S2000

I've driven all three, and (to me) the 911 tt is a big powerful GT a lot like the M3 on roids. You don't get the light nimble tossable feel of the S2000 and you don't get the snick-snick best shifter in the world. And if you need rear seats the M3 is better than the 911.

Might rather have the e90 330i + S2000 or EVO MR +S2000.

Of course the best is 911 tt + S2000

You would be hard pressed to find a better daily driver than the 996TT for any price. This is not something I thought after driving the car for an hour or even a week. It took some time to grow on me.

Simply put, the 996TT makes the right compromises in the right areas.

Bomber and Rai make some valid points.

I'd take the M3 and S2000.

M3 has a usable back seats.
