The 'normal' 997's are fantastic cars, but they're not the lightest versions, and they're significantly down on power vs your M4. the really special drives are the GT models.
The kind of Porsche experience you seem to be referring to is a rep that they earned with their air-cooled cars (993 and earlier). Those are even more down on power vs an M4, but the full sensory experience is really tough to match.
Those are even more expensive than a 997, though, because everyone seems to have been let in on the secret (and the sharks have followed that demand).
