While I can`t speak for the BMW anything, having always owned
Porsches,
I can say that with the Porsche, you will have access to many online
resources for parts, technical assistance, and lower priced, high
quality OEM parts. The many Porsche tech groups and forums provide
information and repair assistance for all models thus making turning
your own wrenches and routine repairs an easy almost fun experience.
The camaraderie among Porsche groups and owners creates a vast
technical resource for the new owner.

I`m sure we all pity you in the predicament you`ve found yourself.
Drive each car and pick the one you get the biggest rush from and that
fits youre personal style. Then don`t spend the next few years
second-guessing the choice. Unless you`ve done _really_ well and can get
a new fun car every two years. Then what the heck?

Which reminds me of a cartoon I saw somewhere. A notice on the side of
a workshop: "Porsh servicing: $45/hr Porscha servicing $60/hr".
