Well BMW is not worth the extra power as obviously its power to weight is worse.. Reason i bring this up is that these two are the final choice if you go to look for a sports coupe on the 2-3 year secondary car market. Is Porsche worth those USD 10-20 k more (adding PDK lets say). Difference on track for a hobby racer is only minimal !
