If you have enough money to buy those kind of cars, why not buy both !
porsche 911
I never liked Porsche. But if you had the choice between BMWs, I'd recommend the Z4:

A few of my friends have Porsches. I have a Lexus. They say that when you have a Porshe though it's really nice it's not a car you would want to take on a trip because in Europe there aren't very long distances to drive. If you think you'll be spending some time and adding some miles to your new vehicle think about something you're going to enjoy being inside of. But an M3 or M5 would be something to look at, my friend Mario just bought and M3 and he loves it. There are so many choices, deciding on my lexus was tough but when you get something nice like that it's hard to go wrong.

Where do you live?
If in the US like many members, does it really matter from a performance standpoint? The last time I checked all BMWs except the Ms were limited to 130mph. (Like you would drive 85+ for more than 5 minutes anyway in the US....)
Cars are my livlihood - and 50% of our cars go to the US market. It has been whispered - of the record - that that market wears its cars instead of drives them, but that it too simplified.
The US roads, by and large are wide and straight, but in comparitively poor condition. The demands are simple unless the driver is pushing the car and the legal limits. (Same applied for Japan - except the roads are almost flawless...opposite= A10/A12 LaSpezia to Nice or Futa/Raticosa...) I have spent and spend several weeks/months a year in the US, with professional drivers, mechanics, designers and engineers (like myself) - and the chance to push any of our cars, or even the two you mentioned, only exists on the track. (Northern europe too, but Germany is the last northern hold out....We still test the finished cars on public roads in Italy )
The honest answer - buy the 6 cylinder BMW and equip it with a 6 speed and the "sport" options. If you are a label fetishist, order it without the numbers on the back - or if you need the ego boost - buy the numbers for the 8....
Besides, Porsche stopped making sports cars a long time ago.....

i haven't really noticed these bad roads that much here in america. but then again, tennessee roads were rated the highest in quality by truckers and considering about 1/3 of all vehicles on roads in tennessee that's pretty good. i think the worst is california which do have really shitty interstates. they just pour lines of tar all over the roads and it makes for a constant thump thump as you drive across them.
