Meanwhile every BMW I've ever had was constantly leaking something and the repair costs over a much shorter ownership period far exceeded Porsche, including having to replace the whole engine in my E92 after it blew for the second time (first time under warranty).
Really? I have found Porsche maintenance to be considerably more expensive than any BMW I have owned. A simple oil change can be $300 at an Indy shop and $400+ at the dealership. Any sort of 20k, 40k, etc mile service will cost thousands. The Porsche tax makes the M tax look like a drop in the bucket.
