IMO Porsche vs BMW is an apples to oranges comparison. Compare BMW to Audi, Benz, Lexus, Infinity, Aura, etc.

This. Porsche accounts for a small percentage in the grand scheme of things.
I think as drivers, a lot of it has to do with how modern vehicles have all become the same. All look the same because of aerodynamics, mpg and safety standards. To build anything remotely different than the "norm" is also insanely expensive and becomes priced out of the range of many enthusiasts.
I've had more interest lately in finding an older "fun" car like an E30 or E46 in manual than anything newer. The excitement to cost ratio of a lot of newer cars simply doesn't make sense. How much more fun can you realistically have on the street with a 300hp car vs. a 600hp car?
