There does seem to be something inherently exclusive and special about this car. Sure, $100k elevates it to that level, but people seem to respond differently to this car than they would to a 911, S Class, SL, 7 Series, or even an M5. Sure, people in the know see an M5 and know what that badge means - same goes for a Carrera Turbo - but everyone seems to respect the F12/13 for its styling and presence. I'm not saying a 650i is "better" than a 911 Turbo or even a Carrera S, but those cars get noticed because "oh, that's a Porsche" (could be a Cayman, Boxster, or Carrera - who knows?). The bulkiness yet sleekness of the car really set it apart, and I doubt few people have ever looked at it and thought, "is that a 328i?"
I know I'm biased - I have a lot of respect for Porsches, Mercs, and the M5. I just think there's something to this generation of the 6 Series that elevates it above the typical clinical German-ness of other cars in the same price bracket.
