Just looking beyond the "looks"of both cars, the Bimmer is an engineering masterpiece in my opinion. I did the ED with the M6 and took it on the Nurburgring and Autobahn and all I can say it "what a car". So if the GC is anything like the M6 convertible, that would be my choice.
I drove an F10 M5 for a good half hour and came away feeling 50/50.

The good: customization (you can adjust the HUD height for christ's sake), build quality, comfort, acceleration.

The bad: WAY too quiet, felt massive, brake modulation was some of the worst I've experienced, and driving satisfaction was minimal.
