Now Im not sure where you're going with the Cayman/1M comparison, they are again very different cars, both have their strenghts and weaknesses. Neither are prestigious though from an objective point of view.
My point was simply that there are plenty of cars out there that are priced similarly to other cars where with one of them you get more bang for buck, and with the other you are paying a premium for the brand or image. GT500 vs. M3 is another example. Or GTR vs. 911 S. Or tons of others.

The more salient point was that someone who chooses a BMW over a comparably priced Porsche should be able to understand fairly easily why someone else might choose a BMW over a comparably priced Aston or Maserati.
