Some data from the sport auto-comparison Z4 M coupe vs Cayman S:

Acceleration Z4 M / Cayman S:
0-100 km/h: 5.2 / 5.7 secs.
0-200 km/h: 18.9 / 19.8 secs

18m-slalom speed: BMW 68,1 kmh, Porsche 69,2 kmh.
Weight: Z4 M 1466 kg, Cayman S 1412 kg.

Due to its brilliant chasis, very neutral handling and excellent brakes, the weaker Cayman is faster on the track.
Lap times Hockenheim: BMW 1.17.2, Porsche 1.16.9. Lap times were taken on a hot summer day, what added ca 1 sec to lap times of both cars (according to sport auto).

Porsche is also the better every-day-driver and overall the more sophisticated car. BMW offers a lot of power for your money, on the other hand...
