I own a 2002 911 C2, and I can tell you that maintenance costs are FAR higher versus BMW. As stated by someone in this thread, if there is any mechanical engine failure, head gasket .etc they pretty much have to drop the engine out of the car to get at it. Not even changing the spark plugs on a Porsche is simple ordeal. Unless you are made of money, go with the SI. Even M maintenance isn't that bad.

M maintenance is really just the valve clearance check, right? The rest of the "maintenance" is pretty similar to other cars, maybe slightly more expensive. Of course, if you're talking part failure and replacement, I don't know much about cost of those things.
