Practicality: M2C>718 GTS
Suspension: 718 GTS>M2C (unless BMW delivers some magic here)
Price: M2C>718 GTS
Engine: M2C>718 GTS
Transmission: almost equal, but slight edge to the porsche?
Looks and interior: personal taste, so up to you

In the end it depends what you want in a car:
Both will likely be very good drivers cars for the street. The 718 will probably be the better car around the track (time wise), but the M2C with the 6 cylinder might be more engaging.
I personally can't justify the price gap between the two (€25k?), love the 6-cylinder prospect, and I really like the practicality of having a backseat.

You might prioritise differently.
I look forward to this comparison..I guess it will be a matter of test driving each one...but what BMW dealer will actually let me test drive...they are all snobby and act like they are hypercars
