If it wasn't my DD I would have gone with a used 911 myself, certainly a better financial choice as you could likely drive it for a couple years, sell it, and basically pay next to nothing in net carrying costs.
I went with the M8 for the DD because I didn't have the space for a third car. Much better ride and interior for longer or more casual trips than the 911, a little extra drama/excitement over the M5, and with the deals, it leased out cheaper than the M5 even though the MSRP was 25k more than a comparable car.
I'm also a bit of a BMW fanboy so I likely wouldn't have pulled the trigger on a P-car anyway. Having a dealer within walking distance of my house for service doesn't hurt either.
