Had lots of wheel time in all of them. Hand's down, the 944 turbo is the giant killer for track and twisty's. Comparing to the BMW flagship coupes, the Porsche wins in cargo practicality. Also is far less problematic in mechanicals and electrics. Bonus is the fuel economy trumps those piggy BMW's.
That said, I think both of those BMW's are most handsome and IMHO, much better than the 944 body. Though the 944 galvanized panels has the body integrity. The BMW's will rust.
The 850 a very respectable and almost foolproof driver if tossing the keys to a wanna be joe racer. Put some faith into the cars equipped with ASC+T and mash the pedal by wire to the floor in a corner and turn steering wheel. Electrical's and reliability. I'm sketchy on them, especially now as they've aged. Replacement module and controllers can cost nearly what used motors are!
For the cool factor and timeless, the 6 series wins. The HVAC gremlins may come and go but if you keep up on the maintenance, dissect it once in awhile, it's fine. Agree with the other post here, and go for a euro spec., sans DOT and EPA crap. Go only with manual trans! These are for the DIY owner and much what I prefer today.
