I know that amenities are not the reason why we drive these cars, but you will be very disappointed with the 997.1 electronics - they simply are not modern for an almost 6-figure car. The 997.2 cars were a decent upgrade (that is what I have), but they still are not as advanced as the new BMWs (not having BT streaming sucks!).
That being said, my 997.2 became my DD when I traded in my Cayenne and was waiting for my 5er to come and I really enjoyed driving the 911 to work every day. Sure, driving a bigger car is more convenient, but the 911 is much more exhilarating. The BMW will never drive as small or agile as the 911.
However, I 100% agree with the previous posters - if this will be your only car, get the BMW - it is nice having the option of not driving the small car.
