Best companion car for E55

Hi, guys - Might be a weird question in the W211 forum but I know what kind of answers I'd get in the BMW and Porsche message boards so I was hoping to tap into some opinions here.

I have to get rid of one car. I'm keeping my 2006 E55 sedan. The two other cars I have are:

2006 Porsche Cayman S manual, 35k miles
2013 BMW 135is manual, 53k miles

I'm wondering which one you guys think makes for the better companion to the E55. I have gone back and forth on this so many times...

The BMW is super fun and nice to drive around town but not a dedicated sports car like the Cayman is. But the BMW is newer, which is nice.

The Cayman is not great to drive around town (I live in LA) because of the rough ride and heavy clutch but is of course fantastic on a twisty road, etc. And it's in amazing condition...looks nearly new.

So, if you had to pick one to keep alongside the E55, which would it be?

I'd keep the Porsche. I'm biased having two 911s but I think a Porsche makes the perfect companion piece.

Cayman. Your E55 will be great in city with its comfort and performance. The Cayman is a has a different character and would be great for those weekend trips on some good twisty roads. Whatever may be, I honestly would pick a Cayman over the BMW.

Porsche is definitely the more special car, keep it.
