We are talking about $150k base+ 911 but anyhow gl with your plans and hope you enjoy it!
You can option it to have a nicer interior. The G8X has by far the highest quality 3 series interior (in terms of quality of materials and fit and finish) that BMW has ever produced. But a properly specced 911 still exceeds the interior of the g8x.

Even in the T... you can option it with leather surfaces everywhere which is what I did at $165k.

Anyway, I don't see that and the G80 as competitors (and certainly not an F80). They're fundamentally very different cars. One's a car with sporty capabilities and one's a dedicated sports car with the engine in the back. I see the 911 as a progression more so than a competitor. The desire to tune isn't so that I have the fastest 911 - it's to simply bridge the gap in power coming from a G8X.
