Sure it is Porsche money for the "base" Porsche cost. And as we all know, nobody really specs out a Porsche as "base". There are so many nickel and dime options that are typically standard in other models. All said and done, there is still quite a bit of delta between the BMW and Porsche equivalent.
Therefore, in terms of pricing strategy, BMW has determined that $83.6K is possibly a stretch, but still attainable, while the Porsche, you will be seriously going to another price bracket all together.
Where I see competition on this price is with other entirely different models. For example, me personally I would consider the Mercedes GLE 450 or BMW 8 series grand coupe 840i. Sure, it's not a direct performance competitor, but it's fighting towards these more luxurious products. I know I'm not alone cross shopping these disproportionate options.

You might as well try to explain quantum physics to a pig.
Some people are not very intelligent. This is the same crowd that said that for 130k they've buy a GT3 instead of a M4 GTS... ignoring that over in the real world you need ~150 for a 911 GTS and more like 200k for a GT3.
A Cayman S with normal options is close to 100k... I don't know why anyone feels the M2 CS is overpriced.
There are some disgusting P car fanboys that for whatever reason want to stick around the M forums. God knows why. If I had a Camaro and there was some asshat in the Camaro forum going on and on and on about how wonderful M cars are... I'd seriously wonder about them.
Everyone just adores how Porsche will sell a 4 banger Cayman S to you for 100k and praise how wonderful it is... now don't complain when BMW takes a page out of their book and starts offering seven thousand versions of their M cars.
