The BMW 1M and M2 are examples of low margin vehicles from BMW by the way, and have done exactly as intended , brought many newer, younger enthusiasts to the brand

You really need some more data points before deciding Porsche buyers are getting killed comparatively. Just guessing but the average P-car has to be 2x at least what the average BMW costs due to high volume of lower end 3-series selling at what $40k or less? From a margin perspective I don't see them making 3x the % BMW. Premium sure but not that bad.
Either way for manufacturing companies the margins are about in line to better than what you'd typically see.
