While BMW seems to have improved the feel and functionality of the 6MT with the E90 cars it is still no where near as perfect feeling as Porsche's manual.
Personally, I love a properly design, great feeling manual, but I just don't feel BMW has got it right enough in the M cars to truly satisfy anyone who's owned considerably better feeling manual transmissions.

I hope you weren't basing your decision because of a test drive in an M3 with low miles. While I totally agree the BMW manual is nowhere near as good as Porche's, it does improve a lot with miles. After 10k or so it loosens up quite a bit and is less notchy.
