I believe BMW has the edge with paint work, and Porsche is more about cabin customization.
Nothing about that E63 stands out as extremely special. BMW offers full leather coverage down to the 3 series, and you can spec out a wide gamut of offered colours and materials. There's no custom embroidery on the E63, the vents are still plastic, the paint is just white. It looks good.
Porsche literally will let you cover everything in leather, including the vent slats and adjustment knob. It's not whether if you could, but rather if you should.
BMW will ALMOST let you paint the car any colour you want. If it's a colour they already offer or has painted before, then it's ~$5k. If it's a brand new colour they will charge a R&D fee, and then a paint fee. Some one tried to order their M3 in McLaren Volcano Orange or Volcano Red. BMW tried but couldn't replicate it in house. So that's a colour that they didn't/couldn't do. They do offer Grigio Telesto (Lambo gray), Ferrari Red, Nardo Gray (Audi). They also offer the gamut of RR colours as well like Purple Silk.
My M3 is painted in Laguna Seca Blue (E46M colour), I paid for it since it is offered. My 2nd choice would have been Atlantis Metallic, then San Marino Blue. I picked a regular interior colour with Silverstone, but in hindsight I should have ordered it in Tartufo.
