Personally i'd go with the GR86 6MT .You can't beat that manual feeling.After that my major factor would be weight ,BMW is almost 300kg heavier if not more.BMW Service and OEM parts are too expensive even for small things and it doesn't matter if it is a new car or a 10years old.I had a BMW K75 motorcycle two years ago and genuine parts were too expensive for no reason.And i have a lot of friends with BMWs or MINIs and i know.So i believe after 5years of ownership you may end up pay far more for the BMW than the GR86.Otherwise 2series coupe are fun to drive cars but more on the GT side.With the new GR86 interior being much improved i wouldn't think of the bmw.BMWs are too common in this part of the world where you live so GR86 will be more unique and it will not lose value.

I don't think you will enjoy the 2series as much as the GR86.
