saw this yesterday. fault at 50-50 from what i can see. if new evidence i will be happy to change my mind.
BMW moved right when the racing line is left. by moving away from racing line it appeared to show he was allowing the pass. yes the rule says blinker but that's not always used. a lot of these guys don't know where the blinker stalk is or what it does, some let their subscription expire.
Porsche is 50% at fault. the person making the pass bears responsibility to ensure the pass is safe, a bit like downhill skiing. he should not have tried to complete the pass on the curb at 200kph! he should have braked hard. but this is how people seem to drive on the Ring these days, cultural 'norm'.
who is more at fault is difficult. these things happen so fast at 200kph. if pushed i still say 51% to porsche but no more. just because of the 'norms' (vs rules) and how quickly it happened. legally i think both will bear the same cost burden of repairing the track and their own cars.
