If the whole two lane thing is real it is unquestionably the BMW driver's fault, he should be tot he right at all times unless passing and he wasn't passing. The only way the it is the Porsche's fault (and it is 80/20 the Porsche's fault imho) is if you acknowledge the whole two lane thing is not enforced and the Porsche should have expected the BMW to potentially not be to the right.
It cannot be both.

Right, it can't be both. It's not a two-lane road, it is a racetrack and the drivers of the cars are trying to drive as fast as they can, which means taking a racing line through the corners. It's not like the M2 was out driving to the grocery store to grab a liter of milk.
The Porsche driver put his car in the wrong place at the wrong time. How any laps on the 'Ring under TF is considered fun is way beyond me. I'd rather drive on the D.C. Beltway in Prince Georges County at 2:30 PM on a Friday afternoon. LOL.
