BMW Z4 vs Porsche Boxster
Discussion
Hi all, new year, new motor and I'm thinking to go for sthg a little less practical for the w/e’s.. I wandered if anyone had any thoughts re. these two. I've only driven the Z4 - enjoyed it, although I agreed with a lot of reviews re. the ride quality.
I like the looks/ interior (esp vs prev gen Boxster) too + can live with the grief from friends who think it’s a Z3/ think I shouldn’t be driving a hairdr.. convertible at all! (will see what they say on a sunny spring/ summer’s day..)
From most reports, it seems the Boxter's going to have the edge in driving (and ride?) though and I don’t mind getting a slightly older one (I've got about 13k to play with). On the other hand, running costs (esp on a slightly older one)... I would almost certainly avoid main dealers, but I imagine still a fair bit more than the BMW for parts etc.
I’d be grateful for any one’s thoughts and experiences of driving and running these two though. I’m prob looking at going for a 2.5si Z4 or base Boxster, but could be tempted to move up to the 3.0/ S.
Many thanks
