Boxster S vs Z4 on Top Gear
Hi All...
I put this vid together from the recent Top Gear comparing the Boxster S with the new Z4. I won't spoil it.

I miss a bunch of stuff on it that the old one had!
Bigger wheelarches, M gills on the sides, "Lipped" wheels, M mirrors, not stock sideskirts like the new one has, two tone interior, no SMG option, it even has the same engine as the old one (not that its bad in any way)... I could go on... Just felt like the new M Z4 was a rush-job to sell some more Z4s

Go buy the new Cayman non S for 45K US and drop a 3.8 in it and a set of coil-overs for about the same price of a Cayman S---proceed to beat up on C6, M Coupe and a 997S
I still like the old Z3 Mcoupe more.

down time spent in the project
cost of 3.8 engine
conversion cost
resell value
etc
wouldn't cost arm & leg? sure it's easy to say. but with the money spent u can get a much better car. it's one of those fun project no doubt but realistically it's not a good way to compare them.
