      I wish. Newer BMWs are a pain to tune. Gotta remove the DME, ship it to finland to be unlocked, get a license for tuning software, have software installed, reinstall DME, then load your maps.
      Definitely not easy compared to something like a WRX or Mustang where you can buy a handheld tuner and get the car tuned in 15 minutes.
      They do make good power with a tune and bolt ons. It's just expensive, time-consuming and nerve-wracking to get them tuned.

      I've been looking at both on the used market and the biggest difference is that a low mileage, loaded Z4 M40i will have decreased ~$20K in price in 2 years, which has been very tempting to me to go get a used one. A used 2023 Boxster S would've originally cost around $85K, and 2 years later, it's STILL somewhere going for around $85K lol.

      ​@@JOBNUMBER The Boxster is a 4 banger, which turns off a lot of people. I owned 2 Boxster S's, both 981s with the 6, they were brilliant, but expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. I was offered an allocation for a 2024 Boxster GTS which would have had the 6, but throw in a couple options and you're at $140k.....ridiculous, especially for something you can't park outside in the rain without risk of water ruining the electronics inside the cabin.

  • @jbo2471

    Had both a base 718 boxster 2.0 and a z4 m40i. Here is the real world list of pro/con:
    Z4:
    + much more comfortable on cruise and highway
    + Engine noise is better at low rpm
    + Easier to rev on open road (see boxster below)
    + More practical (one bigger trunk is better than 2 small trunk
    - steering wheel feel numb
    - feel heavy to drive and less controlled that the boxster
    - gearbox feel slow on paddle rev
    - no ventilated seat
    - over 2 year lots of issue so I recommend buying on warranty
    - average on track (but both car are extremely expensive for tracking so unless you are very wealthy)
    Boxster 2.0:
    + feels sturdier in terms of quality
    + super fun to launch and in every day usage (thanks to the sport chrono button)
    + feels faster even on base boxster (less insulated)
    + steering wheel best in class
    + Porsche community is great (people hail on the road and so forth)
    + ventilated seat !
    + only car that I sold for more than I bought
    - issue with gearbox for open road rev, 7k rpm in 2nd gear goes at 120km/h… so you go in 1st gear sometime 🤣 feels bad
    - less practical
    - less comfortable on highway
    - Porsche premium warranty program is expensive

    Back in the 90's and 00's these kinds of roadsters were everywhere - Z3/Z4, Audi TT, Miata, Mercedes SLK - it as was a good time for sports cars and convertibles. This new Z4, even if not perfect - is now really the only one left. The Boxster is a slightly different thing, but obviously the most natural competitor. Still - B58, manual, roadster, not "crazy" money - and way more power than anything from that golden era... It's a cool ride and we will look back on these as special cars, because they won't sell many. I barely ever see new Z4's on the road.

      And because the aftermarket has quite a bit of the B58 floating around because half the BMW lineup has it and the Supra has it as well, there are plenty of aftermarket ready to push this thing 600bhp.
      Imagine thins thing on 550WHP, some clutch and shifter mods...

    Mazda Miata is the best value by far. This car is about $80,000. It’s great but VERY EXPENSIVE for most of us. Especially for a roadster or second weekend car. A “Frozen” color isn’t my taste by it’s all subjective.

    Would be so nice if they gave it the circular dual exhausts they used to do. I hate the trapezoids! Something always a little off to me with Z front ends, but overall still looks great. B58 is so fun!
