    I know this is an older video, but the comparison was not well thought out. You have a Boxter S with a few mods pitted against a 35i standard. The Z4 should have at least had the 35is model, or include the M suspension package on the 35i. I know there is a higher model Boxter, but there is no GT level option in the Z4 - not available to the public consumer.

    Lucky me I didn’t see this video before when I had the choice between these specific cars. Probably my choice would have been different.
    But back in the day I took the Z4. (And I still own it!) 35i with manual transmission. Why? I also checked out a used Boxster S and I realised the small Porsche engines tend to fail. On the other hand side, the BMW is a little too heavy and it tend to understeer. But nothing a KW coilover couldn’t fix. Good tires and a few other performance upgrades do the rest.
    At the end the Porsche is the better stock car, but the BMW does have more potential with a few upgrades.

    BMW never even attempted an M version (funny how BMW's only "sports" car has no M model). I'm a big bmw fan, and absolutely love the Z4 GTE - but I don't know what is going on with BMW,. Imagine a fixed-roof version of this with the S65 V8. Instead we got an X5M, X6M, M5, M6, soon to be M8. Being the ultimate driving machine - there is no halo car (save the i8, but that's more tech halo than outright sports car). Audi has the R8, Mercedes has the GT and their new AMG-ONE. BMW has stated no Z4M for the new Z4. Given that the Z4 is BMW's only "sports" car, you would expect an "M" version. The 8-series should not be their race car (though it looks fantastic). I guess if you want an Z4 M, you will need to sacrifice the badge and get a Toyota?

They both have high speed tires on them and I am one of the unlucky ims failures..so a 9000 dollar bill on a car with 71000 miles soured my opinion.. I really wanted the porsche to be wonderful..

    They didn't review the cars, they just ate shit with boxes and on the track. Compare track times if you want speed, but the Z4 is a cruiser car and the Boxster is geared more for racing. Like comparing a SL500 to a Miata. They both will get you laid though, and that's all that counts. Z4 for commuting, Boxster for weekend carnage.

      No, the bigger engines on the Z4 are inline 6, with the lower end models having 4 cylinders only. Flat 6 has become like Porsches hallmark as so few others still do it, much like inline 6 has for BMW. Flat 6, in my opinion sounds much better. Also the Boxster S is 3.4L vs the Z4 3.0L giving the Boxster S a deeper rumble. Can't ignore the mid engine layout either, which is the layout of almost every super car since the 80s. Boxster sounds better, more power, much better handling. There's just no contest.

      Jason Georgiades "flat 6 has become Porsche's trademark"... funny you mention that, the current generation Boxter has a flat 4. Still a great car though. I love both the Boxter and the Z4. I do prefer the original (e85) Z4, though I might be biased since I own one.

    the scene at around 3:20 is pure shite. The boxster s was practically standing still there to "allow" the zed to overtake her. No f'in way mate. The Porsche pulls like a freight train. What bollocks!

    im years late but I noticed they pitted a Porsche Boxter S against a normal BMW Z4 35i instead of the faster 35is with M suspension... that's fair (sarcastic). But yeah.. the Z4 is a much better looking car.

    what everyone appears to miss is that the tests they do are not typical to what 99.999% of people do in their everyday driving and so the concusion they come to is not useful and the porsche is more expensive to buy and run so it should be 20% "better", but for me it's just not

      kicksoffs So it's more of a GT car. If I'm a young man who wants a new car to enjoy and daily drive, I'd get a Z4. If I'm a bit older and already have a daily driver, I'd get the Porsche for better spirited drives.

      You'd be surprised, I have a 2014 boxster s and other than $300 annual checkup and some tires ever 10k miles, it's been running like clockwork. And I'm not alone, after the first 2 generations kinks were worked out, they are off-the-charts reliable. Every beemer I've had (but no z4) has been a nightmare in maintenance costs. (I also think the Porsche looks tons cooler, but of course I'm biased)

      Or one prefers the looks of the Z4 over the Boxster's and that metal folding roof is way more appealing then the soft top but if you really are after the best driving dynamics then it has to be the Boxster.
