BMW Z4 v Porsche Boxster Dogfight - Features

[Trottski101]

Buy the ///M version in the Z4. You wont be disappointed, just brilliant to drive.

[thugztaa]

@Trottski101 i dont think you can be disappointed in any sort of bmw

[jimtimings]

I have to say, the BMW is an interesting looking car - however, I think it'll date badly compared to the Porsche. The Porsche has strong, classic lines that will always look good.

Compare a 97 z3 to a 97 boxster and you'll see what I mean, the boxster is still an attractive car. The z3 however... Ug-a-lee!

[benjuddrocks]

good test! the one i would buy would be the bmw because if i was going to get a porsche i wouldn't get a boxter i'll problay get a 911 turbo

[nickeroo]

Haha, right. That's like saying, instead of getting a BMW one series you're going to get an M5, slightly differnet price point there. WHy not just go for the Carrera GT while you're at it!? ;-)

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@nickeroo haha nice one, you talk a lot of sense ;-)

[nickeroo]

Always great to see these two guys oversteering on a track.

Shame the test is flawed, you can't test the M coupe with the Boxster 2.7, it should have been the 'S'. Can't believe they've did it.

[ChrisTsitlakidis]

ah, you drive the 2.7 l , easy to see from the exhaust at 0.47 time

[soobeng]

Anyway, Nissan fair lady 350Z can smoke them both, easily. The fifth gear programme is much better than TOp Gear.

[LInebacker998]

WEll no shit but the 350z stock version won't beat the z4

[Ialocin85]

I would choose to own a Z4 over a Boxter anyday.

The boxter is for people who can not afford the best Porsche cars..

The Z4 is for BMW fans. The BMW looks better to!

[EPIK562]

nah, the porshe boxtser, personally, is one of the best looking porsches ever, performance aside. and the boxster is much better looking that the z4. but to each is own. =]

[EPIK562]

im not a dumbfuck dude. i know that. obviously porsche could have made the boxster and cayman much more powerful. (probably more powerful than most 911s) i was simply stating that the porsche was a better car than the z4. we werent discussing the handling characteristics of the two cars nor the performance.

[nickeroo]

My comment was in reply to Ialocin85 saying it was a car for people who can't afford 911's. Not sure why it didn't come up under his comment, I clicked the reply button. Wasn't aimed at you EPIK562, so didn't think you were a dumbfuck. :)

[EPIK562]

oh, haha fer sure man. sorry bout that. i recieved the comment and assumed it was projected at me. porsche ftw!!!!

[nickeroo]

The Boxster is mid engined, 50/50 weight distributed, totally sorted chassis, purpose built sports car. Its widely regarded as one of the best handling cars of its category and generally in sports cars. It just lacks power to really exploit the chassis, because Porker don't want to eat into 911 sales. Done the same with Cayman. Yet you think its 'just for people that can not afford the best porche cars'. You embarrass yourself with your ignorance.

[Ialocin85]

If you have the money to buy a 911, u buy it. If you have the money to buy a RUF RT12, you buy it.

Its as simple as that.

[benjuddrocks]

i totaly agree!!! posche make there cars with money in mind not passion and the cars are specially made to be in a certain price range

[nickeroo]

That is actually nonsense. You base your opinion on what facts other than your own prejudice? German motoring companies product development teams are run by engineers not accountants or marketing men.

[MrShriepshroepshrap]

@nickeroo i think the bmw z4 is the better burnout-driftcars end fun car greetz

[nickeroo]

Agree with that, Boxster too neutrally balanced to do a lot of drifting in. And a serious lack of guts, 's' the only Boxster to go for.

[clu4u]

Z4 is for gays, hairdressers n chicks who can't afford M cars.

[schubidubap]

@Ialocin85

Go get a Z4, you can't even spell "Boxster" right.

[clandestinerex]

good car review, but not the same with out Top Gear presenters to make fun of each other lol

[premier122]

LMAO 0:44 what did he say?

[albatored]

Stupid english !!

[okrabay]

his brakes went out?? bad PR for Porsche

[kawasakiexpress]

Not really,he was driving a BMW!

[spineboy]

Brakes went out on the BMW. It's just about impossible to overheat the Boxster S brakes.

[greavsie6672]

It's not a Boxter S, it's just the 2.7 !

[jb123564]

i had a z4, and the boxster well betr trust me..

[doublearon86]

s2000 ownss!!

[wrx4life44]

its not a bad car but i wouldn't say owns

[christian915]

BMW!!!!!

[RoddyCSF]

Wouldn't thank you for a bmw.

[44bucks]

I think that BMW did kind of stumble on styling this time, but the engine is awesome. The porsche, however, is flawless!

[Jashu9110]

The Z4 sucks! It's an ugly and class less American made car, I driven both and beg to differ with this test. The Porsche handles way better and generates way more looks! I own a Boxster S and have left Z4's on straight aways and cornering easily.

[christian915]

Ok..whatever you say Mr. Pro Race Driver! lol!!! you wish!

[julian1h]

fuck of you idiot..... were you on drugs

[teratogen42]

Is that a Boxster or Boxster S?

[2fight4]

its a normal Boxster, the Boxstter S is a different league.

[welshdude6669]

Its in the same league as the Z4 M i'd say

[jstnhnh]
