Re: Z4 M roadster vs Boxster S
i think the side grills would clash with the Z-slash on the fender, but yes, its a bit too similar in design to the normal Z4. which also means its easy for people like me to convert my car to a Z4YAM....hehe
but then again, there isn't much difference in styling between the Boxster S vs the Boxster either.......

Re: Z4 M roadster vs Boxster S
not just engine upgrade bro.
bigger brakes, LSD, quad exhaust, thicker steering wheel, normal mechanical steering column are just some things i can think of offhand.
if i could, i would sell a kidney to get my hands on one....but too bad i already sold one to buy my 2.5L.
TripleM,
don't M owners get invited to M track days that aren't open to the rest of us?

Re: Z4 M roadster vs Boxster S
It's kinda true actually. After having owned a Z4, it doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore. I thought the design was really radical and looked damn good but having seen it day in day out for a year, it's boring. The interior is spartan and uninspiring. Thinking back, I get the same feeling looking at the Z4 interior as I do in the rubbish Mitsubishi Lancer. Ryan asked if I missed it today, I said no, not at all.

Re: Z4 M roadster vs Boxster S
rhetorically, between the two, i would choose the 987s for 3 reasons:
a. z4m costs abt $25-30k more at $305-310 (got my m brochures 3-4 weeks ago) and has crap resale value vs the porker.
b. z4m will never get anywhere close to the handling of 987s, even if the latter is down to barebone options.
c. i have spare change for the psm option by choosing 987s vs z4m; that is, the former's handling will be lagi more impressive.
but the truth is... i won't get either of them. simply because the non-m 3.0i z4 smg/manual can smoke both (if they were stock) with less than $20k worth of mods. e.g. fi with a tm12. and, still be left with about $70k in pocket, nett cost of mods.
incidentally, the z4m is heavier by about 150kg than the non-m, if i recall correctly.
cheers

Re: Z4 M roadster vs Boxster S
Though different class of cars, i would top that tad bit of difference and get the RS4. Its anytime a better car. Only thing is that it needs a diet.
