I have had both, booster is a pure driving machine and probably the best balanced drivers car out there. That said the little BMW can do 0 - 60 in a little over 6.5 seconds and return 50+ mpg and carry my golf clubs in the boot / trunk with the roof down. Porsche can’t do that.
The reason for the space in front of the engine is to push the weight back to improve handling. It is not so they can put in a bigger engine, although they could if they chose to.
They not only could if they chose to, they do in the M40i, the engine IS bigger and especially longer. So yes, the engine is all the way back for the weight balancce, but the space is also to fit in the bigger engine.
@@dwnshft, what's a press car? Find out who gave it to you for the review. Track him/her down. It's not that difficult to determine if it's been sold or if they have the same model.
What is the essence of your comment? That quality increases with the price and vice versa? Congratulations on this great insight! Applies to cars and everything else.
@@Juergen_Mueller Actually, a Boxster S starts at $82,000 and a Z4 M40i starts at $66,000. I'm saying the M40i is better despite a near $20,000 increase in price. The pricing was not linear in my comment.
@@lawrencecheung9439 OK. However, the cars are quite different, so not only Porsche sales figures show that the same can be said for individual prioritizations.
That's nice and I think the dark purple is a superb colour. Not a fan of automatic gearboxes I wish they had an entry priced manual only 2.0l I'd a nd 1.5 and a Z3 1.9,the pleasure you get driving a roadster is hard to describe ❤
“My butt is going to be hot.” Mmmmmmmm I’ll leave that one alone but one can dream, can’t we ? Such a hottie. Good review! Can hear the enthusiasm in your voice.
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Z4 or Boxster?
There is a 20k price difference.

It hasn’t got a 48volt mild hybrid system.
Also many things you mention are options, not standard.
What kind of hybridization are you talking about here? I think you misunderstood this car.

*Great review!* I need to know: *WHERE* is this exact vehicle located? And is it available now? Perfect exterior; interior. Get back to me ASAP.
sorry it's a press car from last summer - no clue where it is now

Wi5hou5 considering the price, i honestly think the m40i is so gorgeous, sounds incredible and would be the ultimate best decision
Hey, I am renting one of these and have a bag with me with the width of 29 inches. Do you think it will fit in the front seat?
Lap Times
Track BMW Z4 30i (G29) BMW Z4 M40i (G29)
Autozeitung test track 1:40.30 1:39.00
I want to know about the speakers and the lumbar support, can I drive it for an hour or no?
yes
I need this car!!!
Had mine almost 2 years and didn't realise I had reversing cameras lol
Boxster GTS 4.0 > Z4 M40i > Boxster S > Boxster base > Z4 30i, IMO
would probably agree, but there's of course price to consider
no shit boxster gts 4.0 is better, it costs 30k more
