Well after takling to more owners of Boxster S's I'm leaning that way.

I can't really get an answer about that rear suspension "spookyness" on the Roadster and I won't want to, in a car I buy. Even BMW owners say the Boxster "S" has the upper hand in the control department. I like the increased power from the BMW and I think the BMW wins in the aggressive looks department while the Porsche looks great in a much more classy, refined way.

I guess it comes down to reliability and price. Is the Porsche more rock solid than the BMW and is the edge in handling and braking worth the extra 5k-7k {depending on the Coupe or Roadster}.

I'm also in Canada so add 20% to all prices. :ah:
