If it's just strictly a weekend car, I'd personally go for the boxster even though tip is kinda gross(my .02), but if he's going to be using it as a daily driver/ fun weekend car id go for the m3. As far as higher mileage bimmer's, my summer beater 645ci comin up to 90,xxx and my winter beater is a e39 528i and it's been pretty reliable. It's comin up to 150,xxx and only problem that's popped up was a bad water pump.
