Has anyone compared BMW M Roadster to the Boxster S?

You really have to drive the car. There's no way to put into words how the Boxster drives. Honestly...no exaggeration.

I wasn't even looking for a Boxster after I sold my E36 M3. I was looking at the E46 M3 and Z06. Both are significantly quicker than the Boxster and are world-class handling cars in their own rite.

However, the M3 handling dynamics just didn't do it for me. It felt heavy and nothing like the E36. The Z06, while ungodly fast, felt cheap and crude. Handling didn't feel connected at all.

I came across the Boxster S kinda by accident. I used to think it was the "poor man's Porsche" and all that. Plus, I'm not even a convertible guy. But after one drive I was HOOKED. Since I bought my S brand new, I could've easily saved $$$ by getting the M3 or Z06. But neither of those cars even come close to the driving dynamics of the Boxster. It's that good.

Again, you really have to drive both. I have. The difference is huge no matter how closely they are on paper.
