I was looking to replace my 2002 boxster

I was considering replacing my 2002 2.7 with a 2008-09 BMW 335 with about 30-40k miles. So I have been doing research on the car. I was hoping for a more reliable 4 seater yet having some level of sportiness. Then I started reading about their reliability issues and no thanks. I'll stick with the potential known issues of the boxster vs. the unknowns of the BMW. Karesh shows them pretty much unreliable on his site with tons of repairs. I'm going to spend some money on my boxster, replacing the clutch, rms, IMS, aos, and wheels and I'm all set for another 50-60k miles.

I'm reading of bad turbos, bad fuel systems that have been replaced countless times, valve issues, injector issues. I'll keep my boxster maybe buy a used 996.
