I haven't been lurking long, but as of yet I haven't seen any blown engine stories on this site. Is buying a used Boxster really this dangerous. If so, I'm thinking the BMW is a better buy.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Squelch,

I don't think you can go wrong in your choice of a BMW or a Porsche. The Z4 and the Boxster are very different though so I would suggest making your decision based on the test drive. Just keep in mind that neither car is going to be cheap.
