If you read through all of the posts at the bottom of this page you will see a bunch of people talking about how there engines blew with very low milage and basic driving and then how difficult a time they had getting Porsche to take care of them.
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.
