Welcome to the board. You'll find people on the board come from all sorts of vehicles, including airplines, boats, and the occasional animal. The newest Z4s are stunning! I certainly would like a Z4 35i.

Welcome McBee from slightly north of you. I congratulate you on your purchase of a Boxster S. I have a 2001 Boxster base and have yet to make a drive yet to Cal/Ariz yet. You sound like you know what you are looking for with a background of BMW's and not rushing in to buy the first Box you looked at. What made you switch to the Boxster after all those years of owning a BMW? How many kms on your Boxster S?

I wanted the handling and although my 35i Z4 was a monster it just didn't handle like the nimble little sports car it should be. My second choice was a Z3 M Roadster but to find one in excellent condition is like finding the Holy Grail, damned near impossible.
I also learned a lot trying to keep up to the Z3's in my 35i Z4 when we were doing the twisty's in California, and when I had my second Z3 I did a few twisty's in Az and New Mex. (Check out the Coronado Trail on Google maps ...Western NewMex...) The Z3/Z4 was always compared to and usually considered 2nd place to the Boxster in handling so I had to check it out.

81000kms on the Boxster.

Congrats on the new (to you) Boxster S and welcome to the forum. I've found the members here very friendly and more than willing to help with any issues that might come up.

The "search" function can be very helpful in answering many questions that regularly come up here.

Good luck with the delivery today, looking forward to pics
