BMW Z4 vs. Porsche Boxster S #TBT - Fifth Gear

It's #ThrowbackThursday! Watch as Jason and Tiff battle out which car is better, the BMW Z4 against the Porsche Boxster S. Firstly by doing a power slide contest then a classic race to the finish line.

I have owned the Z3 & now I have the 986 Boxster S. The Porsche is a fantastic car & it’s my daily drive. Both cars are nice but I will stick with the Porsche. 👍👍

The Z4 is better looking, but I like the Boxter too both amazing sports cars

[TommyboyGTP]

I love the handling of the Boxster and it's hard top sibling the Cayman.  Fantastic cars for sure!

The original Z4 is an underrated modern classic. I want one!

I have a older boxter 2.7 I'm not the best or worst driver in the world.. but I can say my porsche has absolutely humiliated every single challenger I've ever come across.. it corners fastet then anything else I've ever driven

In terms of styling, the Z4 definitely wins all the way. But in terms of driving dynamic, the Porsche still reigns supreme.

If i have to choose with this two cars, i will pick the z4 because, 1# i dont race my car, 2# for show off i think z4 is better looking, 3# i think z4 is suitable in all driving conditions and all weather conditions.

The porsche is a proper engineered sports car. The BMW z4 is a fancy handbag. Time for a

[Engleburt]

Cool! I'll go for the Boxster every time.

had to decide on a Z4 or a Boxster years ago. Test drove both, went with the Z4. Still have no regrets on picking it over the Boxster. It's a fantastic car, even as a daily.

I have a Boxster S Gen 2. It’s just fabulous.

all about your wallet. It's obvious that the Porsche is superior, but it's not better value than the Z4

I know this is an older video, but the comparison was not well thought out.  You have a Boxter S with a few mods pitted against a 35i standard.  The Z4 should have at least had the 35is model, or include the M suspension package on the 35i.  I know there is a higher model Boxter, but there is no GT level option in the Z4 - not available to the public consumer.

the scene at around 3:20 is pure shite. The boxster s was practically standing still there to "allow" the zed to overtake her. No f'in way mate. The Porsche pulls like a freight train. What bollocks!

[thecookingapple]

God that z4 looks so good, but given the choice between them I would have to take the boxster, so nimble and light, and mid engined

[thefilmandmusic]

Thé 987 is one of the gréât cars of all time, a design gem..

[OkulSmoK]

Went for the 987.2 Boxster S, didn't even consider any other car. This and S2000 are the only true sports cars in the segment. Porsche takes the cake.

I really like the BMW....But a porsche is a porsche

[garyyolandadyer]

Best looking sports car is the Z4 e89 54N engine. Best styling and and somewhat rare where I live. Porsche Mercedes etc dime a dozen. The second generation Z4 will be a timeless classic
