BMW M2 or Porsche 718

[dvst8]

So, what make the Cayman "not a real Porsche" ?

:roflol:

Strange thing is, that its made by Porsche :thinking:

Designed by Porsche, built by Porsche, marketed and sold by Porsche, serviced and maintained by Porsche, cant be a real Porsche !

:hammerhead:

:roflol:

I would take the m2 just seems to be more hype around the M2. I would prefer a 3l motor if I am going to fork out 870k on a car

Im still questioning the R300k premium over the m235i.

I've driven the previous generation Boxster/Cayman S, and it's not significantly far away from a 911 when compared to the mk1 boxster/cayman. Those were cr@p.
I'd always take a mid engine Porsche over a put-together little M.

I have seen and heard a LBB M2, I have not seen the said porche, and I don't care to after seeing and hearing the M2 :rollsmile::rollsmile:

M2 for me.

I hear you, I am in the same boat as well

If you could get your name on the list and actually pay sub-900k for the M2, then it makes a compelling argument.

With things as they are though *foche*cough* its really difficult to justify that premium as others have mentioned.

Apples for apples, i'd go with the not-a-real-but-sold-by-porsche Porsche

Porsche ftw!

Can I tell you what is happening here... You know how VW likes to claim wheel Kw on their Turbo cars instead of fly kw... I bet you that porsche puts down 257wkw. That thing flies!

If I had +- R780k to spend on a car, it would be this:

I'd choose this every damn time!

Most times, those looking for an M2 or Boxster wouldn't be looking at an M5.

That Boxster is a beaut of a car. Definitely gets my vote.

i am not sure how you can compare a 4 seater coupe to a 2 seater convertible, unless you doing a trump car style comparison with hp, 0-100km/h stats etc.

suppose it all comes down to what you after, talks to the soul and puts a grin on your face.

If it was my every day drive id take the M2.
If it was my weekend drive where id take the car to a pass outside the city, and enjoy the precision and balance of the car then id take the Porsche.
Don't get me wrong, not saying the M2 wont have that, but i just see the Porsche as more of a polished,refined, precise driving tool.

Either or, cant wait to see either in action raise:

Hahaha, I meant in no way to offend anyone. It's an old, standing joke re the Boxter.

If given the choice I would take the M2 purely because it offers more bang for buck. The options list on Porche's are incredibly long and steeply priced. I would also think that the M2 is more of a driver's car while the Boxter offers a decent entry point into the world of Porche, offering a car that's sporty but also easy enough to live with as a daily drive.

That being said there are some compelling other options in that price range that I would consider above either the Beemer or the Porkie.

I think if you want to talk bang for buck, we need to look at the M235 instead.

:withStu: I find it hard to understand the huge extra cost on the M2.

Yeah. Its been the sentiment amongst alot of guys. The purest will however insist that nothing beats owning a true ///M car.

Help me understand your thinking?

Porsche's hold their value exceptionally well as well, and over the longer term you would probably lose very very little.

Howcome you think the M2 is more of a drivers car than the Boxster?

I find myself lusting after the M2 moreso than the 718 Boxster/Cayman. I'm not completely sold on Porsche's move to 4cyl boxer motors just yet.
