That's much better pill to swallow than $65k for the m40i. A well equipped 30i will still be 60k.

You can always count on Jalopnik to spread fake news. Their headline still says that the Z4 starts at $65K.
Easily the worst automotive site. Their "writers" have the writing skills and professionalism of a high schooler. |

If BMW is smart about it they will only allocate 2 or 3 of these to each store because these will be collecting dust just like the old Z4.
The Z4 does 10x better on the CPO market. At one point bmw had to give the previous gen car a 70%+ residual for us to be able to sell them. These cars were sitting here for 200-300+ days.

And that's assuming you can option rwd on it I'm assuming you can't which makes it far from a roaster imo. Just a less practical, more expensive M440i. |

Also, for me, I know the 718 might handle better but that car is running a 350hp turbo 4 that has been criticized to no end for having no soul. I'll take the boosted six in the Z4 10/10 times.

Aside from a slightly more luxurious interior, MSRP (and better lease offers), and 6-cyl I can't think of many advantages the Z4 offers. Hopefully that will be enough. |

The people looking at the Z4 are different from the M2C. They are going to want a vert - that's the selling point. The M2 at least offers some modicum of practicality.

I wouldn't say the Toyota 86 (previously Scion FRS) fit the bill. It is priced right with the Pony cars but offers none of the power that those cars offer. |

I've tried to talk myself into buying one a few times, but it's just a bad car. I suspect Toyota will find a way to both remove the fun from the Z4 (what little there may be) and have a serious sales flop. Killing the backseat was also stupid. |

Lap times for the Z4M40i are comparable to the M2C apparently. Not that potential customers would be considering one or the other.

They clearly priced both models to undercut the 718 Boxster. $59k for the base Boxster, $71k for the S and $81k for the GTS. I think it may be a tough choice for some. I think I'm glad we got our base Boxster since the performance is pretty amazing for a little 2.0L turbo. But for me it would be either the Base Boxster or the GTS. I think if you can get a very good deal on an S, it might be worthwhile.
I think the logic would be that you could get a well-optioned 30i for a base Boxster and a somewhat optioned M40i (which is an awesome engine) for the same money as a Boxster S. I would prefer the I6 over the 2.5L 4 cylinder, so would pick the BMW in that scenario, but would have a tougher time choosing between the base Boxster and the 30i just because I know I get a faster, lightweight and mid-engined car that would be great out of the box. Plus for the purists you can get manual transmissions in the Boxsters. I think even though the BMW 8 speed gets good reviews, I would still prefer the PDK.....choices choices. |

I definitely think it depends on what you’re looking for. A nice performing, luxurious roadster or a more performance oriented , fewer frills vehicle.
What’s nice about the Boxster is that it kind of reminds me of my 135is. Both are comfortable and have nice conveniences, but are more back to basics in a sense allowing you to focus on the fun of driving. |

On a different note, supposedly the U.S. 6 cylinder Supra will start at around $55k. |

Anyway I m glad BMW has raised their prices so much across their new models, it should help with resale of the now used cars. As for me, I am carefully looking at the next m4 as my last ditch to switch car brands....
