See above your post..
 
Did you do anything to check for bore scoring before you bought it?

IMS gets all the attention but Hartech are now doing far more work to rectify bore scoring than IMS plus it's more involved and costly.
 
I wouldn't think there would be more kudos with a Boxster than a ZM with fellow car geeks like us (although I agree it's a better car in 9/10 ways). Car people love my MC, it constantly gets looks, attention and intriguing questions that belies it's 10-year-old BMW number plate..."never seen one of those before" is the typical starter....

Sadly I never experienced that kudos in my Z and as you say you need to be a car geek to know what the Z4M is all about.

I looked for the tell tale signs of bore scoring but feel reasonably confident with this car as its a MK2. Only 5% suffered bore scoring on the MK1's as well, so id take the concern with a pinch of salt. If you google any illness you will see threads n threads on the topic, but how many people suffer the disease...same as bore scoring Imo. Obviously its an issue if you have the problem..
 
A little comparison after owning the Boxster for a few weeks.

Z4M = A thai hooker, not always the best looking but will do all the bad stuff and leave you with a big grin..
Boxster = A Swedish hooker, looks stunning and leaves a pleasing smile on the face but doesn't do the dirty stuff..
 
I really don't see the 987 as a good looking car, it's overhangs look weird, especially now the 981 is common place. Personally I don't see that car aging well... :fuelfire:

Interesting comparison OP!

Back to a Z4M must be tempting. :lol:
