It is plenty fast though and pulls hard to redline, but not nearly as brutal as the s55 engine.
I too am thinking about a 718s in Boxster form.

Now that I am well, middle aged, I rarely need the extra seats in the back of my M4 convertible, as the kids don't want to come with me. It's only a weekend car anyway.

Financially it makes no sense, as my M4 only has 9k miles on it and is in great shape. Here in Australia, a new 718s is double the price of what my M4 is currently worth.

I can't decide if i should keep the M4 and maybe do some mods, or just build a new 718s.
