A *manual* 2021 Boxster S with 9100 miles when I first got in it. Right off the bat I was unimpressed as it was quite and appeared to have a watered down luxury car ride, but I have just spent nearly the past hour or so driving various East Tennessee curvy ass, two lane roads and while I personally would not purchase one with the four-cylinder… but when I got back home I got fairly impressed, especially when it is put into sport mode with sport exhaust on.
Edit: It is nearly impossible to get a loaner car from our local BMW Center so that alone tends to make most owners want to jump ship for another manufacture. I used to get one from the dealer in Chattanooga (Sonic Automotive dealer) but was forced to wait last May. Get on that my 911 is 13 years old and I didn’t purchase it from them, I am delighted I was given a loaner. I am beginning to think that when the BMW extended warranty expires on the X5 I should move over to a facelift Cayenne Coupe.

Score!
Our Penske-owned BMW dealers still offer loaners (when reserved in advance). But our closer one does not, unless the service is X number of hours.
