That's interesting for sure. It's hard to argue with your 1st hand experience. I admit I did not drive the Boxster on twisting roads with elevation changes like you are describing, but what you are saying makes sense considering the mid-engine Porsche's claim to fame is its balance and cornering abilities. Perhaps you found the perfect road to exploit its capabilities. As for sound, I have not driven a M235i, so can't really comment on that from the driver's perspective, but I will say my M240i sounds sublime inside or outside, with or without ASD being active. I'd take it all day over the Boxster. I have a feeling the Boxster S 6-speed would have been a totally different story though. My Carrera S 6-speed sounded AMAZING.
