Porsche Boxster 987 (2nd Generation)

20052012 · 987 · convertible

Second-gen Boxster. 2.7L / 3.4L flat-six (base / S). 987.1 (2005-2008) still uses the M97-family engine with IMS concerns; 987.2 (2009-2012) introduced the all-new MA1 direct-injection engine — no IMS shaft, no bearing concern. The 987.2 Boxster Spyder (2011-2012) is the collector trim.

Watch out: 987.1 cars: IMS bearing concern, RMS leaks, bore scoring possible on heavily-driven examples. 987.2 cars: clean of IMS but worth verifying any direct-injection-related warranty work; injector and HPFP campaigns affected some early DFI Porsches.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
