I get that Andy in regards to the 5 dials vs. 3., This has always been the case. But aside from that, the parts are 100/% plug and play. Doors, console, centre stack (bar the vent treatment) and more importantly, the fit and finished, when looking at those gens.

Porsche does a good job of keeping certain things for the 911 and only when a new version comes out does the Boxster get something from the previous gen.
