Boxer engines have 2 main advantages:
1. They are naturally balanced, so they don't need artificial balancing gear which saps HP.
2. They are low profile so they offer a lower center of gravity vs a V or inline engine. Unless you lay the inline on its side like some BMWs. It seems a boxer engine would allow a lower hoodline in a small car design, although safety regulations make that style more difficult.
