a turbo kit for the s2k runs roughly around 5k, with around 400ish
i own 99 e36 m3 as a daily and 05 ap2 s2k as my weekend car. m3 is really easy to drive and very comfy cuz of all the spaces you need but not too big. i think off the line m3 will be alot quicker cuz of torque. and it's got decent top end power also. i just happened to race new 335i (twin turbo inline-6) 4dr auto and i was suprised my m3 actually stayed even. the other driver probably dont know how to drive and it was an auto. we werent able to go very fast but i was redlining 2nd and 3rd gear and immedately shut down cuz of curves and he almost bit it due to pushing it too hard to beat me.
as a daily i love e36 m3. it's very fun and easy to drive. s2k is for weekend i dun think i can drive it as a daily car.
It's not hard to drive a e9x 335i at all.
My brother has a e93 335i with the 7sp. If you can catch the driver out it's on. If they are up for it, your getting stomped.

Sure, you can make lots of power w/ a 335, but it's still not going to be near as fun as an S2000 IMO. In fact, my S is more fun than my M3 IMO, despite the M3's power advantage.
Your 3rd S2000?

Since getting it, I've upgraded the stereo, plus a square wheel/tire setup w/ AP2 V3 rears all around, Berk HFC, Science of Speed hood dampers, tint, Clearshield, and clear side markers. Taking it to the track in about 10 minutes.
