Hey Guys! just picked up the 07 GPW / blk/red AP2!! 41k miles, bone stock, 3rd owner! very excited and cant wait to keep her clean and tasteful!

I'm coming from a Black F80 M3, and Oxford green E46 M3
Still have my 1985 bmw 635CSI.

I've had the AP2 a week and im enjoying the hell out of it!

so far i've grabbed some modifry goodies, some spoon mirrors and some redline interior bits. No performance yet i'm learning the car first!
Already scheduled a visit with Billman and since im a service manager (previous Tech) ill be doing a lot of work and maint myself.

I hope you guys like and im glad to be aboard! ill start the build thread soon.

I would normally use photobucket to upload but not sure what everyone else is using. let me know!

 

Looks super clean! Welcome aboard! I use Photobucket sometimes but the way you did it works just fine too.

 

Thanks Julie! ashamed to say, i've been lurking before joining or grabbing a membership for years glad i did now though!

F80 M3 owner in an S2K, AND HE LIKES IT.

Two totally different animals.

 

hahahaha yes sir! i worked for BMW for years had a great chance in my twenties to own and lease some pretty amazing cars, The F80, i had JB4, flash tune overlapped, downpipes, charge pipes, full M performance titanium exhaust, Intakes, pure turbos, ran 25% e85, car pretty much sized up power wise then anything that you could come across on street or track that i noticed. Problem is while it was sexy to look at, got exceptional mileage (when running 93) and was faster then any car ive owned, it was just too much power to enjoy driving the car. even dulled down and stock launch control was useless, i am not into drag racing, even if i was id need upgraded axles to handle the power on the strip. Coming from that to a not mentioned VW MK5 R32, and then to the S2k, i feel like i enjoy the s2000 the most. Revving it out, the response and road feel, the harsh engine noise even when cruising on the highway. i have read on these forums that the s2k gives the visceral feel of how a sports car should perform and i totally agree. Cars do not need to be blinding fast to be fun, cars dont have to have every option tech wise to feel connected or comfortable. i know that each time i push the start button in the short time ive had mine that i will enjoy the whole driving experience instead of concerning myself with an 90k+ sports car that costs a kidney to repair. I wanted a car that asks for more and takes both the car and you working to achieve all it has. i don't want a pedal masher.

end rant and best description i could give..


now the E46, that was a car i really enjoyed. i had 3 of them and loved each one.
