Just picked up a 2002 S and coulnt be happier.
I also have a E92 M3 but its a Garage queen always babied.
One of my previous cars was a 03 Z4 3.0 the power is similar to the S but the S feels more raw and has more of a race purpose feel if that makes sense, Z4 was sort of numb.
The S will most likely be a DD/Autocross car
