I've got a 2003 BMW 330i w/ Performance Package (ZHP). I test drove an S2000 the other day, and I loved it. The ZHP is such a sweet ride, though. Would I be crazy to trade it for an S2000?

Anybody have a lot of experience driving both cars?

 

Asked of this crowd? No, you wouldn't be crazy to trade it for an S2k.

Asked of a Bimmer crowd... probably

 

Yes.

 

Which handles better?

Base your decision on that

 

Which looks like sex on wheels ?

 

What do you want, torque or a convertible?

 

Here are the pluses and minuses I'm thinking about:

Pro for S2000: new car, new warranty, convertible, unique look, unique driving experience... definite wow factor

Pro for ZHP: a very desirable car that will be paid for in 2 years, much better daily driver

Con for the S2000: car payment for 3 additional years, maybe not the best daily driver / only car (however, I am single)

Con for ZHP: used car, I want someting new, out of warranty in approximately 3000 miles

 

it might not be the best daily driver but i been driving that thing everyday since i brough it.

i have a second car but the S is so addictive..needless to say the beater been sitting for a while

 

get the new e92!

 

I can't afford it (new E92). Another factor is that my next car is going to need to be in the 30K range based on my current financial situation. No other 30K car offers the distinction and the wow factor that the S2000 does.
