Default Sell ZHP, Buy S2000?

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

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

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.
