Default Guess it's "Good-Bye" for now.......

Well...my 3 year lease is up on my S2000 and the time I had the car flew by quick.

It will be missed and I know I will end up picking up another one when the time comes for me to get another car.

In the mean time, I ended up finding a pretty clean 1995 E36 M3. Hellrot Red with 51k miles. I've always wanted one and thought now was a good time to pick one up.

Last few pics of the S2000 with the mods:





Picking up the E36 M3, S2000 back to stock in the background, bitter sweet:





It was a fun 3 years

having owned both an S2000 and an e36 m3, you'll miss the S more than you realize.

I don't want to come off as ignorant but "what is so fascinating" about the Bmw? I liked your S 100xxxx better?

Turn in date is this Monday. May 11, 2009. So I've been driving the S2000 back to back with the M3 and the S2000 is more fun and easier to toss around.

The M3 feels more direct and has much more feedback from the steering wheel. Also has a ton more torque

Yea, I don't know what it would take to go from your beautiful GPW to THAT, other than maybe you will save some money now per month? Won't be as noticed much on the road now?


None of the less, hope you are happy, and good luck with everything!
The benefit of the M3 is that there is no car payment.

No regrets yet, but I'm sure when the S2000 is finally turned in, it'll be a different story.

The E36 M3's steering is seriously an interesting one

I guess it's kinda like the S2000's transmission

It's just one of those things that people think about when they hear the car. S2000 is always awesome tranny + 9000rpm (well, for most people). E36 M3's the handling and steering feel ...
