if it's of any consequence, I just finished my first year of college with a 93 del sol... now, it's not the same as an S2000, but it's a small, two seater roadster... and to be honest, I can't think of any reason I wouldn't want it... it's just so much better to have a car you love, and that is fun to drive, and a wonderful stress release when you take it for a spin
by the way, I go to UCBerkeley

It was either used or your friend bought a 325ci and somebody told him it was a 330ci. No way in hell that he got a 330ci fully loaded for that price. Show me the sales slip or give me the name of the dealer. I am still looking for a 330 convertible. No BMW dealer is willing to lose money on a car unless he likes to not feed himself and his family.

Z3 3.0:
1) Higher price tag, less performance in some way.
2) Plastic rear window
3) 6 yr old design
4) Plastic rear window

A stick 330 would be a lot closer considering they run 5.8 to 60 and the 1/4 in 14.1 a lot of S2000 drivers don't have the balls to drop the clutch from the correct rpms so they usually lose.
