Default finally got an s2000

I used to be totally biased to european cars, and thought very little overall about cars that wernt from europe. That is untill a friend of mine made me go to a dealership and drive one. Totally changed my mind. That was about 2 years ago. I decided for an 2002 bmw m coupe over the s2k. The car was sold about 10months ago (only had it for like 9 months, accident due to a ladys stupid driving while i was at a stoplight) anyways i finally decided on an s2k. its a 2002 black on black 13000 miles. My first mod will be the cobra suzuka seats, which will be picked up tomorrow. Not sure where to go next but id like to get the wheels/tires (problem is i cant decide!) and coil-overs ordered this week. My favorite wheel is probally the se-37k volks, but they are kinda pricy. Might go with something else. Im holding off on exhaust for a while because i want to be sure i have the sound i want from the car,i dont want any rice sound at all, and i dont want it to be really loud. i would like to order a few small things asap. Im thinking the x brace from Ricks,and probally ingen intake (the reviews on this forum have alot of good to say about them). anyways just saying hello, i was one of those guys who floated around on this forum for a while, and finally i belong.

Congrats on the new ride. If you would, I'd be very interested in a comparison between the M Coupe and the S2000. The MY02 M Coupe's have the 3.2l VANOS from the E46 correct?
