So -- I made a decision and traded my S2000 for a ....
I just wanted to thank everyone for their input on what I should do with my S2000. After a few sleepless nights I decdied to trade my S2000 for an M3 Convertible.
While I think the styling of the S2000 is more distincitive, I think the M3 will prove to be a better overall car for my needs.
I've enjoyed hanging out at this board... and probably later in life (when I can afford a "collection" of cars) I'll purchase another S2000 (S2200) or whatever they end up being.

Hard to fault that decision if we're talking about an E46. If I could afford it, I would probably do the same. Having a back seat would be a major bonus with a dog.

It's a 2001 M3 Convertible with only 6,000 miles. It's got the Harmon kardon, Xenon package, cold weather package ect. For $44,000 I couldn't go wrong.
The ride is simply fantastic... and the torque is fun to have around too.
I will miss the "roadster" feel of my S2000 --- but since I have dogs I like having a back seat for them.

Just drove a new M3 convertible and was a little disappointed in the amount of chassis flex not to mention the rear belts flapping against the seats at speed. I was expecting so much more!
I guess this is what happens when you already own one of the best convertibles on the planet.

I agree that a M3 is not as rigid as an S2000 --- just as an S2000 is not as comfortale or as fast as an M3.
I beleive both cars to be very different.. and I enjoy the extremes of what each offers.
Again.. if I could have afforded to keep my S2000 and get an M3 I would have done it in a heartbeat.
Instead... I get rid of one car I love for another I love.
