Default Thinking of swapping the s2000 for a bmw

My mate wants my s2000 and has offered his bmw 330ci clubsport up for swaps, 2003, 60k, 2 owners. My s2k is 2001, 113k.

Any thoughts?

2001 and 113k ... i'd take his arm off and let him run the 100K+ gauntlet and then you can flog the BMW and get another S2000.

What's wrong with the BMW?

Is yours worth more than 5.5k? Autotrader / Pistonheads suggest that BMW should go for an easy 5.5 to 6k

It's a hard one, my s2000 was £5000 on Jan 2012 and iv spent nearly 2k on it with coilovers, bushes, bolts, alignment, k&n, splitter, spoiler, service ect.

The BMW is tiptronic. I won't buy another s2000 after this one with all the seized bush problems lol

Tbh if you want shot of the S2000 then just sell yours and buy something you want - the only reason i'd swap for the BMW would be if i thought i could punt that on faster / for more money.

Big busses like. i had a m-sport 330. Was amazing on motorways just super quiet and solid but 330 is pretty heavy on the gogo juice. the 330d is way better but there pricy. Very comfortable and look great Sound Cracking with a system, but would i have it over a s2000 no chance
