Yeah, but look at its performance stats... and then imagine the VW owners' threads in the future - they'll all be saying: "Burnt up an S2000 yesterday, piece of cake!" It looks revolting. And it won't rev beyond 352rpm!

I've driven both the 320Cd Convertible and the 330Cd Convertible. The latter was... er... really quite good, actually.
Burnt in the context of covering in black smoke I presume

that 330 engine is actually very good and so is the chassis just a shame I have to drive around with the badge on it!

Oh yeah, it'll all be utter bolloques, but they'll CLAIM they're quicker... like these RenaultSport Clio owners, the cheeky monkeys! The S2000 is the better car in every possible respect. VW! Ha!

Debadging a BMW is a 'no cost option', and as the diesels no longer have downturned tailpipes at the back, you could take the badges off quite safely and pretend you were in a 330Ci... or just buy a 330Ci in the first place!

Oooooooh, I see... it's the BMW badge/body which is the problem! Well, then, just buy a Honda S2000 and forget about BMW drivetrains altogether!
