Well guys, the time has come. I put my s2000 up for sale and bought a 2007 BMW 335i coupe!

Thanks for all your help, and if anybody is looking for a nice conddition low milage 02 Berlina Black s2000 - let me know!!

hah i didnt think i could either. But 95% of the time i drive the s2000 on the freeway, driving to work, going to the supermarket - it really sucks at those things. The 5% where i drive it like it should be driven (weekends and fun roads etc) it is awesome! But the 95% really wins over the 5% for me.

I'm hoping the bmw will bridge the gap between my 5% and 95% driving. Its a fabulous daily driver, gobs of power everywhere, yet still handles and drives awesome.

Here is a link to my s2000 for sale thread - but please lets keep that stuff in the other thread!

Oh and here are some pictures...mine is the same color with the same wheels

Liam, why not get an E46 M3 (slightly used) for the same price? First year production car/motor might end up being a PITA.

I6 TT

i have a feeling it can make some sick power.....

 

My girlfriend just gotta brand new 2007 BMW 328i same color as yours but different wheels. Its a good all around car, I love how it handles. Funny cause i'm in the looks of finding a 03' S2000 right now. Too bad you're in Sun Diego. Enjoy the car bro.

 

I like your choice
Have fun with it

 

I kinda agree with P Nut, I usually don't buy first generation models since they tend to have the most recalls or what not. Thats why I waited 5 years before I got my S2000...I wanted to wait to see how the car turned out after being on the market for awhile. However, your car still looks sick as hell! I wouldn't mind driving one everyday.

 

Nice move, but I couldn't sell mine. I'd wait til I could afford that thing along with my S.

 

Great choice on the BMW. Just wondering, how much did it cost all together? Meaning out the door.

 

Thanks guys - and yes i wish i could keep the s2000...i have been playing with selling the civic and trying to buy an older higher milage S2000 to replace that. Then i think i would have the best of both worlds.

Well i liked the idea of a "new" car. I got to pick the color and all the options and make it exactly what i wanted. The Sedan (E90) has been out for a year now which is almost the same as the coupe so im not to worried about it being a first generation car. And even if it does break bmw has an excellent warranty - they will even replace wear items like clutchs and brake pads - and they will give me a loaner car to drive around.

Also, while the m3 might be faster, it doesnt have the 335's torque, smoothness, quiet and super refined ride.

Around $43k with all my options, paint, trim, etc

BMW's do have a good warranty service. Still, I'd hate to have it sitting in the shop. Also, you can find an E46 M3 with X,XXX miles that still has a huge chunk of warranty left.

While the 335's specs are very good and could be compared to the M3, but...well....it's still not an M. For me, it's like choosing between a DC2R and an RSX-S. The RSX's numbers are better, but....it's not an R. There is something to be said about how a car is put together. You can tell by driving cars like the ITR, M-series, etc. that much more R&D have been put into making sure every component of the car works and flows together.

BUT, since you said that this car will be your DD 95% of the time, you probably made a better choice. I'm sure the E90 has more amenities than the M3. Have fun spoolin.

Thanks! Yeah actually id take the RSX-S over a DC2R - but again im not looking for the racer type...more of a DD!

Thanks for the comments - from everybody!

Its likely that it was easier to get financing or a lease on a new BMW vs. a used M3. I doubt he's paying $40k cash for that E92.

grab your credit card and buy these too:

nice liam!

glad to see you finally decided to sell it. i maybe doing the same when/if i get my S back or if it's totalled. i love my S but the majority of my driving i need something more comfortable. the S just isn't.

 

Holy crap, I love it man. This car with some light motor mods ie:chip and exhaust, and some suspension mods would be an absolute blast to drive. I wish I had that kind of money to spend b/c that's a great car.

 

^^^ hey what's up 1080

and that 335 is sexy as hell, especially in blue. I love it!
