And in doing so, I call on you So-Cal S2k owners.

I would like to see and feel-out a few S2ks before I buy. Test driving one at the dealership is not as effective as seeing various S2ks and feeling how they drive with different degrees of modification.

I am not asking to drive any of your cars, but I would love to go for a ride at some upcoming meet.

In exchange, both for your pleasure and mine, I'll bring my dSLR gear to take some nice shots of the car (or as best I can).

I am currently an E36 M3 owner and have owned 5 bimmers over the past few years. I want something impractical now, and the S2k has always been attractive to me, so this would help me decide if I want to dump the M3 for one or not.

btw, if you want to see some sample pictures so that you know I'm not just a douche, let me know.

 

nice name

 

i have an 02 suzuka blue you can trade with me for my s2k. it has 22k miles on it and a new spoon n1 exhaust....so trade ya? i'm located in pasadena.

 

you have an 02 suzuka blue I can trade for your S2k?

lol, you know nothing about my M3 yet...

here it is btw

 

^^ hey its barney's car

i love you, you love me, blah blah blah

 

on the quick photos

on the E36 M3

I'm not sure I'd give up that M3 for an S2k...tough call there.

 

lol, yeah it's technically "Techno Violet"

 

okay maybe i'll keep my suzuka...im not gay...yet..


ANYWAYS id keep that if it was an e46. heres a meet thats comin up next week that is in covina. http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...00573

check out http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showforum=16

^^^^ thats all the local s2k stuff going on.

 

gay? I'm surprised you got a convertible. Sounds like some one is pretty insecure

 

huh wtf im confused. pshh i got a convertible to pick up all tha fly ladies yo... seems to be working so far

 

i guess that was sorta harsh. My Gf doesn't think I'm gay though. lol, the color was the only color I was going for in an e36 m3. It's very rare and imo extremely nice in person.

not trying to sell you the car though...

the covina meet sounds nice but i'll be in Vegas w00t

 

if it makes you feel any better to give you an idea i just traded in my 2005 330Ci ZHP in for my 2006 S2K... no regrets whatsoever. and my car was pretty well modified. if you would like to come check out my car, feel free to email me. it's completely stock right now but i have a shitload of parts on order.

i can take harshness all day. im sure it looks good in person.

most people think the suzuka color is gay...but hey i have a gf too.

the thursday after next there is another meet in pasadena at pete's coffee.

 

I'll try to be at that meet at Pete's Coffee. It's alright to bring my M3 I'm guessing?

Also, yeah Jonathan I shot you an email

 

yeah please do. last week there were a pair of supras that crashed it and hung out for a bit with us. one of them was putting down over 800hp...

^^^ hrmm mmaybe if you said the E46 then MAYBE you could have a valid point. I still wouldnt personally but ehhh....

 

Nice ///M...very rare color.

I had a '95 E36M3 for about 5 years before moving to the S2k. Was a rough transition...the M3 had such good torque and forgiving handling. Having both in the garage would have been ideal.

While I'd never dream of trading the S2k for an M3 now...there are times I sure miss the ///M.

 

Thats the only thing I feel like I might regret... trading the torque. But I have a Nissan Sentra as my daily. This car will only come out on the weekends and track events, so I feel like when I do drive it, I'll have fun driving it.

I'm not one to drive fast around town, I've had my fair share of stupid crazy driving around town, and I don't do it anymore, so I am not worried about a lack of torque to zip around town in...

but still, there is that feeling that I might some how miss the torque.

 

One of my main concerns is the lease and waranty restrictions.

I tracked my M3 and I definitely want to track the S2k. I want to know if modifying the suspension will void the waranty or lease in any way.

I'm not much a straight-line performance type of guy, so I don't care to modify the motor. I also do all the work on my car myself, so I don't care if i lose out on oil changes and stuff like that.

Any information on this? It would be my first new car so I have no idea what to expect.

 

Hm...... If you are willing to take some pics of my car late July Ill give you a ride and upon meeting you MAYBE even let you drive.....

See my bio for mods. (Not all here which is why I need to wait till late July)

 

Don't bother answering his warranty question. I answered that for him last night, but apparently, he didn't believe me when I told him that by law they can't void your warranty unless they can prove the aftermarket part caused the problem.

 

i say you drive one without mods, and if it impresses you, get it.
