Default new ride

i know this might not be hte best place to ask but i spent alot of my recent time on this forum so i figured maybe some of you guys/girls might have some good suggesstions and or comments. i recently totalled the S so im looking for something to replace it. Here are my current options


used 2000+ bmw x5

used 2001+ e46 m3


what im really looking for is if anyone has any known info on these cars? such as pro's and con's on them.... and or if you have any other good cars to recommend please do so and ill take a look into it. Thanks again for all your help.

If I were in the market for a new ride I would go for the gusto and get a new 2006 C6 ZO6...
Its the fastest stock car on the road below $100K...
With 505 BHP V8 and Aluminum/Titanium suspension... its a street legal race car...

With all the options it retails for approx $68K... Check it out...

If you get a Beemer you will miss your S2K...

Even if you get a C6 ZO6 you will miss your S2K... That's just my thoughts...

thats what happened to one of my other friends. he traded in his s2k since he was done with the lease. bought a bmw and already sold it to get another s2k. and he only had the beemer for about 2 months.

i like bmws so my vote is the e46 m3

e46 m3 out of your choices. but i think you should get a laguna blue s2000! have you seen the ones in the gallery section? theyre sweeeeet.

everyone is right though, you're gonna miss the S. trust me, couple months ago i was gonna get rid of the S and get an evo9MR. but after driving around the shops evo at gruppe-s, i changed my mind. that car may be more powerful, but how much power can you actually put down on the streets. the S is so much fun to drive.

but if you get another car, get the e46 and add VTEC! =D
