Hey guys I'm a new S2k owner as of today and i couldn't be happier. Today i traded in my 2003 BMW 325CI w/54000 miles for a 2000 S2000 with 65000 miles. So far I'm very pleased with my decision and I'm loving every second in the S2k. Of course, it's a completely different car from the BMW so I'm not going to get into that.

My car didn't come with an owner's manual (the dealership lost it so i'll have to get one later in the week) so i have a few questions for you veteran owners. These questions might seem really basic to you guys but for the life of me, i can't figure this out -- How do i get the clock / time to display? I'm aware this is a no frills car but I'm pretty sure it has a clock (i hope).

Thanks in advance.

I added some pics for your viewing pleasure






The old car

 

my 2000 model didn't have a clock. i didn't think it was important since i always had a phone with me but it ended up bothering the crap out of me.

 

Ahh.. da secret compartment..

 

shhhh!!! its a secret!!!

the car didnt come with a clock till 04. I think the 02-03 might have on on the radio, but i changed mine out so long ago i dont remember....

 

no clock on mine!

 

oh, btw, the gas door release knob is on the interior panel between the drivers seat and door striker. thank me later

 

Thanks for all the replies guys. For a second there, I thought no one was answering me. The BMW forum had automatic email notification when a reply came in -- i just noticed that i have to manually select subscribe. Anyway, thanks for all the answers. I just created another thread, which i need to delete, that had some other questions...

1) what is the bolt/wheel pattern for the S2k wheels - i'm thinking of getting new wheels

2) where is the engine bay release?

Thanks in advance!

 

Another question... if i replace the stock stereo, will the indash controls still work?

 

Yup! See the FAQ links. That thread makes for an awesome read!!!!!

Welcome!

 

Welcome aboard!! Congrats on the new car.

Your hood release is in your drivers foot well, all the way to the left. It is kind of high but quite to the dash (If i remember right).

I think if you get an aftermarket stereo your in dash controls won't work, at least thats what I have been told.
