If you keep the M3, then get the 01 s2k. Otherwise, 140k mileage is alot if its your only car.

I'm actually looking to purchase an e46 M3 as a daily driver so the s2000 does not keep racking up the mileage.

Keep the M3.

The Torque in a stock s2000 is just too low to enjoy after being spoiled by the S54.

Even super charged is just not enough....

Now if you go the turbo route with the S you'll be much happier.

I'd go with the 01 if your gonna boost it. Might as well keep the extra funds from buying used for an engine rebuild fund. I'm thinking of going to this route.

I'd buy the S, sell the hardtop for $2k. Now you have a $7k s2000
