From a Civic to an M3? I think we need to work on your definition of a "little more power" A little more power would be an SRT4 or an RSX-S or Mazdaspeed Protege.

get the S2000 much better car. The m3 isnt faster than a s2000 they should be about the same speed.

Well... As most of you know, I love BMWs... BUT, With this decision it really matters on the mileage I think... Would you be getting a new S2000 or one with miles?

If you had a choice between a brand new s2000 and a 99 M3 with 30,000 miles... Id get the S2000.

I prefer the new M3 anyways

whatever man. I already said it was nothing personal - If I was attacking you personally I woulda just flown the BS flag on you. I never said you weren't going to get either car, I just said that most people who post threads like this NEVER DO. Please prove me wrong. I'll be the first in line to say Congrats!

I've owned 6 cars and bought them all myself too. I don't want a metal for it, that's just life.


oh...and btw - you're a youngn' compared to me

what are the maintenance and upkeep costs of an M3? of an S2000? Insurance-wise, what's the difference? Which depreciates the most? A few questions to maybe consider in the selection.

geezz...WHAT A STUPID QUESTION...

=> s2000 <= you can feel the pull

M3 <= gay + the parts are freakin expensive, its heavier

oh yeah...turboed ex is alright too. my ex is turboed and my brother has a stock 03 s2000, he only beat me by less than a car length. so cross the m3 off the list.

How do these people with such atrocious grammar actually land and maintain jobs where they can afford M3s and S2000s? Maybe my priorities are off or something.

^^^that m3 now has over 900hp and is trying to reach 1000hp.

those vids of a e36 m3 racing and beating all those exotic cars that some of you might have seen, is that M3. Thats pretty impressive, the car can do well over 210mph; the driver is known to exceed those speeds atleast once a week.

the car looks stock on the outside, but is a beast in the inside.

I'm surprised none of u mentioned that the S2K is not a good everyday driving car while the M3 is. If you have driven the S2K everyday for a week u wouldn't like it much, u can feel every single pebble on the road. Oh BTW i'd take a BMW over a Honda anyday, it's all about class, but I like the new models more...purrrr

yeah...and they only get around 280 to the wheels (e46 m3, that is). turbo on a e46 m3? hell no. they (companies) haven't even made one for the public yet.
