S2k is all about the handling and function.

Z3M is all about the bhp numbers and looks.

If you want an excellent drivers car, I would choose the S2k.

If you like to talk bhp down the pub, go fast and look good, get the BM. So it sounds like the BM is what you are after !

Between the Z3 M Coupe and roadster there's no question; has to be the coupe. To people who know very little about cars, a Z3 M roadster just looks like a normal Z3. The Coupe however just looks mad, and I like them a lot.

Probably not the greatest handling BMW ever made, and the pre-2001 cars lack traction control which makes them a bit scary apparently. One review I've read said it was like a more reliable TVR! And obviously its in a different league in terms of performance against the S2000.

lol i know what you mean, they are wicked & they dont look dated at all but i have one MAJOR issues with them:

anyone fancy driving a car made of lego! i mean how s**t is that display! how unrewarding would it be to hit 9000rpm, wow look at the pretty yellow lights....this alone is enough to put me right off, someone show me some dials and i will be back on track

vs that:

plus the z3 to me has major potential & the engine will sounds & goes in a different league!

and its not exactly ugly:

i really am heading that way im afraid lol, its 80-20 to the ///MZ over the R32...and the dash to me brings the s2000 into a lowly 3rd

I like both the s2k and the Z3.

My only problem with the Z3 is that I'm a Family Guy fan and when Peter Griffin is try to compensate for things he doesn't have (When he sees Chris starkers) he gets a sports car and to me it looks like the Z3. And because of that Family Guy ruined the Z3 drop top for me. I have always loved the coupe though.

Never realised the S2k had such a disappointing clock though. That'd irritate me :cry:

So all in all both cares i like quite a lot I've come to dislike in this post :(.

I feel you can't really compare an R32 to having a Z3 or a S2k. They're different kind of cars.

I say S2K as long as you never look at the clocks
Z3 for everything else other than the long front end that reminds me of something in a cartoon. :?

I know the episode you mean Si, and I thin I'd agree :lol:

I've always liked the S2K's, the dash is a bit shocking though! S2K with Z3 interior anyone?
