My babies!

Here are they.
I'm still in break in period so I can't compare too much on performance of these cars, but I must say I still like S2k's character as a sports car better, nimble/screaming engine/etc.
However overall quality of the car is far superior in z4, and that is why I tried BMW this time to see what I can get for the money.
Enjoy!

Haha, indeed yes.
But if it wasn't z4, I would have gone with white and red. Z4 looked way too girly with white and red on a roady.

If you enjoy the open sky, drive your Z, if you use the top in the S, it will begin to tear holes in the rear, top corners of the top. BMW tops FTW, Honda designed their top to sit on two metal studs that CUT into the top. Just be careful cause Honda dosent sell just the top fabric, they sell it as one piece. And I know this cause a few friends of mine have S2k's and all three of them have the same top problem.

I've been driving my S for 3 years now, and yes I just had my top replaced under warranty because it developed a 4" hole on it.
Yup. Z top is the shit.

lol, yup. I pick on all the S owners cause I dont have to worry about that problem. Was your Honda dealer willing to fix it under warranty? My friend tried to have his fixed under warranty and they wouldnt do it. You probably know of him if you are on the S2ki forum too, he is Honda_S2k_racing on that forum.

My dealer gave me such a hard time for the replacement and I ended up going to S2ki forum member's dealer to get it replaced and it was done within a day. Honda dealers suck. I mean...all the stealership sucks
My Z is already having a lot of problems and I'm bit afraid of this car now.

You should do it. I have a turbo version but I prefer supercharger version more. Which is pre MY06 I believe, maybe pre MY05. Good luck.

FWIW, the 06 MINI S is supercharged. The 07 coupe's only were turbo as the 07 Cabrio's were still old body and still supercharged as well.
