I still haven't driven an S2000 but can imagine exactly what it'll be like, I think it might be the way to go if the right one popped up, it's funny though, as you say "it's not a BMW", I love all cars but there's just something about BMWs... I'd love an e46 M3 but I'm looking to downsize while still having a fun car, wouldn't mind a big engined car if the overall price of the car is cheaper. I think a 330ci manual with a 330ci auto diff and an exhaust could be an option too, but don't really fancy experimenting. Maybe @[JohnH] can put me out of my misery and sell me "Tony"
Not a hope! It's actually owned by my wife and there's a bigger chance of me being sold first!

Just to pick up your point about a 330i, my e46 was a brilliant car and I regret selling it. My only real reason was I'd had it for almost 4 years and fancied a change. I came close to buying it back but you can never go back.

Now I think of it I would like to have a spin in a 130i
