Post Off Topic: Reasons why I shouldn't acquire 2000 M Roadster? Anyone?
Please help me out here!
I am at the verge of going by my impulse to acquire a year 2000 M Roadster again! A car which I've sold just May 29, 2000.
I've been known to make wrong car purchases (with the exception of the E39 M5 of course) but still the sun is out and the wind is blowing. The dinky sunroof of the M5 is NOT keeping me happy
The plan is to lease the M Roadster for 24 months and after that to purchase the new style M Roadster (rumours are saying that the new style will come 2003).
Bash me, please.

This is a horrible idea! Just wait for the 2003 M Roadster.

After you lease the '2000 M Roadster, just drop it off at my place so you are not tempted to drive it.

The UK M Roadster already has the 321 bhp M3 evo engine. You guys seem to get short changed all the time. But your gas is cheaper.

I never liked the Z3... But when I drove the M-ster I was floored. Loved it, Loved it, still love it!

I would'nt wait, just lease the current model until the new one is out.

Having said all that, I would'nt sell the beast for the roadster either. having both cars is Nirvana.

Au revoir!

The new roadster will have the engine from the new M3, 343HP, WHOAAAAA, it's very simple; if you don't need space in the back for kids etc, go for the roadster!!
