As you said, the S2000 is not as fast as the old Z4 3.0Si (265bhp engine). If you wring the honda`s neck it won`t be too far behind but the Z4 just has a much better engine for road use (torque 234 at 4000 RPM`s (or less) vs S2000 torque with only 155 at something lke 6700rpm). Sothe Z4 3.0 Si is a LOT faster than the S2000 in daily use due to it`s massively flexible engine and still faster using high rpms also.
Personally I now have a Z4 MLast edited by SuperZ; 30 July 2009, 11:33.Comment

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

The Si isn't the standard Z4 model, to compare apples try the S2000 Type V.Originally posted by DimPrawn View Post
Z4Si v S2000 Type-VScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

It's not a lot faster and not much power from 3 litres, only an extra 27bhp from 1 litre more!Originally posted by SuperZ View Post
The 3 litre is only faster if you don't like changing gear, in such case you'd be better with a diesel.
Compare the 2.2 litre BMW with the HondaLast edited by Bagpuss; 30 July 2009, 11:56.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

So the S2000 is 0.1 sec slower then the Z4 or boxster 2.2 1/2. Does it really matter. Roof down, 2 seats, acceleration. I'm happy with that. S2000 it is then.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostComment

Comparing the old Z4 to the Honda - there is a clear winner if you are looking for a true sports car (the Honda) - if you are looking practicality then sadly its the BM.
Haven't driven the new Z4 (Clarkson raved about it).
New Audit TT is a fun drive (both the 2.0 and Quattro) - actually the 2.0 is a better engine.
Smart money on the MX-5
BMW - Yawn
S2000 - Wa Hoo !
But back to the original 10k question - I would go for the Honda every time.Last edited by weemster; 30 July 2009, 12:05.Comment
