And I don't know where you were looking Peter, but I got the 2001 for WAY under $30k. 31k miles on it.

You got a M Roadster, not the M coupe that I was looking for. Here is the cheapest one I found ($36,900) doing a search on autotrader. It only found 6 M Coupes in the whole US for sale...

I was only looking at M coupes, not convertibles, thats why I couldnt find one under 30k. The coupe was the stiffest car BMW ever made and is also pretty rare, and I love how it looks. In a few years ill trade the M3 for one

Damn dude! Nice ride!

Looks nice. Should be a fun little summer cruiser.

Nice ride Jet.
Wow, many "senior members" are moving away from DSM's competely. It seems the majority of "us" just have dsm parts now.
Well there is still Hill, lol.

Nice ride Jet. Thank god you picked the '01, and not any older.. first year with the higher HP motor. The older one with 245 just doesn't cut it. BTW, when did you get it? Your didn't happen to run a certain yellow S2K this last weekend did you?

Yes, I forgot about you as well, my appologies.

WoW, that looks like one agile/sporty ride man!

Congrats Jet!

<Damm, Looks like Everyone is buying a car up here lately? Tired of our DSM's being broke all the time or?>

[Matt D.]

That is totally a winter car.

Looks good to me! With 315 hp I bet that little thing really moves, especially with Beemer torque. How much does it weigh?

[JET]

It isn't real light, it is about 3,100 lbs. It does have a 50/50 weight distribution though. It can get pretty tail happy with the stability and traction control turned off.

The power never falls off throughout the RPM band, it just keeps steadily climbing. It doesn't have the hit of a turbo though. It wasn't as much fun at first, but now I am getting used to it.

yea, and mo's car is one of the VERY few I know in mint condition..no dents, scratches..hell the hatch struts work, the door panels are actually held onto the car, the trim and moldings are not falling off..i'd like to see it driving sometime soon...

I've been daily driving it for two months now.

[JET]

Thanks everyone!

I still have my DSM, so it is not like I am bailing on them (4 actually!).

Mo- That is why I got the 2001, I wanted the 315hp. Only made in 2001 and 2002. I just got it so that wasn't me racing, we picked it up last night.

[98gstaherns]

Those things are sweet! I seen one before at work and I saw the "M" on it and didn't know what the hell it was! That is one kick ass ride!

[Swifty1638]

i thought you didn't have a tranny, and didn't wanna fuck around with the busted one you had mo? I guess you found one..why didn't we see it on uni the other night?
