Not sure why people want to spend 10k more on s2ks than the M roadsters. Hell you can get an s54 m roadster for less than an AP2, and even some AP1s and they are fucking ridiculous to drive.
I know I'm a fanboi and all, but I do love s2ks as well. The market difference on them is not warranted though.

^ I'm going to point out that Z3M Roadster did not age as well as the S2000 did. Also aftermarket support.

However, look at the Z3 M Coupe with the right colour it'll fetch more than an S2000, which in turn I feel that the value is unwarranted.

Because s2k is just an amazingly reliable car with many on people running past 300k miles and still going strong. BMW just depreciates a lot quicker in general.

There are plenty of s52 m3s on bimmerforums with over 250k miles. The roadsters drivetrain is no different. No one is going to drive either the s2k or the m that much though. This is Vancouver, not some town in Virginia. We don't drive enough here that it matters.

maybe the subie people here can comment...

from what little i remember from my subaru days, i think i'm seeing a real GGB wrx sti wagon here, which only existed as a bugeye. but someone has swapped the front end from a ver.8 GDB sedan as well as the entire rear diff assembly, axles, trailing arms and hubs so that this thing can run full brembos front and rear, instead of the standard subaru 4pot front/2pot rears?

overspray on the genome sti muffler is making me cringe... nothing that can't be fixed though.

That's still only like 130 miles on your car though. Still I can't believe anyone who lives here can drive that much. That's like 14 hours in your car considering the average speed of our roads is like 15 due to traffic.

for the old timers like me who remember this thing when it was new... all i can remember was never drop it because it would take a crane to pick it up again. the few that are still around are old and tired so it's nice to see a restored one

For any cafe racer types. This is really worth the money. He's done the very expensive but necessary stuff for an older bike. Rebuilt top end, Dyna 2000($1000), +Keihin CR Race Carbs($1500-) . It'll cost a lot more than $4500 to do yourself.

I didn't know you had one TouringTeg, I hope you have got the butt and strong strut from these guys.....made a huge difference in the rear end stability and the connectivity of the front and rear suspensions.....
