Who here have moved from a DC2R, DC5R, EP3R to a S2000?

I still miss my S after all these years will eventually go back to one.

Damn, you've proved me wrong. BMW are prepared to sacrifice performance for cheapness after the GFC.

It's not just 'cheapness' though, as that's over-simplifying the issue. It makes more sense for the corporation to share a platform between the Mini and the 1 Series, for many reasons. It's unfortunate, but how many enthusiasts (the only people who care about RWD) buy BMW 1 Series? Nowhere near enough to justify its own platform.

I always would have bought a Mini over a 1 Series anyway, because the latter is ****ing hideous.

Ep3 because a truly clean s2k is hard to find. And even harder to mod.

I'm loving the ep3. So fuel efficient. Just filled up 38L and it got me 380kms

[supersaiyan]

in response to OP's CONs - Cant put seats flat down to have a rest after a long drive?

does ep3r rear seats fold down straight 100%?

and doosra what fuel economy did you get from your s2000?

i'm about 180cm+ alot of people say its not for tall people some people say its fine? does any s2k owners wanna comment on that?

i'm still thinking dc5r/ep3r/s2k, it's so hard to decide !!

I usually get 10L/100km from my S.
And I don't drive it like a grandma if you get what I mean.

That depends on if you have long legs or a long torso. There isn't a lot of leg room so if you have spider legs it may be cramped. There's plenty of headroom with the roof up. I'm 183ish cm and I'm pretty comfortable but long boring drives are annoying.

[doosra]

I used to get only 400kms on a full tank with my s2k and I would mainly cruise so I've noticed the saving in the ep3.

Ep3 seats don't fold straight

[doosra]

Is there a boot release button inside the ep3? I can't find it

No such thing, boot is unlocked when doors unlocked

thinking of getting an s2k, found a blue one, abit cheap for what i reckon it should be with 100ks. Only recently bought a dc5r and i love the drive when im sitting in it but once i park it and walk off, it doesnt look any special to me, so i guess kinda a love hate relo for me with my itr, def want an s2k but without logbooks and service history... very sketchy >.> whereas my itr has all
