S200

Have to agree with you on the S3 - it's flat torque curve is unlike a normal turbo, but it still gives you that turbo "shove" you can't get in a normally aspirated or even it seems a supercharged engine. Modification is the way to erase this issue with the S. Fit a 14lb pulley and related ECU mods and I am sure this engine would sing a different tune...

As for the M3 - decided that a Manual is the way to go - Carbon Black with Natural Leather. If you have any advice on importers please give me a shout as I am of the firm opinion that this is the best way to go.
