Si tu crains les cots d'entretient d'un e36, attend de voir ceux d'un GT-R:run:. Perso je fais un peu (je dis bien un peu) de lapping avec mon 328 (la plus petite version que la M3) et les cots sont trs raisonnables. C'est certain que si t'achtes les pices directement au dealer a va tre un coteux. Par contre, les mmes pices, sans stamp BMW et sortis de la mme usine et avec les mmes spcifications, sont disponibles en ligne ou dans les napa/carquest de ce monde pour bien moins cher.
Certes un non-m c'est pas ce qu'il y a de plus performant la base et c'est loin d'un GTR. TOUTES les pices de M3 sont compatibles, dans une certaine mesure Ex: il faut installer les knuckles de M3 pour poser les freins avant du M3. Le chassis est 99% identique, l'exception de plaques de renfort aux encrages du subframe arrire qui sont soudes sur la majorit des M3 apres une certaine date, 94 ou 95 je ne m'en souviens plus. C'est pas mal primordial de les installer sur les non-m qui passent beaucoup de temps sur la piste, ce qui implique de dropper le subframe et, si tu ne veux pas exploser, la tank a gaz.
C'est un très bon résumé! Pour être sur le marché des E36 depuis un certain temps (J'ai deux E36 M3 dont une de lapping) les pièces ne sont pas si cher. Comme dans tous les marques, il suffit d'être patient et de bien magasiner. Pour vous donnez une idée des prix, 4x disques brembo de base avec des pads HP+ av. et arr. = 650$ Radiateur 40-80$ dans le use, . Pourquoi je n'ai pas été vers la S2K, tout simplement car j'ai un faible pour le torque, le prix d'achat est supérieur. Il ne faut pas oublier qu'un toit rigide doit être prévu (1 000 - 1 500), l'espace de rangement (Pneus de course et matériaux), etc.

Une bonne comparaison que j'avais lu sur internet, bonne lecture.
Have owned both an E36 M3 and S2000. Both cars are tremendous at what they do, albeit they do it in different ways. The biggest difference is the amount of money for maintainance and parts. BMWs are notorious for overcharging their owners, but it is a price many consider worth the investment.
Engines
M3 is a high-revving racer, but also has an abundance of torque down low. Take it thru the hills of San Francisco, and you'll really see what I mean. The S2000 doesn't do anything until 3k rpm - but is amazing after 6k. Haven't had any problems with either one. Some have complained about M3s VANOS unit, which is VERY expensize to replace. Water pump was an issue for earlier M3s (plastic impeller). Change oil often in both.
TRANS
Heal-toeing is much easier in an M3, but that could be me. Shifts are longer in an M3, and clutch is much heavier and more succinct, but is a pain in the *** to drive in stop-and-go. S2K has much smoother clutch takeup - almost too smooth. Shifter action in S2K is near perfect.
BRAKES
Both offer great action and little fade.
HANDLING
Here is the biggest difference. M3 weighs close to 4500 lbs with all fluids; S2K weighs in at ~3000. S2000 is a pure drop-top sports car. Very quick with little bodyroll. Can get skittish over uneven pavement, and there is a weird deadspot when driving in a straight line. M3 is way more of a GT, and without any mods leans quite a bit in turns - but it holds. Rear tires break out, but it is so progressive - even at limit of tire adhesion that you never feel out of control. The worst is over doing it, and spinning your car in the front axis. Big deal, 360s are fun right? Seriously though, aside from a broken ego, neither M3 nor S2K lost grip in fronts (like some current Nissans), which gets really dicey. Both cars are very solid, though I would recommend an Xbrace for both.
TIRES
Both will make good use of decent tires. Like the Potenzas on S2K which came stock. Yokohama AVS Sport are perfect for M3.*
* - certain M3s have 15 degree off-center alignment which aids in high-speed maneuveraiity, but kills the inner inch or so on the fronts. Be careful! I had two high-speed blowouts, and it was interesting to say the least.
STEREO
Both suck.
FUN TO DRIVE
S2K is easy to enjoy. The car is so direct, even at low speeds, it is a blast. Summer are great with the top down, pushing it thru twisties. With the top up, you hear everything. The grinding of the trans, the engine howling, the thumping echo of the every single bump in the road - no matter how minor. It takes getting used to, but I think everyone here agrees it is awesome.
M3 is much happier when driven hard. Day to day driving is a bore, and almost complacent. Make this car flex its muscles and only then will it reward you. Softer (relatively speaking), but then again this car scared the s&^t out of me more than a few times.
You have to push both cars to fully realize their potential.
Neither of these cars are meant for the dragstrip, but both will beat a Mustang or Camaro from a stoplight if you really want to. Reliability has proven great for both IF you take care of them and don't abuse them. Both have high resale value.

Je crois que tu ne peux pas avoir plus de détail sur la comparaison d'une S2K vs E36 M3.
PS: Je vais avoir une E36 M3 Supercharge à vendre prochainement si jamais tu cherches du power!
Bonne chance dans tes recherches!
