The side controls still work with the Apline headunit. He may have installed that DCI thingy.
I actually cant even find the owners manual. Maybe they forgot to give it to me.
Wheres the secret compartment? Not the one thats in the middle console that flips down?
Thanks for the advice!!

If you open up the glove box, the middle compartment that flips down, towards the top center there is a latch and that rounded trapezoidal shaped piece that has the wind deflector on it will fold up, just don't tell anyone I told you. Its a big inside joke in the S2k world, the infamous secret compartment.

Yes it flips up.
The shift boot is easy, just pinch the leather and pull up

That is a highly desirable color combo, and a fair price. You should be able to find new left over 07's for 27-28k. Keep in mind you can get a new(08) for 31k and change all day long and there were a few changes for 08.

But even with 240whp, I don't think you can smoke M3...BMW has been known for underrating their engines too, besides, 343hp at the crank, with a 10% loss, that would still be over 300 at the wheels, that's way more than enough to offset the weight difference.

I have dynoed my car with AEM V2... 215WHP...
and
E46 M3 does not have 300 at the wheel.. try 270-280.
and IF a s2000 has 240 whp.. it WILL smoke a STOCK E46 M3... but too bad it doesnt.
i know this because i do business with e46 m3 for living

All the above. Will be signing up today for a track day at Autobahn Country Club, its a 3 day event.
I just had to email the Audi Club director to make sure what I need to track the convertible. Most likely need a roll bar.
Autox for sure.
Ken, there were a couple good deals in Texas if you willing to drive out there.

I found an alpine manual for a headunit and amplifier in the car. I think the other owner might have installed after market speakers/amp. Radio sound terrible but when i plug in my Ipod (ipod adapter with HU) the sound is pretty damn clear.
Btw, there is no CD changer. CD changer on the headunit is really the mode for the Ipod. Guess I had classical music on there after all.

You should be able to autocross the s2000 bone stock.
If fact I dont think I really saw one with a roll bar before.

Wow, the Autobahn is a nice track. Myself, cousin, and couple of friends signed up for Time Attack at Gingerman-South haven, MI this coming July.

Congrats on the S2k. Most fun you can have in a car with your pants on
Few things:
- TRACK it
- AutoX it
- Drive the hell outta hit
- Cold weather + Summer tires = Watch the rear end
Have fun!

I am so jealous. I have always wanted that but chances are it won't be happening any time soon, if I do get something it will have to be my only car so a little more practical (MS3?).

Well i think membership is $20k to join and then a yearly fee. But most of the local clubs rent the track out.
Check out http://www.windycitybmw.com/Activities/Activities.aspx and http://www.audichicago.org/upcomingEvents.php
Those are the two i will be tagging along with since i have friends in both. But most everyone is super friendly even if you dont have a euro.
I need to see if a bone stock S2000 is SCCA approved for track use. Otherwise i need to find a roll bar that is SCCA approved.
Autox isnt a problem since its under 50mph. Sorta.
