I had an 02 and sold it after 3 months. It was everything and more--awesomely fast, handsome, understated and...no fun. No kidding--You had to be in triple digits to feel any kind of rush. When I got the SC, that point was at legal speeds. The disconnect from the driving experience is high.
The other odd thing I felt was that it was a sedan and what was I doing shifting? My mind had me convinced it was a sedan, which it is, but I hated the shifting. Odd, but true. My wife thinks BMW drivers are tools, too, which cast that subtle disapproving notion throughout my ownership experience.
Oh yeah--and take chkbook's advice on the clutch and learn how to match revs up and down and launch with minimal slipping. The clutch is the recognized weak point of the drivetrain.
