S2000 with 9000rpm doesn't seem to have lot of problem...

Everythin you said is right! And don´t forget to mention that the qualily made by BMW (all cars) is not as good as the Mercedes one. And I want to adjoin that BMW has more problems with the engine (higher rpm means the engine will **** up faster!) and if you want to re-sale your car the fall in value is on mercedes cars not that high. (very bad english, i kno))
and Honda's quality is always on the top. The problem with M3's engine is bad design but the chasis is great.

Have you been having significant problems with the M3, and thus the reason for your frustration? I haven't really had a chance to use MB's service, no problems to date, but I did make an unscheduled oil change.

No...... no problems with a car........just that the service is the difference between night and day........

The corvette is a fast car - thats right. But If you race with a corvette against the M3 you will lose the reace after passing the first curve (or bend - whats the right word?). You have definitively no chance against the M3 in the curves.
Thats the only big advantage of BMW.
bah...hahahahahahahaha.....obviously you never see a Vette in action. I'm not a great fan of our domestic product, but Vette is one of the best sports car in the word. not to mention the cheap price for the performance. the Zo6 Vette can beat the M3 anywhere anytime.

I was at an autocross with my C32 a couple weeks ago. The couple of Z06s (one in particular) were eating up the course. This was in a light rain which should have minimized their power advantage. I was as quick as most of the M3s (E36 and E46) but no where near the Z06. For pure performance for the money it can't be beat. But for us dads with kids and need four doors, we do a good job keeping close.
The Suburu WRXs were pretty quick too, but then again it was raining.

the Subby WRX CAN be pretty quick around the track when they are nicely tuned and driven properly.
