Default S2000 as daily driver 100 miles per day?

I am considering getting rid of my BMW 330ci for a s2000 as a daily driver. I will be putting a lot of miles on the car but feel that the s2k will handle them better than the 330. Any word of wisdom or advice from other owners that have come from BMW or other more torquey makes? Also, can I expect Honda reliability in the S2K because I'm not thrilled with BMW's? Thanks.

Reliability? Shouldn't be a problem, it's a Honda, get a post 2002.5 and most of the well known issues are worked out.

There are many owners that drive their cars daily (myself included) and enjoy every absolute minute behind the wheel, but be aware it's a different animal than the 330, you will be loosing a lot of room and the car is not nearly as isolated from road/engine noises as a BMW.

I haven't owned a 330 but have driven one quite a bit, Love the car and if I HAD to get another car that probably would be it.

Nsx's, S200's or even Preludes .. are easy to understand, and very very reliable ....
Go for it!

Honda motors are probably the best out there. I know many people with 100,000+ miles on there motors and they are still running strong some with close to 200k yikes!
