Both of these are 03's.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. The S has the extra 30 hp, the turbos of the GT and better intercoolers. ECU is set up different. You can always get that in aftermarket tuning. PCCB and 6-pot front brakes also on the S. PCCB is excellent but expensive to maintain/replace. You can always do brake up-grades, too. In general, all P-car brakes are super.
imho, if you're going to use this car on the track, you're going to be doing modifications anyway. In that case look for a strong motor and chassis. A ppi (with a leakdown, etc.) usually runs around $350 from a specialist (it's really mandatory on a purchase like this; these cars are expensive to fix.)
fwiw, I'll offer info the best I can but I'm certainly not an expert by a long shot. These cars have a lot of history and are complex. Only the factory seems to have the absolute correct info (and not even them sometimes
)
I've owned a Carrera in some form or another since 1985. So that's my only background. But these cars will pull you in and get you involved.
I used to own a 1600, 2002tii, Bavaria, and a 330i. I love BMWs! (that's why I'm here
)
