DC2 Type R owners please :)

Some 98 specs are only 9 years old, the same age as your car.

My mistake, I didn't realise they did DC2's in 2002. I thought most of them were N-W reg.

I wouldn't buy a 9 year old BMW (I don't own a 9 year old BMW, though) either, for context :)
 
Someones in age denial :p

lol it's not relevant at all. I wouldn't buy a 9 year old BMW either...they aren't exactly a simple car and there is lots to go wrong on them.

However, a well looked after DC2 which has had it's issues sorted. I wouldn't hesitate (evidently :p)
 
Just my opinion at the end of the day, I just think for the guy I replied to who owned one back when they were younger might not find the same experience if he bought another today, thats all :)

Our FTO really felt a bit creaky and old by the time it left us :) Similar car, similar concept..

I think I'd agree with you if he sold it before because he was bored of it. However if memory serves he got shot of it to help pay for a house deposit or something similar?

But what your saying is entirely possible. He might not get one that was as good as his previous one.
 
Imagine I sold my car now for whatever reason - lets say I either had 3 babies OR bought a Ferrari.

5 years later I decide I fancy another E39 530i. Is my ownership experience going to be the fond thing I remember it being from before? No.

Hence my opinion on the guy who fancies one again, thats all :) I think he'd be better off with a 350Z as per his original plan.
 
Fair point. They hold their value well...so if it isn't the same he won't have problems getting rid of it to go to a 350Z :)

They don't, they stopped at 2001.

He only sold it last year didn't he?
 
I've got a thing for late plate stuff, no idea why but seeing a '51 plate Integra or a '51 plate Classic Impreza or an 05 plate E39 or something is just cool :p
