It is a rare and valuable car, it's an RS500. According to the description it's had £36k spent on it.

I wouldn't pay £70k for it though. I'd rather one of the original ones.

Custom plate too, might add a few quid. They can be quite expensive to buy in the UK.

I'm sure it does what it says on the tin but I think it's a dreadful looking thing.

I just want to see what you all think or this:


https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/bmw-5-series-2009/15902665

I've been looking at these now for about a month and as far as I can see, they're about 1500e over.

Now, that's based on bringing one in from the UK, so after all your expenses etc, maybe 1k over.

Thoughts?

Edit: I realise that this isn't quite in "dreamer" territory.

You'd get a 535D landed with VRT paid for less than that - and likely better specced. Its pretty saucy money for a 530D which doesn't appear to have a whole lot of options fitted (no sports box, sunroof, HUD etc.). If it was originally Irish then maybe there'd be some justification for it.

Not that it matters much but is that 100KM or 100,000 Km.

About twice of what it should be going for, 16500 for a S200!

If it was an early version yeah, but it's 2006, not a 2000, AP1. 1999s go for about 7-8k, so being a newer version AP2, with the suspension upgrade it's bound to be more expensive. Not many 2006s around either cos their sales started to drop off by then. Stopped production in 2009.

9 grand for a DC2, madness. I know it is a '98 spec model and sounds like it is enthusiast owned but I would never pay that for it and I like DC2's.

I just sold a a coupe for more €€ with less spec with the wrong engine. You need to take a look what e36s are making now. They're going the way of e30s and they've doubled in value in the last two years. Not overpriced at all, it's a niche market but defiantly not overpriced. I'd expect it to be haggled to 3.5 but no less.

Could get a beaut of a DC5 for that money.

Is there any particular reason for this price rise?

Good ones are getting rarer. They've got an almost boxy look now making them look "cool" to chungfellas. Oh and they're FANTASTIC fun, I'd a loan of a 325 e36 wagon yesterday while my own car was being serviced and what a fun car to drive...not in straight lines if you get me.

What's the alternative? Is200s wouldn't pull your foreskin back, altezzas are mental money, then you've got your twin cams and the enormous money they command too. The e36 is a sweet spot, great engines, not mad money (yet) but they're going up every month on donedeal.

They're a damn sight cheaper than a turbo s14 anyway!
You'd get a nice Impreza for simolar money I'd say.

You'd get a lot of impressive cars for 3750 to be fair, it's all about the RWD though.

I really have to bite my tongue when suggesting a fun RWD car in that price range.

I bought one in June for under 3k with low miles and no rust. The bumpers needed to be taken off and refitted but other than that it is mint. I'm a member of an e36 group on faceache and any good original 6 cylinder e36 are 3k sterling and up. Even 4 cylinder examples are 2k once they're decent.

I got almost 4K for my death trap e36 and only four pot.

If it was original/stock then I could see it. Good original cars are going for that in the UK, in sterling. In Europe they're getting 10-15k euro, but again for original spec. Same in their homeland of Japan(and they can be mad money in the US). "Upgrades" pretty much always hurt the value when a car starts moving into the "classic" category. Which these most certainly are. Classic car mags/sites have been plugging them a lot recently as have auction houses. The introduction of the new Civic R has brought even more attention to them. The days of them being bought for buttons are gone*.

But not in the Irish market. Our market is pretty much dead for these and similar. It's also a little odd. EG

Everywhere else the DC5 has levelled out and is dropping in value. It's seen as the poor relation of the "real one"* and not an emerging classic. Except for here. For some reason Ireland prefers them. Irish buyers seem to be less put off by upgrades too. If I was selling a DC2 I'd advertise it in the UK, not here. If I was selling a DC5 reverse that.


*folks can forget that even "icons" like the Lancia Delta Integrale hit the low point once(around the late 90's). Sure loads of people raved about them, but didn't want to buy one and dealers just couldn't shift them. Now they're going for decent money. Ditto for Sierra and Escort Cossies.

**though the DC5 is still a remarkably modern looking car considering the design is nearly 20 years old(the DC2, especially with the round headlights looks more like late 80's). More torque, more power, more comfort too, but missing that special something the DC2 had. Back in the day I had the choice of either and drove a few examples of both, but the DC2 won out. It's got the better chassis/suspension setup.
