Now, because of the lack of quality '07 or newer B7's available I considered C63 AMG's and E92 M3's. AMG will be fine for me when I retire but not before so that is ruled out, just feels like my Grandads car.
E92's. First thing I notice is they do look sleak in the flesh and trust me I wanted to hate them. Sat inside a good few now and the whole cockpit feels a lot more modern to me compared to the B7. When you look into the technology and gadgets inside (MDrive, BMW Assist/Online, Adjustable driver settings etc.) again they are streets ahead of the RS IMHO. How much of it you'd use after getting settled in is questionable but at least you can personolise the car. On the cost side I have been looking at '08 & '58 plates, manual & DCT for around the £27k-£29k mark and they have looked mint. Clearly the RS is holding it's value better than the M3 at the moment but I would have thought they will drop when the new RS arrives.
So what to do? Get another RS that will probably be older, slower and forever in the shadow of my Daytona or bite the bullet, accept it's time for a change and give the BMW a go?
I'd be interested to hear peoples views.
Sad times but that will teach me for writing mine off
