Brady,
In Ireland, I owned the black MC for a while. Are you the guy with the 99 D silver MC down in mondello? I spoke to a few BMW dealers on numbers and they said that they believe only 5~6 MC's were originally registered in Ireland (I've seen at least 3 Dublin registered MC's). I then know of a few more which were imported in from the UK (including the one in carzone). I spoke to this guy and it sounds like a good one, but he said he wants 29,000 euro! for the car. Might explain why its been there a while.Ex - 99 Cosmos Black M Coupe, Blk/Grey interior, Sunroof;
06 Z4 Coupe 3.0i Sport.

Brett,
The 29,000 euro stands for switching the car to Irish number plates. If I remember, he was looking for 16,000 sterling which equates to about 24,500 euros. To get the car registered in Ireland, you need to pay a extra tax called VRT which adds about 5,000 euros to the price (= 29,000 euros). :cry:
You can buy it for the £16,000 obviously. Might explain why there is so little MC's in this country.
He told me he went to the UK to find a mint MC. He test drove 6 MC's before he found this one. He hasn't had it long (6 months I think).Ex - 99 Cosmos Black M Coupe, Blk/Grey interior, Sunroof;

Originally posted by c_wI think even if it was mid-2001 I think this would have meant people would have been aware of it's release (probably been in motoring press for about a year before it did) so maybe buyers would have held off 'till its release?CLK55 AMG Cabriolet
