hi, im thinking about purchasing specifically a ap2 in black soon.

Wondering are there any common problems that might occur, and any opinions on this car would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

I just got my 'S in November, no known issues that I know of. Welcome to the board!

 

look for transmission problems, especially in 1-3rd gears.

 

hmm i thought transmission problems were only in 00-02 ap1?

 

ill sell you a brand new 2008 model lol

 

Kenny, if I do decide to get the 08 CR, I'll get it from you.

Still waiting to see how the new BMW 135 is going to look and perform. From what I heard, that car does not come with any LSD which would really suck.
Or perhaps a trackable R32 GTR. Hmmm...

 

that is not true for AP2 you can chk the tsb there is something about the synchros on 1,2,4 and 6th gears i believe. I was a victim when the car was still brand new. What will happen is that the damaged synchro/gear will pop back out or harder to go in. and if you have this problem make sure you pick the right dealer to fix it or else the result can be horrible (i had very bad experiences with the transmission issues).
