Am I Mad - 320d change to Mk1 TT 3.2?
Discussion
Hi guys
Just wanted to check to see if i had perhaps lost my mind. I have owned my e91 320d msport touring for 5 years. fab car, not missed a beat. tyres and diesel is all its asked for. Bought it for family duty stuff, kids a little older and was looking to get back in to something less boring. The 320d is now 7 years old and has 77k miles on it. Its worth about £6700 on a good day. Now we are not in the position that I want to spend money buying something expensive just now, but in maybe a year or two I will. So looking to do a swap or near abouts. Max input would be £2000. Now I have had a massive soft spot for a MK4 r32 forever. However i think the moment is passed and I am struggling to find a good one. All seem to have been trashed. Dream R32 is Tornado red 3 door. Looking through autotrader I have seen a few low miles mk1 tts. They are starting to look like they are on the way up. classic design and cool little cars. There is a dark grey with saffron leather 3.2q DSG with 35K miles, looks as new.
Would i be crazy to do it? the TT is a 2005 car. Will I kick myself later? should I just keep my BMW and wait for the want to change to pass?
Any other suggestions always welcome. Need to be able to stick 2 carseats on isofix in the rear for those just in case situations.
help!

I know about the engine, not exactly set the world alight, but I do love the sound. Just worried that it all ends up costing me a fortune if there are things that go pop. No matter how low the miles are its still a 12 year old car! other than the DSG mechatronic thing and I know about the chain drive that needs checked anything else that is specific to the TT?
