    Does anyone if the Guards kept some of those BMW's used in the state visits, saw a black BMW 7series being escorted today by the guards it looked as if it was an armoured one and it was an 11 reg, they were heading up the north road at finglas, escorted by 3 outriders and 2 unmarked SDU BMW 5 series, cool sight I must say :D

    Yotube the queen's visit, compare the reg's.

    Nobody will tell you here in an official capacity, but I'd say it's hardly rocket science to conclude they're the same cars or part of the same batch.

    @Mods I know someone will lock the thread but I would maintain as long as the thread contains nothing but speculation (and to be honest, even if it didn't) there is zero security risk.

    Once you go through Passport control at pier D in Dublin airport, you can see some of them clearly through the windows, along with a handful of Vitos aswell.

    They belong to the VIP area in Dublin Airport.

    Isn't one purported to be a confiscated vehicle so I'd imagine they'd have at least one. The Toiseach's Garda escort is also a BMW but I thought it was a 5 series standard build.

    That happens all day everyday! Ya don't honestly think anyone in their right mind would drive through Finglas without a garda siochaloni escort :D
