Max Power1 wrote: » Only drove down to take photos, back in town already Why would I walk, surely the car will drive me there! Also, they dont make the 535 in manual so I couldnt have a manual even if I wanted to! Something about (not one word of a lie) they couldnt build a manual box that could handle the torque!
toastedpickles wrote: » Bah! Excuses! :pac: I won't lie that's a pretty badass statement right there haha
Max Power1 wrote: » Hehe Im laid up with my back anyway these days... the car is the only place im actually comfortable hence the random drives! Badass statement, and true! I just googled there and this is the first link that came uphttp://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=100&i=9847 but there are many others.

Each plane is going to do two runs and are in a holding pattern east of blackrock, if you want to see them in relative quietness, sandymount beach should be perfect as they circuit around to complete their second run. No need for the quays at all Oh and my BMW is a manual and proud of it

Max Power1 wrote: » BMW themselves said it, must have come from somewhere! As regards torque figures, the e60 535d has 428 lb/ft while the m5 e60 has 384 lb/ft (The 530d from the same era has 369 lb/ft)

It is 12 euro for the day max charge, which works out at just over the cost of two return luas tickets from my gaff so I figure it is worth it. There are many streets that are free parking on a sunday too, up around stephens green every second street is pay parking monday-sat only.

I missed out on their last black bmw 318ci which was a better spec and all round better condition and only 40k on the clock was going for 7k granted this is a diesel and a 320cd thoughts?
