I used to spend a lot of summers in O Carroll's cove (where you took the photo) and one of the best drives I've ever had was from there to Waterville so I could get money to go drinking. Sun shining, quiet road and a rwd 6 cylinder BMW. Fantastic.

Yep, that's what I did all the way down, threw it into Manual Sport mode and kept it in 2nd/3rd on the bends, can't beat revving to 6500!

Regularly be down in Waterville myself...! Lovely part of the world really. The drive from Sneem to Killarney is the best though...!

It's so good, everyone deletes it.

Also lol, is that 525 a diesel? :pac:
Anything below 7000 is just measly.

Really wish the plastics on the radio and the passenger airbag bit matched. They're almost like two different colours...!

neasyerac · 30-06-2015 03:52PM

Still rocking the Legacy B4 RSK, bought this fella 2 years ago to the day. Initially I picked a legacy cause I didn't see to many of them around and thought it would be nice to own an unusual car backed up by comfort and power for a relatively low price compared to other cars around the same power.

Taylor365 · 30-06-2015 03:59PM

MASSIVE PICTURES

And getting rarer still :P

I'd say about 4 of mine on the island if even.

TrailerBob · 01-07-2015 10:29AM

Out for a short spin...

Landmark mileage... Looks ok on it I reckon..

sk8board · 02-07-2015 10:22AM

picked this up yesterday; 4-series gran coupe.
first ever new car, replacing a '08 5-series touring msport

DoctorStrange · 02-07-2015 10:27AM

Very nice! Happy driving. What engine ya get?

Duke O Smiley · 02-07-2015 10:30AM

That looks very very nice indeed.

Whats the difference between a 3 series and 4 GC though?

02-07-2015 10:39AM

The 4 GC still uses the same 4 series chassis whereas a 3 series would have a different chassis.

That is absolutely gorgeous sk8board, the blue colour is very striking. What engine is in it? Judging by the size of the front discs I'm going to hazard a guess that it's a 430d.

sk8board · 02-07-2015 10:54AM

its the new b47 420d, 190hp & 400 lbs torque. that engine is in the 4GC since April or May.

I tested the 430d alright and its great.

0-100 is 5.6s v 7.1s, but in real-world driving the gap is far closer with the 8-speed ZF box, so I waited for the b47 and got a better spec instead. Taxed it this morning for just €200. happy days.

the brake upgrade seems worth it for the money - you get fixed brembo-made 4-piston calipers and bigger discs, with the shadowline glass and a 600w harman kardon.

GvidoR · 02-07-2015 10:57AM

Wow, 8 speed gearbox and only €200 for a years tax?

The 3 Series is a standard saloon/hatchback or estate while the 4 GC is a 4 door version of the coupe. Same thing as the Audi A4 and A5 Sportback.

I don't think they really had practicality in mind when designing it. :P

He's some friend! I wouldn't lend most of my own friends a bicycle. Smashing new car by the way. Love the colour

Toyotafanboi · 02-07-2015 06:40PM

First "polish" ever on the celica today. Literally just one quick coat of SRP but even that made a huge improvement imo. Usually it's just a wash, demon shine rinse and dry. Nice to be spending time with the car with the bonnet closed

*touch wood!

Foxhole Norman · 02-07-2015 07:57PM

Those Celica's really are a great looking car when not ruined by tacky kits and wheels

Obligatory pic :pac: Really starting to like the grills :cool:
