I nearly pay for it just for the convenience. Nearest motel is only down the road, get to pick it up whenever's handy rather than trying to figure out when I need to be around for a courier, find it dumped over my fence or just "lost".
True, but in those cases where irish post is as cheap I send it to my work.
Very handy

Funny story but I'm currently working for an IT company down the road from me.
They also allow employees to get their postage sent to work. I was told at one point a guy ordered 8 alloys and had them delivered to work. All 8 were sitting out in reception taking up most of the space.
Tenner bets it was the guy driving the E36 cabrio with 18 inch Borbets!
Recently enough I also saw a 3 tonne trolley jack sitting in reception

It's the pre facelift isn't it?
Would you not go for the upgraded 17's?

They're the same alloys. I would be stripping the black paint off and painting them silver. I'm just not sure if it's worth driving the distance for some bent yokes :pac:
Yeah it's a pre-facelift.0 -

Every lad in the place was in to see the Borbet A's when I got them delivered. I was honestly getting worried about them 0 -

Most people I can find are selling replicas though and not for a decent price either

I know a fella who had them on his pre facelift silver 06. He got them redone in a light grey colour. Look really well. Sold that on and bought a 2010 silver facelift. Kept the wheels and put them wheels on it, tinted the rear windows and it looks the business now. Didn't lower it or anything, and tbh it doesn't really need it, they work well at the standard height.0 -

Well I'll be looking for something in the coming months anyway! I think the 17 inch Zetec wheels look the job as well :cool:
Still waiting on bits and bobs to do my cruise control retrofit :pac: It will be handy crawling through roads that have speed vans almost every day and just doing the motorway commute at a steady pace 0 -

The bimmer is a horrific disease, wouldn't wish it on anyone
Sell S4 in UK and bring in 540i?
Alternative is buy an MSport shell (assuming you want MSport) for about €1k and source a 4.4 V8 engine and transmission etc. A proper BMW mechanic could potential do the conversion and get the engineers report etc.
540 is only 286bhp mind....0 -

Yeah I do completely get what you're saying. Fantastic cabin space in the E39 to be fair and a very comfortable drive in general. I'd say the V8's are lovely. Have you looked at a 535i or even an E38?
A 740i really is a stunning car in E38 guise. It's a pity I never got to show you my 750!
Agree re A4, in a similar vein to the Lexus of that age the cabinspace certainly is tighter.
I wouldn't rule out a 7 series if the right one came along, 535i would be fine also
I've been scouring uk and irish sites for E39's and 530i 545i e60's constandly the last few days
Twas a sign :pac:0 -

Being honest, and many may disagree with me, you only live once, and even if it costs you €8k to have an E39 540i in the right spec that you want then you should just go and buy that!
There will always be a market for a car like that in Ireland, you may not get €8k for it, but just keep it for 5-10 years and you won't regret it, assuming of course, that it's definitely the car you want!
If it's what you want, go buy it! 0 -
