Sat in one a few weeks ago in the showrooms- too small for my family but I like it....

Stunning motor!

Great backdrop for it too.

Picked her up Saturday morning, told it was the first sold in the country? Lovely bangs and pops from the exhaust. Baseline 20i but plenty of go for me.

What a gorgeous motor! I actually saw you on the other side of the motorway outside Cahir on Saturday. I was on my way back from Cork. Very hard to miss that!

Not quite as nice a the new Z4, but still a gorgeous motor.

420i GC Sport Auto. Interior is a bit disappointing as it's older tech than the X1's I've been in for the past few months.

My grey X1 was sold a couple of weeks ago, so been driving another X1 but someone is interested in that, so dropped it this morning and collected this - only until early next week, but have a manufacturer demo coming in for a few weeks.

Ha ya that was me, I’d just picked it up from Morrison’s in Cahir. Drove the whole way down to Kerry with the top down!

That is fcuking gorgeous :eek:. Best of luck with it :cool:

Picked this up on Tuesday after being locked up in storage for 8 years. A 1993 Renault 19 RSi saloon with 49k miles.

So far this week it's had a new rad, new fan motor, full service, timing belt and water pump, brakes freed up and a new battery fitted. Tomorrow it gets new tyres. Last thing it needs is a new wing and indicator then it's NCT time.

Its filthy and had a few dents but will be nice and usable.

Leonard Hofstadter · 26-04-2019 9:40pm

I always liked those, they were a lovely car back in the day.

high horse · 27-04-2019 12:21am

I remember those Renault 19s having really nice seats with very high bolsters. Any photos of the interior?

morritty · 27-04-2019 9:07am

We had one back in 2002, a 95 1.4 bacarra. I haven't sat in a more comfortable car seat since. Well wear BA, glad you finally found one.

ba_barabus · 27-04-2019 9:12am

Cheers guys, I'll get some interior pics later when it's cleaner. It's got the heavily bolstered bucket seats alright. Not had a chance to go too far in it yet. New tyres going on today. Then I need to find a new wing and indicator to complete it.

Had her down in Killarney last week, now in the South East. Just love the combination of power and economy, over 800km to a tank with 313bhp, I don't know how BMW do it. 2 year warranty will be up end of this year and already thinking of a remap and a possible suspension upgrade (bilstein shocks with eibach springs maybe). Will ensure I don't get bored of it.

A mighty car indeed...you can usually extend your warranty if you want for a reasonable fee.

punisher5112 · 28-04-2019 12:23am

How much to fill the tank but does sound very good for what it is....

Wailin · 28-04-2019 1:30am

70 litre tank, it will do 550 (890km) miles of motorway. Drops significantly on short trips in fairness as do most cars.

Nope, that's a 325i.

My 335 was dark grey with those same alloys and an aero lip on the front.

S213 E AMG Line Premium

Picking her up Thurs morning... kinda excited

quadrifoglio verde · 30-04-2019 10:04pm

Finally took the plunge a few weeks ago and picked up a new Giulia Veloce. Had to be in red so was made wait an extra 6 weeks but definitely worth the wait.

Took her up to Brian in Spirit detailing today for a ceramic coating having had her filthy since I collected her. Dealer was told not to touch the paintwork and in fairness they didn't. Was a lot harder for me not too though.

To anyone who is on the fence about them, just go and drive one. Yeah the dealer network is ****e but they're worth it. **** me she likes to dance
