What makes you think that's the case? You're completely wrong.

cars are usually registered when they are brought into the country. it would be unusual to leave a car like that sitting for more than 2 years.

But in fairness that's a different thing to saying that a car that has being in the country since 2018 could not have a 211 registration.
Either way a cracking car and kudos to the owner.

Cars are given a reg based on when they are actually registered so it's not impossible for a year or 2 old car to have a newer reg.

There was a Mazda3 MPS for sale a few years ago which is a good example. It was a 2007 MY model but had something like a 2014 license plate as it wasn't registered until then.

I'm not sure what makes people think that, you can register a car whenever you want

I seen that new Ferrari 812 yesterday. I was a bit underwhelmed with the colour and lack of noise. Very discreet, but maybe thats the way the owner wants it.

Will have a video of this out Friday, Octavia RS vid is live as of this morning for those interested.

I hope you had fun driving that!

The seats look awesome!

Andrew76 · 12-04-2021 7:56pm

Gorgeous except for that awful nose on it. Guess you can't see that when you are driving it though.

wotzgoingon · 12-04-2021 8:04pm

I think the front looks good. Welcome change from the same old same old from BMW the past decade if not two decades.

Kidney grill goes back a few more decades than the last two!

There's a black 4 series doing the rounds near be, I haven't had a good look but the grill isn't as noticeable and not as bad.

You're right my old e39 was a 1998 so that's 3 decades ago and they were around well before that.

Regarding those seats they look great from behind(carbon fibre) but I hate the white theme going on with the interior of that M3.

I think those seats look ridiculous - it's a car, not an intergalactic spaceship.

duffman3833 · 13-04-2021 9:25am

The front end im not gone on. Its like when cars a modified and they stick the license plate on any bit of bumper thats not hacked away or obstructing air flow

MetzgerMeister · 13-04-2021 2:42pm

You could put a normal plate on the front of that without obstructing airflow and have it a lot neater looking.

Total agree, ridiculous, they look like something you'll see at an amusement park

James Bond Junior · 13-04-2021 2:44pm

I did something similar on my E36. It was taken off never to be refitted in about 2 hours. Got a special holder that screwed into the towing eye. Looked thoroughly daft.

it was an example i just quickly googled but you get the drift

Mickiemcfist · 13-04-2021 7:44pm

That M3 looks the exact same spec as the one that was on Harrys Garage, he hated the seats.

Looking forward to the review.

MarkN · 13-04-2021 8:53pm

They are not the easiest to get out of and I am a much younger man than Harry

Rattlehead_ie · 16-04-2021 10:36am

Lovely sound. Saw last wk in Bray.

GeneHunt · 16-04-2021 4:42pm

Sorry I didn't have my phone or camera with me earlier today, but I saw a Volkswagen ID4 with Irish plates.
I didn't know they were available here yet.
