    given their legality and the fact that the avensis beside you has its reg displayed, it may not take too much effort to find you, so I wouldn't say too much!

    I doubt the cops are gonna be arsed looking for someone with a lead like that. "Hey super intendendent, I got a suspect I'm chasing with a speed detector in his car. I know what the car looks like but the real clue is that I know the reg of some car it was parked beside, somewhere in Irelend, in the past two years", "Right so, bring him in and we'll beat it out of him"

    Hi All,

    all-new to boards.ie, but what better way to start posting than in this thread with this little special something:

    ParkNo4.jpg

    The pix is someone else's, mine's exactly the same with ltd ed no. 259/400.

    1998
    1.8L
    135 bhp
    42k miles
    2nd owner (bought at 14k miles from first lady owner).

    Not modded in any way - looks good enough to eat in stock condition, don't you think? Full leather interior, Chrome sill plates, walnut dash, Momo steering wheel, chrome 'flush' boot rack, chrome medium-bore exhaust, etc.

    Will smoke a Lotus Elise on a good m'way (can't accelerate as hard, but the Elise bottoms out earlier at top-end) - tested in Belgium @ 130 mph+ :eek: (speedo).

    Yo KB can you clear something up for me? I see you car is a 2.5L yet the badge says 523i. I always presumed this meant it was a 2.3L engine? Like a 316 or a 318 is 1.6 and 1.8 litre respectively? I take it the i means injection?

    With BMWs the i originally meant injection but nowadays means it is petrol (whereas d is diesel).
    There was a thread about this a few months back - the 323i/523i is a 2.5L engine but was detuned due to German insurance reasons and also because BMW figured they didn't want a this car being almost as powerful as the 2.8L 328i/528i.
    Most engines are higher than their badge indicates but I think this is also to do with the fact that the cars are becoming heavier and they want to retain a similar power to weight ratio.
    Finally, there is the marketing aspect to many of these - the current 520i is 2.2L but from a marketing perspective the 522i doesn't sound as good.

    A 328 used to have a 3ltr engine, a 320 a 1.8ltr, 323 was 2.5ltr.
    the 320i has never had a 1.8L engine. The 1st 3 series (the E21, used 2L ingines (the M10B20 [with & without injection] & the M20). The M20 in the E30 (box shape 3 series) was also 2L as was the M50 engine used in the E36 (1990s shape 3 series. The current E46 began using the 2.0L M52 engine but now uses a 2.2L engine

    ...to BMW owners ;)

    Is it me, or is this Forum very BMW-centric? What is it with the Bayerische Motor Werke, people? BMW-this, BMW-that :rolleyes:

    The Clown Man's Alfa looks a $m - although I'd never buy an Alfa after the horrors of a mate of mine who had to change the whole rolling train at 60k on a 2.0 TS + the horrors of my last Italian car (Brava 1.6 SX).
