I saw that on the M50 this evening too. It's an ugly bastard. We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

Unlike the '600' taxi that's doing the rounds. Excuse the Hiace. Spotted on the Dublin quays today. The best exhaust note i've heard in a while and it was bearly moving!This is water. Inspiring speech by David Foster Wallace https://youtu.be/DCbGM4mqEVw?si=GS5uDvegp6Er1EOG

I know that car. It's owned by a guy around the corner from me. Nice car with some noise but it doesn't move much.0 -

This is parked outside my mother-in-law's house on a regular basis. It's a '95, so according to the Alpina website it's either a (4WD) 525ix brought out to 3l, a tuned 540i, or a 540i brought out to 4.6l. It's a pity I didn't catch the alloys, they're gorgeous, and the track is terrifying. Even the roof bars are cool.

Freaky. For no particular reason I was looking at Bristols on a Uk website just last night.0 -

It's not a 525ix anyway, they were all LHD.0 -

Handy enough way to find out - check the tax disc next time it's parked there.This is parked outside my mother-in-law's house on a regular basis.

You might like my side project..This is parked outside my mother-in-law's house on a regular basis.

Within the next two weeks Ill get back my E34 Touring, manual, Fjord Grey with a 3.2 M3 Evo engine dropped into it. Have an cream leather two tone M5 seats for it too. It also has the rare double roof option and ACS Wheels. SE body with only very mild lowering though, keeping this one Q.0 -

There's a manual 525iX E34 Touring manual around Dublin, that was brought in from London the year before last year. I was very tempted, when that came up for sale. I had bought my Audi 200 Avant Quattro shortly before that and had passed up the one that JohnB850 then bought because it was auto.CharlieCroker wrote: »It's not a 525ix anyway, they were all LHD.MetzgerMeister wrote: »True. AFAIK, only mainland Europe ever got 4WD BMWs.johnb850 (and his 525ix) would beg to differ:
Must have a nose off the tax disc next time, hadn't thought of that.
There's the odd 800 E34 iX RHD build. That's about it. It's true that all the current iX models are LHD only, but the E34 was the pre-decessor to the X5, only came as 525 petrol and exists in RHD, even though very much in limited amounts.

Pretty sure it was grey now you come to mention it. Wasn't all that tidy but I saw the 'ix' and had to check it up once I got home. Never knew about it before then.
I edited the post above. Dunno why I thought it was grey. Probably because of the grey leather interiour And yes, it isn't the tidiest car, but it's mechanically very sound. The owner replaced all shocks (avail OEM only) and springs I think, too. Fixed a good few other bits, NCT'd it and VRT'd it. So it has a good bit money spend on.

Nice. Why an M3 motor though? Seems like an odd choice.
I don't think I've seen a project of yours that I don't like, I'm only jealous of your resources, particularly storage -- I have 2 in the drive at the moment, the poor wife's e39 touring has been forced out onto the street.
Is it wrong for one of your goals in life to be: Barn Ownership?0 -
