I have a Black 320i Coupe - it was in Decembers Total BMW magazine. The Irish events seem to be a bit dead to be honest, which is a shame. Hopefully it might pick up a bit.

I'm from Dublin myself. I'm setting up a new BMW site at the moment, and will hopefully be able to organise a few meets/events based on interest. I run Irelands biggest Honda website (legacy from my Civic days) and still organise events like meets, rolling road days etc - we had a trip to the Belfast Sports Car Show a month or two ago as well.

Whereabouts do the g/f's parents live?

Nah - I live on the other side of the city, that said, Dublin isn't exactly the size of London!! Its about 30-40 minutes away from me, I live 5 minutes outside the Phoenix Park.

The wheels are genuine EVO ones - they were for sale in a small alloy wheel shop in Dublin, fully refurbed. I paid €1300 or so for them with new tyres, which was quite reasonable I think. I had trouble finding a decent set of genuine wheels, so snapped them up when I got the chance.

The car behind is my mates Integra Si, very fast car. Theres a better copy of the photo at www.bmw-driver.net/images/320i_HiRes.jpg

To post a picture, click the picture sign (second last on the right) and then type the URL of the picture you want to display!
