Hi, all.
A friend of mine drives a lovely e39 520 with registration 03 LH 5
The plate seems familiar, was this owned by anyone here in the past???

This same one? http://www.bmwhaus.ie/forum/showthread.php?tid=2072
He must be looking for the history is he? Reg looks familiar but I think there was loads of similar e39 reg's floating about ;)
Think a lad in Dundalk bought it new. He nearly always got a new 5 series every two years with that LH 5 reg.
I think your thinking of the guy on the Carrick road who gets the 55 reg? He owns the greenore bar.Quote:

I had mentioned it to falcon, so fair play to him for posting!
Here is his thread

"A touch thirsty but performance is strong - it's hit the limiter in 5th on the flat at an indicated 155mph and is near enough as quick 0-100mph as a remapped, manual 530d. Which is surprising to me for a bog model engine."
:huh:
think limiter is 238km/h on most bmwQuote:
