Hi there, I'm from the north too, Belfast to be exact.  Where abouts are you from and what do you drive?

plenty of nice BM's in Belfast (the other half is from up there so I get to spend many of my visits being envious!). IIRC Northern Ireland has the highest rate of BMWs per head after Germany.

Hi Darron,

Up near Sainsburys.  Does me fine, I'm on my third BM in two years, long story, but has looked at a 320 before buying my current one.  It didn't have any body kit to speak of and the wheels were sh1t so decided to go for the iS and haven't looked back since.  (Well until a friend bought an Imola red E46 325Ci Sport!!)

Daaron - if you have pics of your motor but can't get them online either email me a copy or if you are going to be at any of the meetings give me a hard copy & I will scan them for you. (many film developers will stick them on CD for you)

We have two NI contacts who we have asked to come up with events with a NI bias. Don't forget that all events are open to all members no matter where you're from.

BTW, we have quite a few members from Donaghdee.

Daaron, believe it or not  you can get them at your local dealer.  I ordered a single one for my 318iS, £10 + vat I think.  I will email you a picture of a twin one.
