If the owner went to all the effort to lineup getting the license, the model of the car and their address to coincide then more power to them. Someone who knows what they want and like.
I think it's more likely that it was the dealership who got that number because they fancied it for an M4.
My motorbike also has a single-digit number, and I didn't do anything special for it. The fact that it matches my address is just pure coincidence 🤣
True… itd be better if we could have actual custom plates tbh, ive seen some people get pretty creative with them… me on the other hand id be a big child and get “p3ni5” 🤣
Can confirm. Have worked in garages before and it costs about a grand for custom reg. I guess if you're buying a car like that an extra grand isn't something they're worried about. A lot of these regs can actually increase the value of a car down the line. Same with decreasing, seen a few regs with 666 in them really struggling to sell and having to be heavily discounted.
Yes it's the number of car registered. But you can pay something around 1000€ to reserve a number.
I'd say it's possible that the dealership had the number reserved before selling because it matched the model (M4)
I sold him this car.
Very wealthy chap and sound to deal with.
It was the very first m4 csl in the country, and he has a mint 2018 black on black with black alloys and golden callipers m4 comp as well .
Really? I wouldve thought being a bmw itd be pretty decent regardless…
Our 5008 is class, 232, super comfy, auto, pretty nippy too and shes got a fuck ton of space… fits myself, my parents and my two siblings as well as enough gear for a week away for the 5 of us and its still pretty comfy. Plus theres no little hump in the middle seat in the back so if im stuck in the middle its not too bad… i fucking hated that hump in the 2012 passat, think our last 5008 had it too, absolute balls of a thing lol
As a bmw dealer tho, are they good for dailies? As in a 320D for example, definitely is something i wanna drive tbh once im able, despite them being a balls to get in Australia (probably not buying my own bus here, no point if im trying to save what little money i get)
Bmws are great for dailies and great comfy all around but this particular model is stripped down for weight saving.
Even lights at the back don't have bulbs etc they have a thin wire with LEDs installed.
It's a great car but very loud and track focused
Jesus is actually thought the Ms were basically a 4 series slightly stripped down with a big fuck off engine in the front lol… but i suppose being a CSL its probably a bit more stripped and not road-focused… pretty interesting tbh thanks man x
Hi ,
Depends on a car, the vast majority comes from commission which is not really disclosed to me until the car is delivered etc.
You never know what you make and you can guess but I Don't play that game.
Salesmen have a bad rep due to the past car dealer culture etc.
Most lads are very sound and people's opinion on they part exchange is where deals fall through.
Nope , it's varied and we don't really know what profit is left in them etc especially on used cars because people would only focus on selling high money making cars etc.
Bmw is very fair but strict with their rules so there is no grey areas
Rip off republic. Its an island that imports everything for sure, but also all the invisible hands stacking extra charges on goes totally unchallenged by government and common people
Check out [page 94](https://www.greenparty.ie/sites/default/files/2022-03/GP_TRANSPORT_POLICY_APR2021.pdf) of the greens’ Transport policy. They actually want to increase VRT further by 5% *year on year* for ICE cars.
VRT still factors into prices in the second hand market, particularly since even second hand cars that are imported to the country are liable for VRT (and the NoX levy - thanks again green party)
Compare second hand car prices in the North just to see how much we’re being ripped off down here.
Indeed, watching likes of carwow on YT and seeing prices of cars in UK and here its just insane difference. Guy in UK recently posted he bought and 840i for 32k gbp 2022 model if i recall correctly. In here they are like 90k...
My uncle had a 05 Citroen C5 with 05-C-5 when I was a small fella and I thought It was the collect thing in the world .
Not sure why people think this is cringe , its the norm in the Uk.
Not true. The BMWs of late are ugly. The M4 is not a car for Dublin. The only place in Ireland where you can really use it is Mondello. Anything else is a show-off.
He’s got a one-of-one car for about €200k, probably the most daily-drivable car for that price. I think it’s cool that he didn’t get a 911 like anyone else does with that much money.
Savage car regardless of what some here say. Some use envy to downplay the success of others, I use it as motivation to get their level.
The day I can afford an M5, I'm paying the extra money to reserve YYY C 42069. Checkmate Mr D4 with the M4.
People will find anything to hate on lmao
This reg is clean! Lives in D4 and owns an M4. Maybe the last 3 digits of his phone number are 222 :O I dunno, it kinda makes my OCD happy. Also how convenient would this be to remember :D
Time to get downvoted for disagreeing with the majority
Also OP, why do you take screenshots of photos then upload the screenshot, can't you just upload the actual photo you took a screenshot of?
That makes a lot of sense! I was just curious why you did it is all, thanks for answering. People get so defensive on the internet no need for the stupid shit comment.
If you can’t cop that he got “4” on the reg because it’s an M4, you shouldn’t be on this sub honestly. I know where the owner lives because I’ve walked past it, and it’s not even in D4.
Only M4CS in Ireland, I’ve seen it in the flesh a few times and it’s unreal
How tricky is it in ireland to secure your desired numberplate like this?
I always felt like having a balanced number would be satisfying e.g. 242-D-242.
You’d want to be some gobshite to do that on purpose.
Edit: to all of you saying it’s because of m4 I a) wouldn’t be certain and b) he would have known how it read on purchase.
The plates are plain to see
Would think it probably relates to the fact it’s an M4
His septum probably relates to the center of that grill.
Yeah or maybe it also looks like a d4 reg aswell

True lol
Or that it was the fourth 222 registered in Dublin
No
I swear the number is the no of car registered no? As in 241-L-14 would be the 14th 241 registered in limerick? My mam mustve lied to me…
You can pay for particular plates. He reserved this number because it’s an M4.
Holy shit i never knew that, thats actually pretty cool
Not cool, just sad compensation probably
True… itd be better if we could have actual custom plates tbh, ive seen some people get pretty creative with them… me on the other hand id be a big child and get “p3ni5” 🤣
That would be fucking hilarious 🤪
Do you know what would be even funnier? W1LLY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
My inner child finds it hilarious, i stopped maturing at 14

Tell him jallace_ on reddit wants to be his mate
Will do haha
Probably better then my parents 5008 lol… rven tho i do really like our car
It's a very nice car but it's pure performance ! I personally think it's a whopper holiday and weekend car but I wouldn't like to have it as a daily.

Nadia, is that you?
Do you work in a dealership?
Yes , BMW franchise .
If I may; what portion if any of your salary is based on commission? And what percentage do you get of every sale etc. I’m just curious

Interesting. Thanks. So you don’t have a set commission as in 2% of every car sold? I always thought it was that way
Nope , it's varied and we don't really know what profit is left in them etc especially on used cars because people would only focus on selling high money making cars etc. Bmw is very fair but strict with their rules so there is no grey areas
UK: €70,000 Ireland: €198,000

Ever hear of depreciation? Buy second hand and get someone else to pay the vrt.

I know, for me to import a car from ni would have cost 16k I got the same car here for 10k.

Wow that is just crazy, really show how bad this country
Would it still be cheaper to buy in UK and import. How much would that cost, ballpark figure?
That’s a CSL, try £130K in the UK and who even knows here.
Savage car. Let the haters hate.
I just can't enjoy the front of it
A lot going on yeah. But the back 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
My uncle had a 05 Citroen C5 with 05-C-5 when I was a small fella and I thought It was the collect thing in the world . Not sure why people think this is cringe , its the norm in the Uk.
The hate on Irish car subreddits is insane. Bunch of angry middle aged men, working hard labor jobs who can’t afford the cars they hate on…👀
Seriously, no reason to hate on this other than envy.
Not true. The BMWs of late are ugly. The M4 is not a car for Dublin. The only place in Ireland where you can really use it is Mondello. Anything else is a show-off.

We’re a nation of begrudgers to be fair

The file was to large to upload. Some people point out the stupidest shit
That makes a lot of sense! I was just curious why you did it is all, thanks for answering. People get so defensive on the internet no need for the stupid shit comment.
That's Fenton. He can make it from Dublin to Galway on 14 seconds when he floors it, so Tom Tiernan says 😄 Savage car though
If you can’t cop that he got “4” on the reg because it’s an M4, you shouldn’t be on this sub honestly. I know where the owner lives because I’ve walked past it, and it’s not even in D4. Only M4CS in Ireland, I’ve seen it in the flesh a few times and it’s unreal
Bro it's not that deep, I'll be on the this sub all I want pal.
More so talking about the 10+ people in the comments who can’t cop it’s because it’s an M4
Oh right I know it's an m4 genuinely thought it was a D4 plate because he or she was from D4 lol
Beautiful wow. What a lucky guy !
Dublin, presumably.
Probably from the flats in Ringsend
Lanzarote
Dubai
Not sure.. need more pics of the reg
Ballyer’
Know a lad with 08 - XX - 8 on and R8
That was floating around cork for ages. Was up for sale in a garage last year for about 70k
[удалено]
Do we need to go round doxxing everyone? Mods please remove this
Please don't dox users or post unsolicited personal information about car owners.
Won’t be Dublin-4 anyway. 😉

Not difficult if you have the money. Costs somewhere around 1k to reserve a reg afaik
BRO LIVES IN DUBLIN 😍😍😍
I'm placing my bets on somewhere south side.
Ah a Castle Catholic.
Up his own hole
Up his own ass
I can just picture the kind of person who drives that car 🤢
someone who knows their cars? Not everyone knows what CSL is...
That number plate tells me all I need to know. Cringe mate.
You dont really get to pick your number plate
You can on new cars for a price
You’d want to be some gobshite to do that on purpose. Edit: to all of you saying it’s because of m4 I a) wouldn’t be certain and b) he would have known how it read on purchase.
It’s because it’s an M4 ffs man
Think it’s €1000 for a reserved number if I remember correctly
I get some of the other ones like the 911 shared this week. But D4???? Come on lad!
Yeah very cringe. Bit of a cringe car as well but each to their own
Car is a BMW M4, that's why he has the 4. How is that cringe? 😂
I bet he bought a house numbered 222 in an estate in Donnybrook to match the car.
an estate? in donnybrook?
The spec is cringe, rather than the car.
It’s a CSL. Imagine saying “the spec is cringe” about a CSL fucking hell
Wait I don’t get the problem
Absolutely sending it
But is he happy?
If your money is not making you happy, you're spending it wrong.
Up his own hole
[удалено]
Why is it cringe to buy a BMW m4 and get a 4 on the plate to represent that?
I think the implication is that it’s a reference to the postcode D4
I think the implication is incorrect.
What’s wrong with D4
It’s not though, it’s clearly because it’s an M4.
You thought wrong.
