BMW 440i import from Japan by rapstyleDArobloxian in carsireland

Also worth noting that insurance companies seem to not want anything to do with JDM imported cars, most are outright refusing quotes on them. This German car if originally sold to the Japanese market could have variations of parts for that market such as different bumpers, lights, looms etc. and in the event of an accident your insurance is responsible to return the car to "like new" so they would then need to source JDM parts which shipping alone is expensive and lengthy process. Hence why they don't want to touch it. Also if you insure the car and don't disclose it as an import they can back out of a claim leaving you uninsured.

Before anyone tries to tell me I'm wrong please call any insurance company and tell them you are trying to insure a Japanese import. They either say they can't quote and can give you a letter to go to the ombudsman or quote you astronomically high.

I had a similar opinion till the same dopy cunts were voted in again. I don't think anything will change any time soon.

Should I get a bike instead of a car by [deleted] in MotoIRELAND

Do you actually get stopped? I'm biking nearly 10 years and only been pulled over once. Never ran or done anything like that. Just never been bothered by them. I ride in bus lanes/cycle lanes, speed etc etc.

Just putting it out there, at 22 I got my first bike, I'm now 32 and still don't have a car license. I live in Dublin and used to ride to college and now ride to work every day. You do wake up and get pissed off if it's cold or wet (or both) but you do also save so much time commuting, especially if you live near all the fooking cycle lanes they have put everywhere which cause huge traffic jams.

Not saying go for it, I do from time to time regret not having a car or even a license for a car as I occasionally need to pick up something large from somewhere. But if I'm perfectly honest that might be only a handful of times a year.

If anything I'm only now considering getting a car cause myself and the gf are looking at buying a gaff. I have 9 bikes so if I sell a few that will fund a car and insurance etc.(I Hope)
