Just picked up a new whip....

I recently moved back to Hong Kong and was forced to sell my beloved E92 328i. I will always miss the way she handled thru the corners, brings a huge grin to my face every time.

However this past week, I just got myself an Audi s5 cause the deal was just too gd to pass up. The growl of the V8 was intoxicating, and it just looked so damn gd. I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum for the help you guys have given me in regards to mods, and advice with those pesky stealerships in general. (you guys saved me ALOT of money!) I'll still be on this forum from time to time, I can't wait to see the new 3 series! Well enough gibbering, on with the pictures!



(Note: these were taken with my Iphone so quality is sub-par)

My e92 328i:




The S5








Small meet with a couple frds

Congrats! When you say a great deal, how great? Is it much cheaper than an equivalent BMW?

BTW, I did not know what those air scoops in red looked under the hood, they actually look very cool in an AW.

ya I got it for the same price as a 335i in hk. Considering cars cost twice as much here due to that damn auto tax, the price difference in hk between a s5 and a 335i is aprox $80000 HKD, which works out to be about about $10000 US saved.

and ya! I loved the red scoopes on a AW car. I was the only one I know who had that color combo, it made me feel special...

I think the lowered front looks great... but I'm not so sure about the jacked up pickup truck look you're going for in the rear

Ha ha ha, I was going to say his new car was stolen and later found at a wreck shop with Hancook Tires as a front

Well just you know I might pick up what you had just left off with that red scoop thing.

I like the way you parked all the way over in that parking space to avoid dings!

I don't know why that car doesn't do it for me, iam not a fan of the rear quarter panel, looks like a camero.

Good color choice, have fun with it.

I would buy the s5 over the 335is, assuming they are same price. but only in black as I think that is the best color for the s5.
