Does anyone know this car?

dest · 06-04-2013, 05:44 AM

I quite like the look of this (not sure on the tints, but could remove those)
Just wondered if anyone knew the car or can see any glaringly obvious issues?

Seems a really good buy

dakhu1 · 06-04-2013, 07:11 AM

not my cup of tea (no offense

) but nicely modified if you like that sort of thing - certainly a lot better then most of the other modded e90s ive seen (again, my opinion)

dest · 06-04-2013, 07:16 AM

The thing is, its not really that modified if you took off the tints and changed the wheel colour back to silver. I love the rear bumper and spoiler!

I do have my eye on another standard blue saloon, but got ring in the morning to see if its still available.
Ive got my fingers crossed because it looks very tidy and is local

there is a blue touring on AT with the pan roof and iDrive setup, for similar money

although it is just stock.

Icekube · 06-04-2013, 07:39 AM

I rang the bloke with the one I first posted in this thread and he said it was as good as sold to someone. He said it had broken down this evening though with a suspected alternator, needed 2 front tyres and ideally the front bumper sprayed due to stone chips.

However, I also spotted the red one the other day and have been chatting to the owner and will probably be putting a deposit on it with viewing at the weekend

dest · 06-04-2013, 04:14 PM

Deposit now paid, well pleased!
Now to try and work out how to speed up time because its a looooong time until Sunday when I can collect it

Dizzle · 06-05-2013, 03:16 AM

Congratulations fella

dxb335d · 06-05-2013, 03:21 AM

What did you drive before ?

dest · 06-05-2013, 03:33 AM

My last car was a B5 RS4 with various mods running 420bhp. I never got round to getting the map tweeked after the latest mods I did, but would of been 500bhp if I had

Icekube · 06-05-2013, 03:45 AM

Red one is a very nice looking car, congrats

dxb335d · 06-05-2013, 03:50 AM

Love RS4's mate, what a beast! What mods to get a potential 520HP

dest · 06-05-2013, 03:58 AM

To get 500-520 out of a B5 RS4 its a case of:

Injectors
Fuel pump
Upgraded oil cooler
3" downpipes
Decent stainless exhaust
Remap

FRG · 06-05-2013, 10:03 AM

Dest, is it you who ran the RS4 register on SRS? I thought you were B5 mad and then switching to a BMW

skelts · 06-05-2013, 10:33 AM

Dest cracking purchase mate. Car looks lovely and loving the colour.

Greg330 · 06-05-2013, 10:40 AM

Really nice buy, I love a big red Touring!

Look forward to seeing some more pictures and what you do to it...

Yes that's me, I still love them but want a car I can drive more and do some travelling in

I was posting on there earlier this year, and reading a lot about the B5 as I'd love one and was going to buy one this year around this time (misano BTW if there was one about) but I got a conservatory instead, it's great being married

!

The new motor looks nice, gotta love red

. Hope you enjoy it from Sunday onwards. I'll bet you'll miss that B5 though.

dest · 06-05-2013, 04:39 PM

I will miss the B5 but also I'm happy to move on.
5 Audi's in a row and its time for a total change of scenery!
In my 24 years of driving I've never owned a BMW, and always wanted one, so I'm REALLY looking forward to it

I will be doing some mods, nothing too extreme, anyone who knows me will know I'm more into subtle finishing touches. To me, that is what makes all the difference.

I will get a build/owners thread started and get some photos up as soon as I can.
Sunday cannot come soon enough!!

Tak1986 · 06-05-2013, 04:48 PM
