An addition to the family...
Both rides are
The A8, especially the 03-06 have been favorites. The interior is impeccable. And screw resale, the idea is to keep it for a lot of years. Nice pick up.
And what else is there to say about an 03 M5? Um, try a Dinan mod. I think they offer the best mods on those model M5's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.....

First things first, get rid of that wheel gap! Here is my friends M5...for what its worth, he used to walk just about any car that went up against him. He has Dinan CF intakes, headers, exhaust, reflash and a bunch of other stuff....it really screams.

. I've always wanted to have a daily V8 for quite some time now. There is an incredible amount of torque from down low almost all the way up to redline just like the 335. The exhaust note is throaty enough for my ears but silent when asked.(Maybe an aftermarket exhaust system later) I bought this one with about 56,000 kms on it from it's first owner. I would suggest you go for a test drive to have a better idea of the vehicle. Brakes are excellent, they're more firm and agressive then the 335 ones.
She's a keeper

JJaber, I don't think I'll be modding the car. Tint, aftermarket exhaust system, radar and that's all I want and need. Daily driver not speed demon
.(Already fast enough for me)

I should have gotten a 323i
Thanks Fib!:wink:

Maybe, I could mod it in the future, I just don't see it happening now.No. Originally I was going to order the 335xi and drive my truck. Then we bought an A8 to wait for the bimmer to be delivered. We liked it, kept it. Picked up an M5 after as a DD.

Hope all of them stay in good shape. Congrats

Not like anyone cares but here are a few pics:
Here's my Ocean Mist:

I bought it the day I saw it on Autotrader. Equipped the way I have it, it's 50k in Canada. Last edited by nokiaman; Aug 2, 2008 at 08:52 PM.

Welcome to exile in Oddyville - will probably join the club in a few years after we aclimate to numero uno and add numero dos. Hopefully the next gen will add an AWD option.
congrats on your truck and minivan.
What's the gas milage on that bad ass trunk? Funny thing is, exact same truck drove by me today, and got me think how bad the gas milage on that thing would be.

That's a hell of a deal though

I want to replace them with the MDX Sport wheels but again it's my wife who will be driving it so modding a van seems silly for her. The deal was pretty good. Now I know to buy at the last day of the month.

I traded in the A8!
I still have my M5 if I need the power.
