Just in case any of you guys fancied an upgrade or change my Fully Loaded B7 Avant is for sale at a very reasonable £28,999 see classifieds for more details.

Good luck with the sale mate
But who said a b7 was an upgrade

I guess I should have expected that!!

Give you a tenner plus mine for it? Fairdeal?

It depends has yours got a boot full of gold bullion?

No, it's make the stated output on the RR though

Thats funny seem to recall 380 which seems to be std power but yours is mapped???? And no it wasnt in limp mode as you reckoned as they make bugger all boost in genuine limp mode!! B5s are more hassle keeping them on power than b7s by a long stretch!

power isnt everything

otherwise im sure a muppet could put a V8 into a mini metro...

its about complete package, out of the box

Get your facts right mate it made 399bhp at SRR and had EGT2 duff and was running 308 g/s on VAG com, it's back up to 350g/s now and running pucka. So even a limp mode B5 makes more than a healthy running B7....

all hail to the mighty B5

Same name, very different cars. Both great.

As stated, its not all about figures or actual power.

Its about the driving experience and the overall package, and as much as the B5 was great back in the day, you have to come to terms with the fact that it has now been superceded by a much more refined package - the B7.

And no de-cat/downpipe/coils/remap will change that fact

Agree with that, a superceded product tends to be more refined and different which does not always equate to better e.g. a 996 Porsche over a 993 version, the E36M3 over the E30 M3 are obvious examples.

I would entertain having a B5 in addition to the B7, as some have.

If there was a B8 RS4, that would be too similar to the B7 IMO.

saw a B5 on my way home from work...first time in years!

stilll amazing cars...

but my V8 non res milltek on the country roads....mmmm even if i only had 28bhp, the sound is epic !

both are great cars il have the b7 for the week and the b5 for the weekend
