Any other interesting rides at home?

Post by Imola_Sid » Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:15 pm

Inspired after seeing C5RS6ABT's epic fleet, thought i'd post this thread.

Not sure if it's been done before but thought i'd start a thread to see what other cars people have.

At the moment, in my family we have the C5 RS6, E39 M5, 635csi, E36 328i, Seat Leon and a Lupo.

My RS6:

I've just sourced some MTM Bimoto wheels, and was umming and ahhing - but your picture has pushed me off the fence. I reckon they'd look sweet on my car. Watch this space.
I love the E39 M5 and the 635CSI. Ever raced the M5?

Very interesting. I'm thinking of getting one of those. What are they like to live with?

they're not too bad,you can virtually build one from the parts and upgrades that are available,there are plenty of parts suppliers over here or its just as easy to import although you do get stung for import duty vat etc.fuel is not much worse than an rs to be honest obviously nowhere near the performance.downside is its an old car steerings a bit dodgy and its not very comfy but i wouldn't be without it.

Is yours manual or auto? I've seen a few with the 4 speed manual boxes.

Its a 3 speed auto.its probably the one thing i would change if i could afford it.you can get the 4 speed manuals wich are more desirable if i'm honest and there is a tremec 5 speed conversion available too.

Hope they're not all bent like happened to someone on here. Got any comeback if they turn out to be oval?

The seller is selling as 'sold as seen' as they have been stored in his garage for a while. They come with 4x tyre pressure monitors that all worked when last on his car, and the alloys were fine when on his car too. There isn't really an easy way of checking if they're bent unless I put them on is there?
He only wants £400 though, so I reckon they're worth the gamble? Although I will need to spend another £300 on a refurb and then some new tyres.

Hedgehog - I'm liking that a lot.

Amar, not properly raced them. TBH there won't much in it. The RS6 is a lot easier to put the power down in a straight line, whereas the M5 handles great. On a track, i think the M would win hands down, but we haven't taken either to a track day yet :(

The BMW is a much nicer place to be. The interior, small things like the buttons, extended leather etc make it a lot nicer inside.

I'd find it really hard to pick between the 2. The RS6 would probably be first choice purely for the boost (a completely different sensation) and the rareness scores it some extra points.

Glad he's got the M5 though! Can get a bit of rwd fun when i'm bored :)

Is the CSi auto or manual box?

Very nice car. I was 'very' close of purchasing an M6 (or 635M - anyways with an M-engine) a couple of years back. Still kick myself that I didn't buy it...
