Guys I've picked up so much info on here since taking ownership of my first 6 last year but one thing still beats me, what are the basic differences between a c5 & a c5 plus?

50 bhp unless you find a slightly more modified c5 that will eat a standard plus for breakfast

Appreciate that Amanda but are there any visual differences? Without a dyno reading I have no idea of real bhp figure....

Titan wheels and exhaust tips optics iirc oh and a plaque on the inside giving the number but as always everything was an option and could be changed apart from the plaque ?

It isn't 50bhp difference between a stock C5 and a + C5 that I am aware of. + models always come with the black optic pack from factory I believe. You should find an additional cooling rad behind each intercooler (unless removed for some reason). + models are ONLY estate models. If you could try a + and a normal side by side, you should find that the + has a quicker steering rack fitted too, whether this results in a tighter turning circle or just less overall turns from lock to lock, I don't know.

There is the plaque around the gear selector that is supposed to match the last 3 digits of the VIN too, if someone was sad enough they could fake it I guess but I really don't see why. Not sure if things like solar roof, blinds etc are standard kit but I doubt it. Some of the proper anoraks will be along shortly no doubt

Actually I am sorry standard rs6's have 450!bhp and pluses have 480 ! But as mine isn't standard I get confused being blonde

Use the search tool
And buy a plus, the classiest RS 6

As always top quality info from everyone so thanks for that. Mine has the full blind kit, black optics, drilled disks etc etc but sadly (for this purpose only) it's a beautiful Black saloon so I guess if the + only came as Avant mines a boring(!) 450 bhp 'standard' RS6. Anyone with any history back ground on a 2003 carrying the Reg. LY53 TTF with a Northampton address from Nov 2006 till Nov 2011?

Piccie???

Edit: Ignore me, too slow.

Assuming you have the service book, then just stick all the option codes into the "Option Code finder" spreadsheet (think it's in Footers repository) and you can find out exactly what you have got! (Or at least what it left the factory with!)
