considering trading in my X5 against this, what do you all think? All ready discussed a supercharger kit for it so if I buy it it will be straight off for mocking up. Never drove one either so will need to pop to a local dealer for a drive

X5 or RS5? If you don't need the back doors / load space of the X5 it's a no brainier to me. That's a nice colour and spec! Shame no fla bottomed wheel though although it's an easy swap should you want one.

I've got an e70 X5 I'm looking to offload. Great car with the dms remap and I've got quite a high spec on it but this particular RS5 has really caught my eye. I'm in talks with the dealer just now regarding a trade in price for the jeep. Also going to see a member on here's rs6 c6 tomorrow

Cheers for the input Dave, I'm awaiting the dealer phoning me back. It's this or a porker, the gtr wasn't that great
