Dying to hear what the confirmed colour is. Definitely looks like Sprint Blue, but to be honest i've just looked at photos of my B7 & it kind of looks brighter on the RS4. Photos below.Kevvo2506 wrote:Hmmm
Ok maybe I better check the colour sticker lol. Actually, looking at that sticker, where your one has the paint code mine just has --/-- maybe it's all a figment of my imagination and it's just in primer?! Lol
Re the M5, mine was a 14my too and I rejected mine too. Constantly telling me there was a drive train fault I seem to recall. Was a nightmare. BMW had it in for 2 weeks to fix it (for about the 5th time) and it literally broke down again driving home. I had already gone nuts at them before picking it up, so that was final straw and I set my PA on them!
Shame, when it worked was a hoot to drive and devil quick. I had a 14my e63 amg after that when they just released to twin turbo one. Interior was pretty boring and it had too much power for the car. Think I sold that one with 700 miles on the clock. (Mind you, sold my carrera s with 360 miles on it, just didn't get on with it!)
As regards the F10 M5, you must be more patient than me as i told them after the 1st breakdown & fix that if it did it again they were having it back. Reasoning behind that was more dealer fault than car as i just knew they'd not diagnosed the problem & thus not fixed it correctly so i warned them & a couple of weeks later it did it again. As you say i too got a drivetrain error & the car basically went into it's most severe variant of limp mode (not fun). BMW although not great with their communication updates looked after me extremely well, they accepted the rejection immediately (never rejected a car before), put me in a £75k X5 for a few weeks while they built me new M5, gave me about £3k of options FOC & themselves had to subsidise the new deal by about £8k to bring it in line with the original deal i'd secured the year before. Can't fault the service & the MY15 car appears 100% solid (famous last words) with 0 problems in the 14mths i've owned her.
Heard on the grapevine that the 'actual' fault was a bad batch of fuel lines that had contaminants. BMW swapped manufacturer & i've not heard of any injector related faults on cars since then so appears it was right.
Enjoy the RS.
