    Thinking of moving on but what next?

    Well that’s a sensible reply lol. These forums can be strange places-places to discuss cars last time I checked? Loving the E63S and it’s a better car than the RS6 (which is already a mega car). The red one was an anomaly to me and it’s still unsold down in Cornwall last time I checked...

    Thinking of moving on but what next?

    Just to bring this thread up to date-the 5 went and whilst it was a brilliant car it was just missing aggression and rawness which is down the individual choice. In the end went back to a C7 RS6 and back in familiar territory. Couple of issues though-it felt very dated in the cabin but makes up...

    RS5 B9 vs B9.5

    The B9 was an excellent car-handled better than I thought and closer to my old M3 Comp than I expected which was a brilliant car. Audi did a great job on the 5. The sound is a common one for owners to find fault with and the non res Milltek is a good solution. The weak link in the chain was me-I...

    RS5 B9 vs B9.5

    I had the B9 and whilst it was a fantastic motor the sound was sorely lacking and it wasn’t ‘raw’ enough for my liking. Even a Milltek non Res and a trip to DMS wasn’t enough so I sold it earlier this year (if I had held onto it I would have made a lot more money in the current climate but...

    Thinking of moving on but what next?

    Having slept on it the smartest choice will be to just sell the car and put money aside for the next one. Later in the year we may actually be able to drive around and I have the Defender in the meantime and I love that to bits. The RS mainly sits there unused which is a shame. Hate selling cars...

    Thinking of moving on but what next?

    R8 is a consideration for sure but they are pretty dated at the price point I'd be looking at and I really like the tech of items such as matrix LED's, HUD etc which arent an option on the older R8. Need something aggressive but also something thats comfortable enough for longer drives, much as...

    Thinking of moving on but what next?

    Almost coming up to a year with the RS5 and while I love it to bits...it's just still too smooth for my liking. I've had some really aggressive motors in my time and have loved them all (apart from an A45 AMG which was the worst mistake). It's a very complete car and ticks most of the boxes...

    RS5 vs S5

    Seeing as you hardly see any new S5/S6/7 on the roads you could benefit from having exclusivity. That also works against you as they are plainly not selling in volume for a variety of reasons. For me it would be it’s slower than the outgoing (and against all other competitors) plus the whole...

    Winter Tyres for B9 RS5

    It’s Winter Tyre Time coming up it looks like and after a trawl for the 5 the options seem to be (I’m on 20’’ rims 275/30): Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D Conti Winter Contact TS850P Pirelli Winter 270 Sottozero Series 2 Hankook W320 Evo 2 Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 Any...

    Time to get back in an RS5

    For me the sound was just not in line with what the RS5 is- a performance halo model. It’s a very capable car on a challenging road (closer to my M3 Comp than I expected) and covers a lot of bases. It’s a bit too smooth for my liking and not as aggressive enough and the Milltek ticks the noise...

    Time to get back in an RS5

    You must have got a killer APR rate for that. God effort. If you see my post on the Milltek the details are in there. Way I see it there are only a few options for the exhaust-cut up job via PCW (or similar), custom build or got to Milltek/Remus etc. AWE doe a good one but US based. Non res is...

    Time to get back in an RS5

    Nice deal! Must have put quite a large deposit in though to get payments that low. I’m paying over £200 more for mine with £3k down. Far superior car to the 240i-just get ready to sort the noise out as it’s pretty weak in that regard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Time to get back in an RS5

    Bear in mind Nardo is the bog standard no cost option colour wise. Lot to be said buying from a main dealer-you buy that assurance plus there are always dodgy ones out there. When I had my Milltek fitted the otter remarked how clean the underside of mine was-compared to a guy I know who had his...

    Time to get back in an RS5

    Nice colour, you can usually tell most of the spec by looking for the ‘tell tales’ on the photos (eg the HUD adjusting knob next to the main headlight switch etc) High mileage though. Don’t discount the main Audi website as that’s where I found mine. £49,995 and 11,800 on the clock on a Jan 2018...

    Time to get back in an RS5

    Mine is almost fully loaded and is a 2018 model. Cost me just under £50k from main dealer back in March. To me the must haves are: Pano Roof Comfort & Sound Pack HUD Sports exhaust (although mine now has a Milltek on) Black optics pack Carbon interior Wireless charging DRC Red brake callipers...

    Milltek Non Res Race exhaust fitted

    After 1 failed order and a lengthy wait (3 months which was frustrating) finally got the Milltek through and fitted. I used TSR Performance in Cornwall Who will ship it anywhere in the UK as part of the price. It comes in two massive boxes so shipping to the fitter is the best option...

    B9 RS5 owner new to forum

    I had the same issue with the manual but mine came with a hardback one so haven’t taken it further. The A button is to disable the auto stop/start. Has the speed scared you yet? First time I took it down a favourite back road I did a fast Overtake on a straight and my ar5e dropped out...

    Hi Howard, congrats on the purchase am Sure you’ll love it-mine continues to impress me every time I drive it. Lots of hidden talents these cars. The biggest gripe is still noise. The engine and exhaust just don’t really cut it am afraid. It’s all far too smooth for its own good! Exhaust options...
