my pet e60 just came back from BMW, i thrashed it when it was cold and the sb must have
fried some electronics, it couldn't change up a gear when the needle hit red,there was a volatile idle and it died when you stopped still.

the problem was traced to faulty VANOs sensors, Simpson maybe that is your problem??

oil was black from the K&N (the trade off for the fun) and had that changed as well

the problem is fixed and its perfect again.

OMG this will be my next car in 3 years time, it is so sexy.
I might give the the F10 a miss if it is ugly.

style is so so and the leather is less attractive then in the CC, a bit tarty
stick with BMW, get the fake gator leather!!
hey Capt evil, how about getting your new LCI trim done in red stingray skin???
that would be so HOT compared to the common cf!!!

audi gives your four doors but the back seat is like those in airport transit bus, the one sitting behind will keep complaining.

Isn't there a S4 for this already? why make a S5 sport back to shoot themselves in their own feet?

S5 is out to compete with 335 coupe, S4 is to compete with 335 sedan....so what's the S5 sportback to compete with? A 4 seater S4? Strange....
