Audi have to lower there price now lol and they only have 2.8 engines for the new A6 :thumbsdown:
BUT need to see what the spec is, as long as it got the sport mode and the 8 speed gearbox, I am happy
when will it be on sale and test drive the car.
FJ, get it. It is best for market available.
I m sure it has sport mode. The only difference is added ECO mode which is to save gas.
Make a test drive and you will note it.

Thnk it has sport+, but why would u care, u will put in an sb for sure. The paper said 2l 180+bhp engine, could it be a mistake and is it supposed to be a 1.6? 180 hp for a 2l tc engine is not something to write home about.

453k is with out sunroof.
47xk is with sunroof
free rear parking camera.
it has sport mode and 8 speed and I booked for a test drive next month when it arrives.
They only have 1 car in HK and it is only for magazines and not for the public yet.
Never understand sunroof for hk. It just makes the inside hotter and the peoples skin more tanned, what u get in rtn is view to some concrete buildings.

sb and sport mode is not the same as you know.
It is not the sport mode on the gear stick that I am talking about, it is the sport mode also known as Driving Dynamic Control with a button.
1. The engine more responsive and the suspension stiffer when sport is pressed.
2. Reduction in powered assistance for the steering at low and medium RPMs
3. Shortens gearshift times
I tested this when it came out for the F10 528 and loved it and now it is standard in the 520i

You know me I love open top cars.
if you what to sell the car privet and not let BMW ripe you off for trading it in, then it is much easy-er to sell with a Sunroof than with out.
99% of ppl what Sunroof even they don't use it but for me I use about 70% of the time in a year. The only time I close it is in Summer which is only for about 4 months.

It's the entry level 5 series, so the fuel consumption is a highlight from the potential buyers.

seems to me hk car importers were successful to create the impression that sunroof means more and better. the consumers just followed bcos the sales guy told them it would fetch higher 2nd hand price. so typical.
