OMG! I love the B5 touring already! The leather inside is

That Congac and Ivory combo is a ?6000 option, but worth every penny I reckon!

I don't like it that much. Maybe because i like more the sedan then the touring. At every car. I do addmit that a touring is more practical and more spacious but that's all. In the end you do get kinda half a car. And an m5 in a touring suit it's a total nono for me

PS: The leather on the b5 is astonishing. Trully is.

Exclusive leather is ?2300 and the extended leather is ?3000, however the bi-colour lavalina leather that is in the pics above is ?6000+vat.
Steve (stefan1 on the m5board) has it in his new car, and here asre some pics of his saloon...

HaHa, me neither! If I could afford a B5 and the running costs that go with it then I would make sure I got that bi-colour leather in as well, if I am going to make my self skint I may as well do it with a little bit of luxury round me!

I am loving the DMS 535d thanks, superb car, does everything I need and more, and with 30mpg. So glad I went for this over an S4 avant, I was only getting 16mpg out of the S4 I borrowed, and ?450 a month with the diesel is enough in fuel, ?900 would have made me cry and I just would not have enjoyed the car properly.

i dont see the logic behind a super dupper wagon. I thought people want a wagan to cruise with the family and also..good for the winter.

It is the fact it is stealth, and the fact it doesn't look like a salesmans car.
