Default Traded in the wagon this weekend

As the title said, I'm swapping the wagon for an Audi SQ5 this weekend. Tough decision for me as the wagon provided much fun for me the past 4+ years and countless looks when someone realized they just got smoked by a wagon. I have nothing but positive things to say about the E61 platform but I felt is time to move on to mod something else. Why not a SUV? The SQ5 share the same motor with the S4/S5 paired with ZF 8 speed transmission. Pretty fun to drive. I already found more lowering options for the SQ5 than the E61. Let the modding begin.

I will be posting in the FS section later this week with parts taken off from my E61.
KW v3, RD f/r sway bars, COBB, Style 128 19" wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, Rogue Engineering spacers 12mm/15mm, ECS tuning stud kit conversion with black aluminum lug nuts, BMW M Performance Gloss Black kidney grills, BMW cross bars, 2x BMW bike racks, BMW all season mats f/r and trunk.
