I think i prefer your new alloys to your old ones. I was browsing Autotrader the other day, and noticed this car which I thought looked great - only realised after that it has some 20", obviously replica S5 style alloys. I like them, that extra inch makes a difference.

Is this to stop the gearbox lag I've read so much about?

Good to hear they sound decent. Is it just the 3 dashboard speakers that you changed? How much did they set you back?

That was quick, be interesting to see what you think of them. Red is my first preference for the seats, I think they look great, although I would take one of the other colours if the rest of the car was the spec I wanted.

Just thought I would share this in case anyone is interested. A guy on a different forum has changed the dash speakers of the standard sound system, which apparently gives good results for little work and cost. If i see a non-B&O car come up with the rest of the spec i wanted, this could be an...

I didn't even know you could get proper gearbox remaps. Has anyone had one done?

Interesting that some people say B&o is a must, and some say they can't tell the difference between the standard system. If there was no difference it gives a much wider selection of cars - I would like the pano roof, but rarer with the other options, and I've read about them creaking. I would...

Thanks for the reply. I'm coming from a f31 335i - manual. I've only ever had one auto, and didn't really get on with it, that's one of the main sticking points for me. I do think I'm getting lazier in my old age though so might suit me more now. Flat bottom steering wheel looks really good...

I'm currently considering moving to a B9 S5 sportback. Pretty quiet on this forum, so as I go digging into older posts a lot of the comments on the S5 are negative - rattles, gearbox lag, soft paint etc. It would be good to hear if people actually like living with S5. I can't go and drive one...
