Introducing my big, old, fast, dog barge... Saab 9-5 AERO

Car looks good, dog is lovely as well.

Superb cars. I miss mine. Increasing oil consumption became a bit of a concern, just beware that that gutsy turbo does use a bit. I hear you like the wheels, but the later 9-3-esque Aero wheels can be picked up off eBay very cheaply and transform the look of the car into something far more modern in my opinion.

I still search frequently for a face lift 260bhp Aero estate manual, alas finding a decent one at sensible money is an impossibility. Anyway, enjoy!

Just did a quick google of 9-3 aero alloys (brings up quite a few different types) but I think I've sussed out which ones are which. I think I'd agree with you and I'm sure they'd look great on my estate. However there is something cool about the pre-facelift 9-5 aero wheels. I can't quite put my finger on it but they are definitely quirky.

Looks stunning in that colour with the hammerheads.I just bought another Im on my 3rd but this one is manual and like yours has Harman Kardon with 95k so just run in

Any excuse to share a pic.

Some recent pictures after an 8 hour detail this week .

Bodywork washed, de-tarred, de-ironised, clayed with clay mitt, machine polished, protected werkstat prime, 2 layers of werkstat jett, final layer of werkstat gloss. Black plastics protected with aerospace 303. Glass sealed with werkstat prime. Wheels cleaned with megs wheel brightener and tyres dressed with AF tyre gel. Exhaust tip quickly polished with britemax metal polish/sealant.

By the way, I'm in the market for an E39 BMW 540i sport touring if anyone knows anyone with one who wants to sell. I need to own a V8 .
