Nice!

Got any pics - would love to see it!

Mate of mine doesn't know what to her some maybe you could advise on that. Around £15k budget and was thinking about an A3 black edition or maybe a 3 series.

Trouble with an A3 - you'll struggle to lose the police

hi everyone i have driven audi a8 4.0 tdi and driven a bmw 535d remapped and a bmw 730d i would like to say the audi was more fun to drive and had more toys it is a gentleman's car

bmw 730d was more comfortable but was slugish

bmw 535d 0-60 5.6
audi a8 4.0 tdi 0-60 6.3

i drive an audi a8 4.2 tdi remapped 0-60 4.2

the car is extremely fast and i have lost police in this car

also the car really does make an entrance because my brother had used this vehicle to go to fights which really scares the person he is going to fight because it is a mafia car and it has been seen in Transporter.

so i would say think about audi a8, mercedes s500 or if your a bmw person i would recommend a bmw 535d or an bmw m5

I see they have fixed the wifi in the day room.

Get the A8 stonking 4.2 V8 TDI you won't go wrong great engine note if you have a play with the exhaust, 321bhp nigh on 400bhp with a re map.

I'd choose the Audi it's in a different league when it comes to the interior.

The 7 Series the OP is considering will be around the same size so if that's what he wants to use as a daily that's his choice I just gave my opinion on the cars listed.

That it is, you've just got to be good at parking

A8 D3 is an awesome bit of kit.

[Wills2]

So if I'm going to a fight and I really wanted to scare the other guy (scare him off because I'd rather I didn't have to actually fight) what would you recommend?

Clearly the Audi might give him the heebeegeebees but he might still hang around and I really would want him to do one before the fight...

[porschekiller]

Sorry people, don't worry i will try to post more in future, but you see i got a busy life. You know buissness. Anyway willis2 make sure you have a baseball bat in your boot and try to come with more lads.

His brother is the Transporter XD hahahaha

I love the fact a remap has got the 0-60 down from 5.9 seconds to 4.3 seconds.

The 5.2 litre V10 S8 of the same gen which has 450bhp takes 5.2 seconds, so the remap must have put his 4.2tdi up to around 600bhp.
