A couple of previous estates:





And the current 530i (seller's pic, really should clean it and take some):



C32 was easily the quickest (and most fragile), WRX the most fun, 530i is too new to say, but I've had a wardrobe and 2 sofas in it so far, not at the same time.

Lot of love for German wagons in here, and some of the crazy bhp figures being quoted have made me realise mine isn't as fast I initially thought hehe

Here's my Saab 9-3 Aero, V6 2.8T remapped to 300bhp. There's further gains to be had by replacing the stock Low Pressure Turbo with a High Pressure one (and related gubbins), but in a FWD car there doesn't seem much point having 400bhp+ when you can't put the power down.

Perhaps I'm biased, but in Aero form I think it's one of the best looking estates ever made (also prefer it to the facelift 9-3 smile)

Some incredible cars on here, best thread for a while.

Here's mine exploring the black mountains, 330bhp

I am getting one of these in a month as the family wheels..How has it been? I will get a stage 1 to 330bhp as well...can't wait!
Best car I've ever owned, a true all rounder. It's as happy lugging dogs and heavy goods as it is blasting round the B roads.

I purchased it around 4 years ago from Torque GT and still can't think of anything I could replace it with. We needed a fast car which could transport people, dogs and luggage easily with ground clearance for mountaineering and this is perfect.

Recently mapped to stage 1 and now it's even better with a few pops

You won't regret your purchase

Edit to add she's been faultless, nothing has broken and she's wanted for nothing bar a set of tyres, brakes all round and a full annual service.

Definitely not as fast as some of the impressive machinery here but certainly not slow (thanks to a few 'go faster' bits!), my old 330d;

Didn’t you blow yours up? Very interested to know the limit of the 2.8 xwd.

Yep frown Never ran right at stage 5, I’m not the only one either, a few jzw cars went pop. I’ll be taking it to one place for everything next time.

Some great cars here.


Noticed that there's not a single RS4 (of any age) in there.

I find that odd.

Very understated

I like that plenty

Why didn’t Audi make a B6 RS4 ? Yet C5/6/7 RS6 exist.

For the first years of quattro GmbH’s existence they only produced one model at a time at Neckarsulm, and so a B6 RS4 would have overlapped with the C5 RS6’s years of manufacture

These days they seem to have geared up and also produce in other plants so multiple new RS models are available on the market simultaneously. The name of the subsidiary has also changed, now being known as Audi Sport GmbH

Christ. I wanted one of those so badly but couldn't afford it. Have you had it since new?
Yes, ordered beginning of August last year after driving the demo saloon that was featured on the Grand Tour

Big delays due to the WLTP emission homologation, was available beginning of February but decided to postpone until 1st March to put on a 19 plate

I was worried you would say that...sytner supplied I assume? Any recommendations on which one/who to deal with?
