2 things

[tool fan]

1st, I am assuming that the M5 has been released seeming how I was passed by one at a high rate of speed last friday. Yes the M60 version, I was travelling at about 125-130 mph and I was "flashed" as I was in the "fast" lane so I moved over and he had to be going at least 150+ Smoked me like I was not even moving. Jet black, all the way around to include the rims and it said M5 on the back, for that is really all I got see of it. I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!


2nd, I went to the local Audi dealership to scope the new A6......I wonder if I made the right choice in cars. I LOVE my 530i, but that new Audi A6 is SOOOOOOOO beautiful. I took it for a spin and the power was awsome maybe it was the Quattro but it takes off like a rocket. I HATED the old A6 style, the new one is so fresh. Thinkin' of trading in...........what do y'all think?

i like audi's style too, but i have heard they are like volkswagons....break down not a lot, but often... stupid little things (ie power window motors, buttons, switches etc.).

the new A6 is a real blast. i love it so much, oh and yes i bet it was the quattro that had this impact on you

but a trade would mean a more than just certain loss of money so you better sharpen the pencil before doing anything crazy.

 

[Wadula]

oh, and i think the new M5 will only come at the end of the year. so may be you saw a test run!

I hate to say it, but I'd go with the A6. I just REALLY dislike (to put it kindly) the new BMW designs. I wish I could say stick with the BMW, but with a car that ugly it's hard to stick up for it. Plus, the A6 is really cool looking, I think. However, I would have to say you should look for a REALLY nice e39 540i. It is such a great car and possibly the best looking BMW of all times. Plus, if you're thinking of buying a new A6 you could probably afford to get a pristine e39 and Dinan supercharge it. With that kind of machine you'd own the roads.

Of course if I really had the money I'd get a black/black 6spd 850CSi, but that's just me.

I thought the A3 ran between Frankfurt and Wurzburg?? You really must have the Audi A6 on your mind! Going to test drive a 545 in Kitzingen and was looking for a stretch of Autobahn to open up on. Guess I found it! Maybe I can get "flashed" too.

ultraplanet, you´re right. the A6 is a parallel to the A3, just a little more south. it connects Heidelberg and Nürnberg.

Köstritzer?

U R correct I must have the A6 on my mind, it is A3 ( I should know that, I make the drive from Wiesbaden to Bamberg 2 times a week) Thanks for keeping me honest

Köstritzer?

Schwarzbier - My favorite German Beer so far!

 

[Wadula]

dude, see my location.

i jus wonder how köstritzer can be known in the south as it comes from the former DDR and is not that often seen if you´re not in the eastern regions of germany.

 

[ultraplanet]

Real Getränkmarkt - "get drinkin' market" - German beer heaven! I can't even imagine drinking another Coors Light.

How did you know I was in the south? Did you see my post asking about tire stores in Stuttgart? Any ideas where to shop for tires and wheels on the economy?
