Greeney is right and here is the link to the different colours though not all are S5s as in Europe not all the colour options are available for this car. Anyway here you go.

Hope it helps with your decision.


Here's brown though not the proper S5 saddle brown.

That is probably the best S5 picture i've seen. Black is definately the way to go.

White is spectacular on this car, I saw an Ibis White/Tuscan brown that was amazing.

Yep Ibis is nice. What about Sprint Blue? I posted it in the wrong section but go here:

In the US there aren't currently any Sprint Blue orders, so if he wanted that he would have to wait until June or July.

UltimateBMW,

Don't you go and get all misty eyed on us now.

What will the rest of your hardcore red-necks not think of you.

It is from H&R. I can't read those stickers. I would want it to look like that though. I need to find one on the ground to at least sit in and such. My last black car was an 87 528. It was a knock out until the sun shined on it the wrong way. I am a detailing nut so it would be OK for me to keep the paint right. Lowering it like this may be in order. H&R's spring kit is said to lower by 35 mm's and they have TRAK+ aluminum spacers. I think this pic is legit. Notice the paw prints by the door handle...

The car seems to be riding about 15mm lower than standard, that's basing it on mine, the car does settle a bit on run-in. The wheels do look to be slightly farther out, again I would guess a 5mm spacer, maybe 10mm but no more.

As for the rest it identical to mine.

Well apart from mine is covered in dirt (roads are bad at this time of the year).
