My uncle used to have a 2008 X5 3.0SD (X5 xDrive40d, as they're now called), truly great car, and yours, which is a facelift with the M-Sport Package must be even better. Color looks very nice as well. What are you getting instead, if I may ask?

Hi Macrazy, Yes I am very happy with the X5 Msport. I have had many different vehicles and the seating in this with the Multi Contour and everything is probably the most comfortable I have had. The X5 only gets out when we go on trips or a little on the weekend so after a year I am going to send it off. I have set up with my local dealer for the new Facelift R8 V10 Plus. I will hopefully take delivery by April or May. They say we should see the new model here in Germany by December but I never will count on it being as early as they say. Plus I am happy to take delivery after winter!
I see! I agree, no point in taking delivery during the snowy and cold winter. I'm sure you will be just as pleased, if not more, with the R8 V10 Plus! It's a very different concept but it will offer you incredible performance and driving pleasure, I imagine. As far as I'm concerned it's rumored to be Audis fastest accelerating car in their current line-up, with a 0-62 time of 3.5 seconds.(S-tronic). I.e, even faster than the more expensive R8 GT, and the RS6. Speaking of which, have you ordered the manual gearbox or S-tronic? Decided on color?
Good luck, look forward to seeing pictures of the beast once it arrives! 
Haha, this was actually taken in the parking lot of a car wash, just got back from burning man where everything gets covered in dust.
Haven't seen any of these, so I'll play along. 1996 Ram 2500 with a 12 valve Cummins. Stock and slow, but someday when I have money to build a tranny for it that will change. This pic was from the ad when I bought it. It has a few extra dents and some more rust now. I'm in the process of building a front bumper for it.
I would like to find a parts truck someday and paint it and swap the body.
Previous vehicle was a 2000 Mustang GT. Love Mustangs, not a fan of the 4.6.
Also have a '66 Mustang sitting in my parents garage sandblasted waiting to be put back together.... one of these days.

I love the S4's, especially black and white. Did you get the manual? I gather you live near Pasadena based on the fact that you bought it from Rusnak, or do they have multiple dealers? I've taken my car in for service at the Pasadena location before.
Yup, I went with the 6MT & sport diff. I do live close to Pasadena and picked the car up there. They do have a few other dealerships in socal, including another Audi location in Westlake Village
Sounds perfect, probably exactly how I'd order it. I've driven a S4 before, and I think it's really engaging as a driver's car, and the anti-slip was a great choice as well. If I buy another sports oriented sedan, I'm not sure whether I'd go for the A4/S4 or one of BMW's offerings. I was just curious about the dealer because I used to live in La Canada, until I moved here about 5 years ago.
Very cool. She had a little cruise through La Canada on Thursday on her way to Angeles Crest for a trip through some twisties. The pics were actually taken up there.
I'll play. Cooper S. The most fun car the wife and I have ever owned.
Long gone now but we still miss the drive around the country lanes. View attachment 358237

I like what it's sharing its room with!
How is it so far, though? Is it AWD? Does it have myford touch and the foot tailgate thingy?
Nice car Lobeyone!
Mine's an '89 Mini Thirty - Just got it restored to it's former glory. Get a Mini again, you won't regret it (and no fancy BMW's please)!
