I am a big fan of that 335 bmw engine.. its just a dream!!

is that the diesel or petrol?? my mums got the twin turbo tdi 3 series 2 door, looks mean 19" alloys and angel eye light, i think its like 300/350bhp standard or somthing.  :evil:

Petrol version to 380bhp.

The diesel is 282bhp and....wait for it....428lb/ft .......and can tune to 330bhp+ and 466lb/ft :shocked:

NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!! :grin: :grin: I know i have said that I would like to get a HPA365 and stuff but for the cost it might just be better to pick up one of them little babies! that is just an awsome amount of power... and the coupe is a lovelly car to drive, so well balanced, and stuck together well too. Isnt much more you could ask for from a coupe really!! (except 4wd of course) :grin: :grin:

I hate to say it.. but it just doesnt appeal to me!! Its almost like they plugged an A6 and a coupe formula into a computer and out came the design for the S5. it just exactly what you would expect a A6 coupe to look like... does anyone else not think this??? Im sure its a great car... but just not for me. I think BMW do a S5 equivalent anyway... known in familar circles as the M3 :evil: (but to be honest i dont really like the look of this either) The norm 335 petrol is subtle yet a monster underneath :grin:

....I agree with R32UK - The A5/S5 looks like a barge! I've seen plenty both here and in Germany. They are undoubtedly a good car but look gross in real life in my opinion. A wasted design opportunity.

Exactly!! and whats with the led crap on the front... its a bloody grown ups car not a 5yr old design guru with stick on lights work!! A baby version of the r8 would have wiped the floor.. but again like red said.. a wasted opportunity :undecided:

....I really like those LED Daylight Driving Lights. They work really well at high speed to warn you of a fast approach without blinding you or making it more difficult to judge the distance.

I agree I think they look great , but would need to be part of the oem sidelights rather than add ons imho
