Hi All,

Crikey, that was a search and half, good to see this site has started up after the demise of X5drivers.

Cheers

Tom :driving:

[quote=""535dboy""]What's with the RSs then?[/quote]

535dboy - were you asking, why I made the coment? If so, I read Tombs other post:

[quote=""tombs""]Crikey, that was a search and half, good to see this site has started up after the demise of X5drivers.
I sold my X5 4.4 to Alfamale on here earlier last year and since then have missed it. I sold my RS6 at the end of last year as it just sat on my drive 95% of the time and with another little one on the way my wife has agreed we need to upgrade to a bigger car so the A3 is going! My better half suggested we look at the X5 as we will be carting around a new Baby Thomas (as from October!) my little girl (7, going on 27!) and of course the two of us. My wife will use the car for work into Earlsfield (5 miles) and I on the odd trip out through work or Holidays and visits to friends.

I was/am a huge Audi fan but I did love the X5. Just not sure where to start! 3.0d seems like a sensible option re fuel but I do love the sound and grunt of a V8. Anyone on here have a similar family setup and can shed some light on space etc.. Anyone got any opnions or views?

Cheers

I saw an RS4 today and the burbling telltale sound was amazing, even at a crawling pace! I heard they were M3 beaters, (TopGear I think) but they just look so muscular in their stance (if that makes sense). Not sure what they are like to live with as an everyday car though... :scratchhead:

I'm not looking but a friend of the family recently bought an M3 CSL - rare beast and they are also said to sound awsome. Think both are similar money even if the CSL is older. Both on my wish list (come on you numbers)!

Confused about where the rest of the detail of that thread is !?!?

I was asking Tom about the RSs.

I want a new RS4 but it hasn't been announced yet

No I did, hence thinking the other way round... He didn't see that other thread.

I'll shut up now.
