After 7 yrs of Zed ownership 5 of which was with a zm
It’s time to move on unfortunately :cry:
I need 4 seats & It has to be a convertible, so what’s everyone’s opinion on a RS5 or a M4, would be grateful if anyone has driven, owned either of these convertibles could tell me what’s its like living with one. Looking at 2 at the moment both 14 plates.
Cheers

I got myself an Audi S5 cab after having an E89 and E85 and love it. Had it 1.5 years now. Extremely quick, very refined and looks great. It’s a 13 plate and even has google earth as the sat nav (needs a SIM card to work) and loads more other toys that make it a great car. There is only 0.4 second difference in 0-60 between RS5 cab and S5 and the S5 will be £10k cheaper than the RS5 and I’m pretty sure running costs for the S5 will be much cheaper too. Maybe worth a look?
BMW E89 3.5i M Sport manual, loving it….
Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..
BMW E85 3.0 Auto, sadly missed (twice)

4 adult seats or would a 2 + 2 work?

911, Evora, GTR...

Best looking 4 seat convertible in that range is the C63s Convertible...looks lovely in black, roof up or down. A friend has one and it's a cracking car, makes a great noise as well.
