F10/11 D5 had VDC dampers as standard. Adaptive Drive optional (adds active roll bars).

F10/11 B5 had VDC & Adaptive Drive as standard.

I think Integral Active Steering was optional on both, but I’m not sure.

The LHD only D5S touring actually a triple turbo making 408 hp and 800nm - same torque as the B5 - the saloon only RHD twin turbo makes 347hp and 730nm.

Bear in mind that early D5S (like this example) had 322hp. Later cars moved up to 347hp

Lovely cars - congrats. And the S6 is very Alpina - a stealthy, under the radar wagon with a V8. Most will think it's another S Line A6, which is perfect. Will be interesting to hear your reflections on it with time.

I've had similar experiences with Sytner sadly JCC, so feel your pain.

Totally agree JCC, on both points.

Lovely car. Azurite is a lovely shade - a bit like Carbon black with a rich blue tint to it in bright sun. And love the plate!
Enjoy!

Look forward seeing it at some meets this year Matt.

Has the blue full Merino IIRC - lovely combo

Interesting write up John. Trouble is it's pretty much impossible to know if the analysis that's come back is normal or not. The only way would be know what it's looked like at say 20k miles, then 40k miles and then 60k miles. But there's also a risk of overthinking about these things. Enjoy the car...

Agree with Charles, best to source some 19s.

Congrats Matt! Looks mighty fine with silver wheels and deco. Chrome grilles, or leaving the shadowline version?

How does it compare with your previous F31 D3 & B3?

Hope you're enjoying it.

My insurance also went up this year, but after shopping around the renewal was actually the best option.
I'm with Admiral.

Good evening all. I have just managed to get a G31 B5 Touring and it is on Pirellis. Unfortunately picked up a puncture in a sidewall so will take the opportunity to change to PS4S's. I have read many threads about tyre pressures, but could anyone recommend what pressures the Michelins should run a...

Congrats OP, there is no finer colour than ALPINA green

Hi I have a 2023 (Number 997) B5 and it does not have steering wheel heating. Please, does anyone know if this is available as a retro-fit? Or do I need a new wheel? Thanks in advance. Congrats, that's a lovely car. One of the v last B5 T to come to the UK. Beautiful colour 8) I'm sure this can be ...
