You really can't go wrong...
Hello everyone. First post in this forum. I'm a long time BMW owner thinking of buying a new A5 or S5 but leaning towards the S5. Part self-serving and part something I always enjoyed in the BMW forums is sometimes there is a thread where everyone posts photos of their ride. I always enjoyed looking at the different color combos people choose and what mods they add. So what color did you choose and show off your car?

Welcome to the sight. My wife and I currently have an S4 and an RS5, but also recently two other S5's. We have loved them all and use them with spirit in the mountains surrounding Los Angeles. The Z-rated rubber lasts us about 10K miles, but the fun is addictive. Below are two shots. One of the Grey S5 and Estoril Blue S4 together and also a pic of the new RS5. I have been a BMW owner as well back in the E36 era. The new 335/M4 duo are quite capable. Both marques offer great clubs that are definitely worth joining as they offer discounts, support and fun events. It is my humble opinion that the S5 is worth the extra commitment over the A5… It's not that the 2.0 Liter Turbo is not sufficient as it pulls strongly from the lowest part of the rev range. The challenge is outfitting the car for aggressive driving. The sport suspension on the A5 lacks the S5 brakes and in a previous A4 cabriolet with sport package, we seriously overtaxed the brakes on aggressive mountain drives. So, by the time you do a brake upgrade and also an aftermarket exhaust on an A5, you are close to an S5.

S-Line A5
Here is my 2015 ibis White A5, it has the Competition S-line package, Black Optic, and I have added dual exhaust with the quad-tips, S5 rear valance and some exterior minor changes. Also, the car comes with the aluminum trim brake and gas pedal, like the S5, but I had to add the left foot dead pedal.

black badges/emblems
I swapped out the rings in front and back, and the back RS5 to gloss black to match black optic trim. I got them at audibadges.com. I think it looks good, any comments?

nice look!
I think it looks great with that subtle change... how easy was the front ring swap? I have been going back and forth on doing the same...
