The B5 replaces (the red one):




At any rate, hello everyone! Alot of members on here already know me in person so...shout out to them for finally convincing me to get into an Audi. Loving every second of it so far!

Welcome, Gumby!

I like your B5, although yours(like mine) will look much better without the snow.


I'm not up on my earlier BMW's....is your red one from the mid-1990's?

Nice! Unfortunately, exactly the opposite switch to what I did - my B5 got wrecked and I ended up replacing it with an E34 (1990 525i). I've never hated any car as much as I hate my E34, may it burn in hell.

Anyway, welcome aboard!

It's a 1995. This 5 series was one of the last of the BMWs with the 4 headlight design and the reverse, forward-opening hood. Timeless design!

Have your browsed the e34 subforum on bimmerforums yet? Those guys might be able to help you hate your e34 a little less than you do, I hope! They're a very, extremely knowledgeable group in there. One of the most comprehensive chassis-specific automotive subforums I've ever seen!


@Jeremy: Sorry I didn't get back to your text on Monday dude! I was out in Windsor with no service. We def need to set up a date&time to have you look this thing over and tell me when she needs, and what she wants

@Yu: change your Avatar nao! I wanna see some B8 action goin' on. If you wanna borrow a pic from the few times I've have a chance to shoot your car [with your own DSL-R] let me know

Is there a place in this country where it is not snowing still?
