I got a new euro too, an E90 335i to replace the 330i. Pretty quick for a standard grandpa spec. Unfortunately, can't get you a pic because she's already in the shop and broken. Good thing I got a warranty. 6 years and 50,000 k's with the 330i and never had the need for a towie. 3 weeks and 300 k's with the 335i and its already seen the back of a truck! Edit: forgotten I'd already announced the new wheels. Ignore my excitement driven duplication. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455588-share-your-euro/page/11/#findComment-7974556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handles pretty damn good for what it is but there's no getting away from the fact it's an almost 2 ton SUV. I'll report back once I've driven it more, will be getting registered at the end of next week. Was great driving past probably 50 speed cameras without number plates. Thank you unregistered vehicle permit. What's been a stand out so far with this car is how it just effortlessly piles on bulk speed.

I've got the exact same car as my daily... mine's the black edition. Changed the grille, wheel spacers, added a kufatek exhaust controller and small trim pieces that I modded. It's a super fun car to drive, and I'm looking to replace it as my noveted lease has come to an end, but honestly I'm struggling to find another car that's as fun, carries 2 baby seats and is as much bang for buck as it.

funkymonkey Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 2015 MY16 model, 85000km on it now. So far so good. Had it for 5 years. No major faults, think the only thing that ever popped up was an intermittent fault in the headlight caused by a bulb that was blown lol. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455588-share-your-euro/page/11/#findComment-7974790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I want the Caractere kit out of Belgium, but no distributors for it here in oz https://www.caractere.com/products/audi/audi-q5-2013-8r2/ You know it'll be a good fit cos they have different versions of the bumpers for the different factory options.

Not so bad, the new ones are a lot quieter then the older ones, (guess could always do a res delete) lol I can’t believe how fast it is for a little 4 banger, and interior is a very nice place to be.
