001Buster, how do you manage to inject inane Audi comments into every thread-----I'd say that having to bring up "Audi this and Audi that--blah blah blah" every time BMW is mentioned "reeks of insecurity". The original touring variant of the M5 came out the exact same time as, if not before, the original S6 wagon in the early-mid 90's, so this vehicle has NOTHING to do with your runner-up of a favorite brand.

People must absolutely hate talking to you in person-----I imagine it's impossible to converse with you without you making some completely irrelevant comment about Audi. "Hey 001Buster, how you doing? Nice Weather we're having today huh?" "Why yes it is nice weather, and speaking of weather, did you know that Audi's Quattro system excels in the wet?"
