flyfishing31568908306 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 thanks everybody for the comments. the car is a real head turner. i always thought the suspension on my 04 R was fine but after driving the saffron you can really feel the refinement with the 4c.jim,the tranny was flushed at 70k so i have a little clearance yet, but it will get done soon. depending on funds may actually get a tranny cooler. anybody have a R steering wheel laying around. meteors are on the car=16"comets=17"mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Karloff Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have bright silver 17" Comets on my black R, they look really good I think. I took the Volvo covers off the centre caps so they're plain black, as one had fallen off and I thought it actually looked better that way! I have a set of brand new 18x8 anthracite Pegs to go on next summer too, although I wonder how anthracite will look compared to silver against the black.That's an awesome buy you got there though!! Yes Mike the awd's do handle well, i love mine in any weather or any road surface, fills you full of confidence unlike my old S70 T5fwd,Yeah, I didn't realise how much of a difference the AWD made until I had a drive of a T5!!!

Needsdecaf Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Sweet ride Mike, that Saffron is SUPER clean, wow!Nice toy to have...going to be your DD to take miles off of the '04? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwtinut Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Nice to see that you found another "R". After I drove my 2000 R several weeks ago from Philly to DC to drop it off to the new owner. I really could tell the difference from my '04. The '04 seems to be more raw in the feeling and the '00 was more like a grand GT type of car. Great for crusing. But the seats are nothing compared to the '04 seats.
