Hey guys, finally picked up my S5 on Thursday night. Only have about 350 miles on it so far but it's been absolutely wonderful for me so far. No complaints at all. Plenty of pictures to come as the weather around here gets nicer.

Also, keep your eyes open for future posts...got a couple of cars that I'll be making videos of to compare the S5 to. First to be compared to will be my bro's RS4. Raced it the other day just briefly and kept up with it till about 70mph but then the RS4 just took off. Next will be the 911 Carrera (Automatic). Any other suggestions to race against? 3rd video will probably be against auto and manual 328xi (yes i know they're not comparable but it's just for kicks).

Anyone got any questions about the car or want pictures of anything in particular let me know...I'd be more than happy to show you.

Check the profile for pictures. I don't know how to insert pictures to the actual post so if anyone can help i'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Stainless Steel (SS) looks really good, but none of the photos I have seen of it so far have been very clear. I have only seen 2 S5s in real life so far, one with carbon atlas and the other with wood. I would really like to see SS in real life, but any good pics you have of it would be great for now.

it looks jet black in that light

Some of the pics are out of focus, but the last few capture the texture pretty well.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/a5/msgs/14770.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/a5/msgs/14770.phtml</a></li></ul>

well it's definitely blue that's for sure. i bought it...i should know. haha. but yeah if you don't know what to look for or have no experience with the car i can see why you'd think it's black. it's pretty easy to tell the difference though.

show its true colors (pun intended).
