New S5 Owner
Hi,
Splitting my time between LA and Dallas - so my TX car is an S5. My other cars are an FX56S and 2015 Q70S.
Got a Premium Plus with Tech Black Optic and Black optic plus, sport dif, Napa, Carbon Atlas inlays, 20's.
Kinda loving it. My only gripe is the manual steering wheel and not easy entry/exit feature. Hate that.
Looking forward to getting to know her - I'm only here about 2 weeks a month so she'll be garaged in the mean time.

Damn - you need the S5 in LA for the canyons :-)
Congratulations on a great car. Give me shout sometime and we can go for a drive through the canyons north of LA - they are epic... you'll move the S5
As temptation, here is a shot of The Wiggles, a stretch in Little Tujunga Canyon that is part of 120 mile loop in the Angeles Forest.
Happy Holidays

Congrats! Florett Silver, correct? Just like mine but with the Black Optics package and 20"s. Nice!

I wanted Daytona Gray but they sold it before I got there. The only other was FS - with the upgrades so I took it. Made them deal hard tho.
And yes I wish I had the S5 in LA - but my Q70S has the UpRev tune to 375hp and front and rear sways so it handles really well. And I need a 4 door there for my work. Until recently I did Mulholland every day.
Can't wait until I'm in Dallas perm so I can have all 3 cars to go back and forth in.

Yes, Daytona Gray with Black Optics and 20"s looks really hot, but FS will stay cleaner much longer, and if you happen to move to Dallas in the spring it will be storm season!

The S5 is in Dallas full time with the FX, the Q70S is in LA.
So - I always do full LEDs on my cars, inside and out. Infiniti is great as you can just do swaps with no issues, but with my 15 Jeep I just traded because of the CANBUS system switching to LEDs threw error codes.
Any body know if there is a plug and play replacement that is whiter for the fogs? They seem too yellow and I prefer they match the heaadlights.
I'm good with search so will start there...but Audi is new to me. I've had EVERY Infiniti model except the QX80 so I can basically strip it to the chassis. LOL
Audi - not so much. Yet.
