It looks much better with saddle brown.



I can't find a good pic of the e90's interior so i used the coupe's pic, but they're pretty much the same.

That's exactly how a sports car is supposed to be, the focus should be on performance. The refined elements should stay true to expectations of the manufacturer. For me, I'm ok with a comfortable sporty interior with basic controls like power windows, A/C and a decent stereo.

But it's not really a sports car, it's a luxury sport sedan.

The interior is actually a lot older than that and dates back to the b6... Here's the interior of a 2002 Audi A4 3.0, which made its debut back in 2001.. The fact that the same interior can hold its own against the worlds best, 7 years later is testament to how Audi owns the interior dept.

The old B6 one kind of is, but there isn't really anything wrong with it and its unoffensive.

So some moron decides to drive his car a couple of hundred miles in limp-home mode. Suddenly thats how the car works? Being a so called "car guy" he should have know the damn thing is in limp home, ie limp that f'er home slowly

The point isn't that the car is in limp mode. The point was that ever since he bought the car... it was a pain in the ass. He likes the car... but can't live with all the problems that keep popping up.

The point is that he probably got a lemon. The point is I've never had an issue with mine. The point is I can find vids from other manufacturer's that have problems. The point is Crester is an idiot and only thinks Cadillacs have problems. The point is Crester has posted this video multiple times. The point is what do you expect from an import website. The point is this is stupid and a waste of time.
