M5 or B5

B5 all the way, nicer wheels and sits more agressive too

B5, probably Touring, ALPINA blue, black buffalo, not sure about the rhombs; silver if I have 'em...

Saving already :)

M5 as the B5 seems to have defective fog lights.

Yes. Definitely.

B5 and a Nitrous kit.

Does that B5 really not have a flashy diff?

Eww.

A plain diff and stability control is probably better than a flashy limslip for road use.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@karoo.co.uk, Tim S Kemp decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Nah, LSD and no instability control for me

Yea, donuts are well hard without a proper diff :)

It doesn't need it - electronics do as good a job these days.

The TI didn't offer any more traction than the Pug does - and all the Pug uses for grip is a flickery light on the dash :)

But you can't do donuts or drift suitably with no good diff in a RWD :)

M5 - ropey gearbox, ropey diff, could blow up if de-limited

B5 - Slightly hard to get hold of, in theory a bit slower

I know where my vote is

A chunky deposit on a house.

The B5 if it comes with a limited slip diff...

Niether of us have any RWD skills anyway, so that's kinda moot :)

Confident i could do a donut :D

Not sure you need a LSD for donuts - I used to do half donuts in the
