New R60 Owner

Members,

Hi, all. I just picked up an All4 tonight. Finally found the balance that best fits my needs: Sport Suspension + 17s. I tried 18s with/without sport, etc., but wasn't satisfied with the harshness/handling balance.

Thanks to all that contribute and continue to share with this forum, it's greatly appreciated.

I need to get front mudflaps ASAP!

Cheers,

Loving the color! Glad you found a combo that made you happiest with handling.

I concur; 17in + Sport was my choice too, but I went D for it's torque characteristics and relaxed driving style. (Hope you'll have that option soon!)

Thanks for the welcome! This site has been very informative prior to purchase. Lurker no more. I'm looking forward to some mods and tweaking. It will be interesting to see how often I take my V8 Touareg skiing this winter.

I know everyone loves pics, so I'll try to get some up ASAP.

Motor on!

If one of you guys with mudflaps on your CM have some pics I'd like to see. Mine is on order and I'm contemplating adding them but would like to see them installed. Thanks in advance...

Neato! Congrats & welcome! If that big blue thing would get out of the way, we could see your nice Pure Red & white. Hard to get a good shot when they're sandwiched in like that.
