So, what made you decide to change? Did the '03 have a lot less miles, better options, or something else? Just curius...

The 03 was a M6 and the 99 was an A4. The 03 also had better options and was newer. Plus my 90 was Red and I really wanted a different color. Now don't anyone get upset, Torch Red is a great color, I just wanted something different.

Nice upgrade, both colorwise and newer car. And if the bug has bitten you, you can now start the mod process all over again!
