**LiamT4** · Monday 4th March 2013, 18:18

As the title says, what colours did the R and T5-R come in? I know they did them in green, black and red, but what others did they do? Pics of the cars would be good.

this is just out of interest you understand ;-)

There was white ones, one turned up at a meet M.R.G some years ago, saloon and estate, can't remember if they were t5r or 850r though.

Well then, definatly not yellow (i dislike those more than gaygold s/v70s lol), reds to much work to keep red, blacks simply to much work to keep clean.
Think its grey or green for me then, but whatever the colour it'll have to have volans.

Thats too much (lol), i'v really gone off cleaning cars . A good thing in owning my bmw is that i don't feel the need to keep it looking sparkling all the time like i did with my s70r.

Only 1 white saloon left (think Shem has it on T5D5 now, auto... At the minute

)
2 auto estates and my manual. There was 1 white T5R but no idea if it's still alive or if it was manual or auto.
From memory there was a silver 850/T5 R as well.
My prefered colour is actually the olive btw

Edit: I think there was only 1 white saloon anyway.

Second picture of the black 854 T5-R is my old car!

**Rudeyboy18** · Tuesday 5th March 2013, 16:48

What is the difference between the 850 R and the T5-R. The look exaclty the same..... Is it like the V70 Pre ME7 97-98 and ME7 99. Basically the same shell and looks , just different technology??
