EDIT: Oh, now I remember! He said that he had installed the optional screens behind the front head-restraints. I was confused as I thought that it comes standard and he said he'd made some changes to it and the ICE! I didn't bother asking him anything more!

yes if i remember correctly the speaker grilles were aluminum and sort of stuck out in the interior (not a bad thing), thats why i said it looked a bit after market (again not a bad thing).

OT - You must actually experience the B&O in A8 once, then if you think if anyone can repace it with something else(whatever be it) You will be the first one to point a finger at him (or flash one atleast).

Yeah it does look aftermarket, Akshay.

Yup! I've heard that the B&O system in the A8 is capable of blowing one's socks off! Even I'm flabbergasted at the fact that one could replace something so divine! But then again, people who have money can get what they want most of the time!

Thank you, Ayan! Actually, it isn't a dull grey! It's champagne gold and it looks very classy in person! I told you, pictures don't do justice to his car!

Yes I know it buddy. But actually I was driving towards the M.G.Road from St.Mark's Street and was near HRC when the car took a turn towards Koshy's so couldn't notice the model in my RVM. A friend who was with me spotted it first and exclaimed its a Mitsubishi. I remember seeing a silver Mitsubishi FTO at KNK Street, Chennai and yes it does look sweet.

the B&O system is optional and costs a cool 8Lakhs!! a bit more than 'extravanganza' . but i have to admit that it sounds like nothing else.

Few random spotting during my last B'lore trip early this week.

The new BMW X5 with yellow TP-Plate spotted from Cunningham Road at my dad's friend's office complex when we went to meet him. Later happen to know that it's his new drive.

New A6 3.0TDI spotted at UB City parking lot at 2nd Level.

TLC spotted near Town Hall & photo took from an office at 1st floor.

Saw this 3-Series with beautiful wheels at Brigade, posting here because of the beauty of the wheels.

Also spotted a brand new S500 (black) at the parking yard of Sundaram Motors, but couldn't snap as I was driving.

+1

That system is INSANE !!!! I had a Q7 fitted with the B&O for my training purposes in Audi Mumbai, and it is mindblowing..........

I actually had to be dragged out of the car once the training was over

Sweet pics! Love the rims on the 3.

Those rims aren't optional on the 3 are they?

Is that a Techart Exhaust setup on the black Cayenne? Is it an "S"?
