Saw a C5 S6 Avant and B7 RS4 this weekend and was curious about the bodywork vs. B5 RS4
On Saturday I was following a C5 S6 Avant and the wider fenders on the wagon just knocked me out. It looked really good! In pictures it's hard to get a good feeling about how a car looks "in the flesh" and I was wondering if the B5 RS4 has similar impact.
So I was totally sold and ready to trade in for an Avant and then I end up running in a canyon with a B7 RS4 Sedan. This also has the wider fenders and I was really impressed with how good this car looked. It had the same kind of beefy purposful look as (to me) a E46 M3. It had me thinking I might just want to stick with my Sedan! Once again I was wondering if those who have seen a B5 S4 Sedan with the RS4 bodywork could comment on if had a similar impact to the overall look of the car.
I'm definitely wanting to do the RS4 bodywork, but trying to decide if I need to go Avant to get the look I want. It's going to cost thousands to swap to an Avant and get it to the point I'm already at with this car! Just looking for feedback from people who have actually seen these RS4 bodied cars in person!

Oh, and does anyone have and side my side photos of a RS4 bodied SEDAN vs stock?
I've got some of two Avants, and the sum is certainly greater than the parts. I can't put my finger on it but you just think. "Damn, that's nice."

I've noticed. ;-) I love this car though, and making it look like it drives would be awesome.
I can only think of a couple cars I would rather own and drive everyday, and both of those have RS in their name. Since I can't afford those, I might as well make mine look the part!
