My owners manual says first B7 A4 2.0T air filter change is at 55K. Has any Audi actually made it to 55K with its original air filter?

I just checked my scheduled maintenance receipts for my previously owned 2007 A4 2.0T (traded-in Dec 2010) to find my air filter was replaced at 54,848 kilometers, or 34,280 miles.

Of course a lot depends on driving conditions. Certainly anyone driving dusty backroads or the like will need frequent changes. Our driving was probably the typical daily commute to work on paved highway and city streets.

I changed mine at 55k, and it was not particularly dirty. There were a lot of nuts and seeds in the airbox from what looked to be rodents living in there, but the filter itself was intact. Haven't checked on it since; coming up on 100k so I suppose it's time again soon. Also changed the spark plugs at 55k and those looked fine as well.

I changed mine at 58k and it wasn't very dirty.
