I happened to notice that my RS4 turned 60,000 miles today so I thought I would share my experiences so far. (For what it's worth...)

History: Bought car new two years ago this month.
Added H-Pipe this summer.
Running 265/30/20 Work wheels with BFG TKW's for summer, 18" Dunlap M3's for winter.
Replaced spark plugs at 50K.
Change oil without fail every 5K.
Followed factory maintenance.
Still on original brakes. (I drive a lot of highway but will need new pads and rotors this spring.)

Trouble to date: Arm rest cover hinge broke last week. (Have no idea why.)
That's it!

Overall impressions: This is my every day driver. Rain, snow, or shine.
It is still a blast to drive.
Whenever I drive anything else (including P-cars,) I'm not wanting to change rides yet.

I just thought some people want to know my experiences before deciding to keep theirs for the long run, that's it.

good to hear such a positive report, thnx

like any car, with religious maintenance, coupled with a little mechanical sympathy, and the car will be reliable...

as long as the oil is changed regularly and the engine/gears are up to temp, pushing the car is what it's built for...as long as one stays smooth (no slamming of gears, clutch drops, driveline shocks, etc.) the car will hold up just fine...

my M3's went
e30 225k
e36 200k
e46 150k
just fine, no major issues and pulled strong, low oil consumption, etc.

now that's more like it! A trouble free RS4 at higher mileage.

I'm sure they're are many more out there, as a lot of owners aren't inclined to post here if not experiencing a problem.

I'm coming up on two years and I have absolutely no desire for another automobile yet. Not even the slightest inkling. Of course I drive my Porsche Cayenne about 60% of the time, so driving the RS4 has become more of a "treat" also. I like it that way. It's not a garage queen by any means, but it is definitely a special experience to take it out. Still, it's nice to know that there is no other car I would rather own at this point in time.

Reviving an old thread...How many miles on your RS4 now Big Hank???

I am up to 104,000 miles now.
Still loving life and no problems!!!!

WOW very nice Big Hank! Has to be some sort of record. Have you notice it getting loose or is it still pretty tight? Burning more oil, any repairs attributable to high mileage?

That is great to hear! I definitely think these RS 4 were built solidly...yours is a great example.

I'd like to know this as well.

My B5S4, although I still love it at 130,000 miles, started to "get loose" at around 100,000 miles and it a little more sloppy in handling and such... even with new suspension put on it.
