I've maxed out on outside mods - the B&O system in my B8S4 is so old. From Forum search I am seeing that its not possible to upgrade the head end unit since its got MMI integration. Are speaker...

The shudder /click comes through the steering

Thanks for this reply - I appreciate that thread on the "crawl" - I have never experienced that (in 9 years ownership). I had a Coupe early days (FWD) and any feel like this turned out to be...

Light vibration/clunk when doing slow turns

2012 S4. Started as a slight clunk (vibration) when slow turn left. Now it’s both left and right ( I.e parking or 3 point turns ). Any ideas what it might be? Does not affect the drive and it’s only...

There are no issues with 19" snows. Price not much different either.

I have mounted 19" Blizzaks on the OEM peelers and run summer Michelin PSS 19's on BBS CHR's.

Live in Toronto - lots of snow, slush and ice from November through March ... and although the reco...

... some carryover - model lines are changing so quickly now though ...

... that each model seems to be in its own next generation development. Unlikely many A8 parts made it to the B8 S4 from what I can see. If anything our Audi's are getting a bit too familiar in their...

You are forgiven for driving Asian ;) - S4 is night and day to an A4

Drive both - I can't count that high as to how many posts of those who have A4/A5's - bitter they did not go "S". Its a heavy car - you need the extra ponies.

Test drive-o-rama.

Lease it if you change every 2-3 years.

I buy mine - hold for 6 (my 2007 A3) to 14 years (had a 1987 Coupe GT for almost 15 years - bulllet-proof)_

Change mine daily

I am 6 foot 3 and am a little disappointed at how high the seating position is in my B8. I agree there is a lot of playing needed. Ideal driving position is when your wrists can arch over the top of...

Nein! Dealer wash = waste of water & danger of swirls

I tell my Dealer no wash at any time - dirty rags + minimum wage washers = bad.

Well done - congratulations - this is an easy car to love

You are in the right place to start - from switching a light bulb to recos on what shade of tint to go with - these forums make owning an S4 that much more enjoyable -
Have fun and keep us posted...

Merc follows Audi's lead (remember "Never Follow"? :)

The only thing that pisses me with Audi is that we are too damn successful. When I bought my first Audi Coupe in 1985 the Bimmer was "the" brand. Now Bimmer and Merc are taking aim at Audi. Bring it!...

Ironically read your post yesterday - spotted this at the dealer today. Yes, those are the OEM Conti Sports on it. Brand new A4 in the hands of the thoughtless. Hopefully he/she did not do as much...

Never - like driving on slicks. No stopping power - no grip whatsoever

Am pissed having not got winter tires this year on the S4 - unlike last winter lots of snow & ice in the Northeast this year. Am using the wife's Hankook snow tire clad A3 instead. Fun but not the...

S4 - nothing else comes close to speed nor practicality

2 door coupes are not practical with kids or guests.

Those wheels look fantastic! - What did it cost?

I had not even thought of coating them and would much prefer to put the $$ to suspension mods ... not a fan of the OEM Peelers.

How much and who does this kind of work?

Thanks!

Awesome video - thank you for this.

Wish Audi would produce some serious DVD's on their racing programs. I have one or two DVDs on the IMSA days and of course LeMans but nothing showcasing 1980's to today.

Well done.
