And P-word is ranked even higher. Rabid fans, so what. It's all subjective. I prefer BMW ergos on my M5 but also drive A5, daughter's A3, etc. Could have bought an R8 (nuts to insane markup...

Stuff happens. Had a RR shock die on 2018 A5SB;

and that's irrelevant to your coil spring failure. FWIW, the pics don't indicate to me a spring broken, but I don't see a crack or displaced coil. Coil springs are notorious for failure due to...

Tires with most tread on the rear

Section width on 275 is 10.83 in therefore no tire stretch.

Recommended wheel width is actually 11” so no tire stretch with 10”. One could argue the 10” wheel with 275mm tread width is counterproductive by lifting the outer edge of the static tire patch. ...

10” is about 254mm and 275 is wider tread, therefore

I would expect tire section width would be even wider or there should not be stretch.

The tire shop talked u into 4 new ones.

TireRack can shave a new tire to whatever you want. If I shave a tire to match I’d go to +1/32 relative to older tire to allow for softer new tire. If I went exact match I’d have the tire heat...

Do NOT push pistons back w/o opening bleeder

Always open the bleeder during pushback to dump oldest fluid. That way you won’t push old fluid up the pipes and possibly booger the abs pump.

Rotors usually good for 100K miles.

I just replace the pads. I have been known to grind the outer lip of the rotor, inside and outside. Recognize that’s pushing the wear limit, but there’s a lot of meat left on the rotor. If you’re...

I still miss my 02 S6 but not enough to buy an RS6.

Got an M5 before the RS6 wagon was available in the US. It's umm, sufficient to the task. Plus it doesn't have the problematic dynamic stability control that audi uses...those oil-filled shocks...

Dump it. It will only get worse even after it's repaired.
