The interior doesn't work for me, but I do like the exterior. However, I'm the kind of guy that would special order a Goodwood Green Pearl A8. Had an RS6 in that color and loved it.

Great conversation. I used to have an e46 M3 and an RS6. It was the same then. The M3 was hardwired to my nervous system and the RS6 was a rocketship formed from solid piece of steel with an...

This is keeping me away from an S6

Rob has described the issue with the BMW M3 DCT transmission perfectly. 90% of the folks replying to these two threads have never experienced issue #2, which is a serious problem. It is terrifying...

This is Clearly Related to the DSG Transmission

I lived with a vicious lag issue with my first e90 M3. I was so frustrated I traded it for a manual version. I had become so frustrated with BMW's denial of a problem that I logged gas pedal...

Congrats on your continued enjoyment.

My wife still tells me the RS6 was her favorite of my cars. Two e90 M3s later, I'm making plans for an A8 or S8. Diesel Ford Super Duty as my DD in the...

My 2009 BMW M3 tried to kill me quite often during my 2 year lease. Randomly after coasting for a short time at maybe 20 mph, if I asked for throttle, it would lag for up to 3 seconds before the...

Tough Crowd

It would be nice to read the mpg the op is getting, however.

I believe this is dependent on which engine you have. The AudiUSA website has the brake diameters for each engine choice listed in the detailed specification section for the A8.

Sorry, skeptic in me chalks this one up to experimental error. I'm pretty sure statistics will back me up. I've run Techron, Redline and Sea Foam with no noticeable difference in mileage. I still...

Obviously not the most gentle post I've ever typed. Maybe my meds were a little off.

But come on folks, 2mpg due to adding Techron? It's a great fuel additive, but it's not magic.

And to allay...

What a retarded thread.

I drive 25k miles per year and mix Shell and Sunoco. I even add Techron periodically to clean things up. There is ZERO improvement with any combination of the above. Stating that there is a...

New S6 as a Replacement?

My RS6 went bye bye about 4 years ago. My DRC never gave me any trouble, but the ride was harsh, harsh, harsh. The new S6 looks like it will have the same air suspension as the S8, so great ride,...

Funny.

I like the sports+ package and don't like a single aspect of the required sports design package that must be ordered in conjunction.

Try cars.com

I was very frustrated trying to find a new A8 with the options I am interested in. The AudiUSA.com website is not much help for finding a particular set of options. Just punch in a8 on cars.com and...

Although I'm sensitive to gas mileage, it's not because of the price of fuel. It just feels a little irresponsible to be one person flying around in a 4800 lb car getting 14 mpg. If someone can...

Dripping Real Cash

By the way, mine never gave me any trouble through 87k miles and some nasty frost heaves on the Northeast Extension (PA). Just lucky I guess. My next car, an e90 M3 constantly tried to kill me for...

No those are not OEM.

OEM European wheels are 19 x 9. You might also want to check the offsets. 19x8.5 might be ok if the offset is et20. If I remember correctly stock offset is et20.

25% over the original D3 price is acceptable. It's been 6 years. As far as currency exchange rates go, I believe Audi, just like the rest of the European manufacturers, hedge their dollar bets.
