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.

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...

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.

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,...

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

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...

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.
