Thanks man! Well it's good that it's sticking around on the board then! From what I gather her new owner is pretty set on keeping it the way I sent it in!

I will, thanks Mark! It was a great deal for what I got I believe. Very hard to walk away from the 996 I almost got, but the functionality of this car for where I live is hard to deny. And the warranty was a nice touch.

For sure. If you will mod the Audi or any VW, APR is the Kleemann/Renntech of the Audi aftermarket industry except they cost less.
Modlist for ya !

Dude I was just noticing that the cost of these mods is unbelievably cheap compared to the Merc.

It already has a Stasis ECU tune along with exhaust... All covered by warranty. I think I'll just pick up that Stage II Intake for now.

Thanks Bro!

Fair, Fair. I stated in my 1st post that this car is no E55. It never could be. But in all fairness the S4 is worth twice as much

Tal. Can't believe you are letting your e55 go. It is perfect! that being said, the Audi is a pretty good choice. It is much tighter and more fun in the curves then the Benz and at the same time has a good amount of luxury to it.

Let me know if you need some ideas. We tune Audis as well you know

So was back to square one. Sold a car that I absolutely loved and was truly a beasttttt and basically wanted it back.

Also, Tal's car is almost as nice as mine was!

Nice car Tal, I have been looking at the s6 for a daily driver. I want to keep the miles low on my 55. But I am now looking at the s4 and the xf. I can't wait to see what wheels you drop on that beast. Keep me posted.

Get yourself a VAG-COM cable and check out Ross-Tech for software on running all the codes.

Stasis is an Audi approved aftermarket mod company.

Here's an example, and the dealership tgoss bought at:

Thank you Marcus!

Side note seconded. The guy won't stop texting to remind me how big of a retard I am for selling it.

All done at the dealership so it's completely covered under the warranty (which I'm a massive fan of right now)

Your bro's car is sick

I actually picked it up from McDonald. They had it sitting like this in the showroom when I called that day, purchased on the spot
