take that sweet new S4 over to the guys at APR and get a new pulley (just like the E55s get)... According to APR its worth +108 HP to the wheels for $494!!!! talk about bang for your buck!

i bet you are loving the ability to do full throttle launches with no fuss from the rear end

Thank you sir! It's definitely a bit different than the E. I'm need to stay with the stasis bits for a while... I'm already modding this car when I swore I would keep it stock..

But I miss the ability to roast a tire in minutes. The E55K is the most complete car I could ever imagine. She will be truly missed... Until I'm in Merryland and Charlie let's me have my way with here again....

Late to the party but Ive gone thru the E55 "say goodbye" program and it was one of the more difficult cars to let go. Probably slightly less missed than only my E39 M5 which was an amazing car.

Change is a good thing And im sure you will be back with Benz- maybe an M157 TT?
