Well guys my first post on here..........so after 8 BMW oil burners on the trot, the last being a F11 530d M Sport Touring, i fancied a change to Audi, oh and a petrol one at that

, after all the silver and grey BMW's too i thought why not break that tradition on colour too?
I wanted to hate it, but upon seeing the car in the flesh i was sold lol.
I must confess Monkey Harris played a part in my choice, especially after see his "Red Snotter" V the B8 RS4!
Shes 3 Month old and only 700 miles on, so once run in........MRC,APR or Revo for sure

I thought for a minute you had my old S4 but then saw it has lower mileage than the one I got rid of.

Phew!
Lovely looking car!

Nice car

I'm hopefully getting my B8.5 over to Awesome in the near future. They are just testing the new APR OBD tuning system (directport) on the B8.5 this week.
MRC has great reviews on here (sure you've read them all), but on such a new car I don't want to open the ECU. I'm such a wimp
I'll put a review on here when I'm done

Nice one pal, I know Jim very well at Awesome from my previous VAG Days, I too don't want to open the ECU, watched whilst this was done on my past bmw 330d......
Are they doing multi maps on B8.5 95/98 Ron etc via cruise stalk? Via ODB

I don't think you can switch maps on the Simos ECU, although Awesome don't know for sure until the trial is done later this week.
APR's website shows the ECMS system as not functional on the B8.5 so I think its not going to work

I think you can still specify what fuel you will run and map to that.
As soon as I find out I'll post back here
