Potential New Owner

[Stevebgt1]

David, I am sure you will be buzzin the car, regardless of wheel size or aftermarket exhaust. Just enjoy and tweek things as you go. Keep us posted on your thoughts and any mods you may/may not be doing ?

The car's lightly spec'd unfortunately doesn't have a sports exhaust (gutted) but does have drive select and adjustable sports suspension.

There are 2 types of suspension for the B8 RS4, just because it has the option to adjust damping through the MMI doesn’t mean that it has the more popular DRC Sports Suspension.

You need to check the build codes:

2MS = Standard Sports Suspension
2MC = Sports Suspension Plus with Dynamic Ride Control

2MC could be optioned separately (£1710) but highly unlikely considering the value of the Sports Package which included the option.

I'm currently considering a black 2013 RS4 with the following options listed and would be grateful for any thoughts as the what is missing...it sounds like a massive spec, I think the only things missing are ceramics (overrated/unnecessary?) and the service package plus:

Sorry - I know there's some repetition and not all of these are necessarily options!

Do you have a link to the potential car. Dealers/traders are notorious for getting the specification wrong, so it'd be great to see the advertised car so that we can then advise you correctly. Because at first glance it does appear to have a lot, but then there is also some obvious oddities’ for an RS4.

I assume that's not a UK spec? In which case harder to advise as base spec and options vary by country.

Sorry guys, I should have stated that this is a Swiss spec car...and I am relying on Google translate...these things are however all stated to be "Optional Equipment". Do you think there are any biggies missing apart from buckets ceramics and audi service package?

Link below for interest...I know the price is a bit biblical but so is everything here!
