you crackhead... told you not to lol. Well hope it brings joy!! NA cars are so much less hassle, but less fun IMO... the RWD I am sure makes up for it in many ways! Hope we meet up and you can take me for a spin.

Julian - impending post 'Fitting multifunction steering wheel to S4'?....
Wish that was possible Paul - stereo controls on the steering wheel are a really sensible safety and convenience feature for any car IMO.

I find VAG cruise control most awkward to use. I see nothing intuitive about it nor easy to use. At least I can leave mine on all the time without a light in the speedo lighting up like on our Golf, so you have to move the switch before you can set the speed with the end button.

Congrats on the new car Simon. I think the handling is the best bit about the beemers and the noise :D Get an Eisenmann box on there ASAP mate :mrgreen:

I wouldnt bother with the remap IMHO.....there are nice kompressor kits though :twisted:

Be good to see it Monday night mate. Maybe we can have a little play from a set of lights round your way, see if there is much difference. What is your gut feeling?

My K03'd S4 at c340 bhp was similar to an E39 M5 upto 80 or 90, then it started to loose out badly and I had to spend more money :)
