Chaps.

Some may know that I sold the RS4

So I have the AP Racing brakes for sale and the JFA Tuning box. Both half the price I paid with prices to follow when I work them out. Brakes and box both installed Oct 18 so were only on the car for 6 months and about 6k miles.

Afaik AP Racing still don't do an off the shelf kit for the RS4 and mine were bespoke made for the car by Tom Wrigley.

TX.

Edit - £1650 for brakes (calipers, pads, discs and HEL brake lines. £325 for JFA box.

Sorry to hear you sold it. I did not think you had it that long.. The JFA box, I assume this fits an RS5 also? Have to ask, what are you driving now?

I'll need to duck low M5 Comp.

OK congrats.
How do you find BMW's xDrive 4WD system compares to Audi's Quattro?

Tiny bit more rear bias but just grips and goes like the RS4. Switchable to RWD too of course.

I came frome BMW. Their xDrive sucks, mine was toast at 160k km.
Always mount star label tires or they won’t cover it in warranty.

What do you mean re tyres? Car specific tyres?

Star marked tyres are "approved" by BMW, so tested and manufactured to their specification.
Doesn't mean other 'generic' tyres won't work on the cars, but BMW won't necessarily cover tyre related issues (and logically so) if non approved tyres are fitted.
BMW could blame an xDrive warranty issue on your non star marked tyres if you use them. Time will tell if the F90 has any weakness in this area.

I did hear a rumour that the M5C doesn't like non standard tyres so better to put new versions of the original tyre back on.

Indeed. If you look close you will see a star on the sidewall.
Take care to replace them with tires that also bear that star.
They are fussy about it should you need warranty on your xDrive.
