Thanks guys,

Your opinions, knowledge, and love of your RS4s convinced me to drop my S5 order in favor of a Sprint Blue with Titanium package sedan!

Good choice Buddy, enjoy the Car, the S5 is not in the same class as the RS4. :beerchug:

Looks good & why don't we get that same package over here?? Mine is Sprint with Optics (de-chrome), but wheels & mirrors are regular silver/alloy colour, although i may get them powder coated come re-furb time in a couple of months.

welcome mate and wow i like the look of the titanium package, very nice, its a shame that you guys in the states have to have reflectors on the front sides (in your case bumpers), but still a very nice example!

congrats

That looks great, if we can get hold of those mirrors over here, I would defiantly change my wheels....

are those mirror's plastic or alloy like on other RS models..if so they mite be able to be anodised..i use a company that anodises and chemically blacks metal and alloys..
what about a satin finish powder coat in titanium...that is possible..

Thanks again guys. Your total joy from having and driving your cars moved me to spend the extra money to get the RS4. In the US, the difference is about $12K USD, but because of finance rates and deals on all outgoing A4, S4, and RS4 models, it was more like $9K. The S5 sells for full MSRP or sticker as we call it, whereas RS4 was discounted by $4K.

I read EVERYTHING on the two cars, including cars not available to us yet, like the M3. In the end, 4 doors, all round performance, and look of the RS4 won out. Most expensive thing I have ever bought, but well worth it.

My wife calls it "Smurf Blue".

19" is standard. We also lose the start button for cup holders...
