I suspect ditto question I have too. I would want the polished titanium 20" wheels not the 5 arm S ones.
It's 100 quid more but TBH if they won't compromise on that then well...

I've have been sold by the time I got to "sports diff"
I take it that is controllable, so I can send 60%> to the rears?

No. It's an electro-mechanical rear differential splitting the power between the rear wheels only.
Standard torsen diff on the b7 RS4 can shuffle more than 60% to the rear.
New RS4/5 uses a crown gear with electronic clutch plates - something like up to 85% front or 70% rear with standard 60:40 rear bias.

Just got off phone to dealer

So many people have said they would rather the V Spoke wheel over the 5 arm wheels that the pack is likely to change.

Cool - TBH given that there's 100 quid difference in price might as well just say any 20" wheel.

That's what I said to him but he thinks it may just be one option but the v spoke option.
