C63 running costs vs b7 RS4

Post by TonyHayers » Sun Jan 04, 2015 12:35 am

Getting a bit tempted now 2nd hand prices are looking quite good. Just wondering what real-world running costs are like compared to RS4 in terms of servicing, fuel etc from those who have gone before me :)

Is fuel much worse than b7 for day to day driving? My RS4 is my daily driver.

Rear tyres needed around 3k to 5k.

I was just looking at service cost with MB really fancy one of these as nay next car. On their website it gives you an exact price, I think it's about the same as Audi

6 weeks into B7 RS4 ownership and having previously owned a C63 I see many similarities in general running costs and upkeep, however if the C63 is driven enthusiastically rear tyres will wear much quicker as earlier been mentioned....

If anything like BMW M's, i'd suggest rear pads would need replacing more often on the C63 as well.
