Ordered one

[Graeme4130]

According to the tracker mine has left Ingolstadt after spending two weeks in QC. So hopefully mid March.

That’s only a few weeks away, so make sure you get some pics up

I understand the car market is down in the past 12 months so based on the pricing, I think both cars have got to be a tough sell into a tough market.

The fewer they sell, the better as far as I am concerned

[Brooner]

yes hopefully the will be some decent deals next year when i come to order one ( and possibly the milled wheels will become an option with out the carbon pack)

[RS Owner]

I just checked the configurator on the Audi Germany website. They can add milled alloys (Peak Design) to the base vehicle (3000 EUR).
Seems the Carbon Edition is just a UK thing.

And they get homelink too not on uk site which is a pain

They dropped the option for Homelink on the RS6 at facelift in the UK.

There's a member on here who had their standard suspension (non DRC) B8 RS4 into the dealership trying to sort out a suspension knock. So going for a non DRC setup wont necessarily escape you from that happening again.

Personally I think it's down to use. Cars that hit pots holes, speed bumps regularly/too hard will be prone to pushing fluid past the seals and therein a knocking sound develops. Audi have improved the design over the generations, as it's less prevalent now compared to C5 and B7 RS models.

Hi Sam, Suspect you are talking about my b8 which did come with DRC then had kw adjustable suspension fitted by the previous owner. The knock was due to the right rear spring opening up at the top causing it to move around on corners due to slop. that was the root cause of the knocking. It had a other rattles due to lose sub frame bolts, all of which got tightened up at the same time. Car is much nicer to drive now its quieter without the rattles and knocking. From what I recall you telling me, my car does not have DRC working now with after market suspension. Strangely though in Dynamic mode its a harder/firmer ride. Even rear seat passengers have complained it was too "bumpy" for them ( non car folk like my sister) when in Dynamic, then when i changed to comfort they stopped complaining. I know very little about the B8 platform as i am a new owner and its my work car, but I my passengers cant be imagining it when they dont even know what DRC is.

Hi Steve, it wasn't you.

Nice to hear you got the car sorted. The only thing I can think of, is that you actually have the KW adjustable spring kit and not the full KW V3 coilovers like written in your signiture. If it's just the spring kit, then DRC will actually be retained.

Good stuff. Have they given you a build slot time yet, or estimated silvery time ?
I really liked the Green, but my wife was very against it. Bizarrely, she quite likes the Nardo, which I thought she'd hate
