Same!!

Finally about to upgrade soon :) good luck on getting yours in the future, I can’t find a single 2020 s5 in nardo grey within 1000 miles of me haha. Nobody wants to sell their s5 ig

Same gonna upgrade to a S5 most likely, coupe

Got my a4 2019 premium plus back in august… now tm I’m picking up my s5 sport back prestige 2019 15k miles on her, fucking hyped

If you do jump, you won't regret it. I got into without much exposure to the car and from BMW after 20+ years, no regrets.

Welcome

The Etron is a beautiful design. In the GT trim will look amazing.

Get that Tune! MY S3 is stupid now. I love it. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds :)

The oil change timing is noted. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. Took forever to decide, even at the dealership I was flipping things around. The struggle was very real lol.

You will not be disappointed, promise.

Going to grab mine today! I can't wait!

@@cliffpostell508 let me know if you still order the carbon fiber trim. I went on the build site and didn't see it as an option.

You’re absolute stunning Selena

@@Pietro931 I did go with the carbon fiber trim. It looks amazing. Not sure if they have discontinued this option however. I sure hope not!

Thank you. I will be doing a 6 month review in September.

Thanks and you will love it, congrats!!

Unfortunately the s5 is only available as s diesel from 2919 onwards in the UK…great loss of the Porsche and Audi petrol engine in Europe

@@georgedesouza8937 that stinks. The petrol engine is a charm.

@@Pietro931 I totally agree! That’s why I bought a petrol S5 😊

@@georgedesouza8937 In the VAG group the V6’s are Audi engines the V8’s are Porsche engines.

Very nice!!! Post some pics or a video when you get it.

I will do, Thanks

Thanks. Deep Green Pearl Effect.

what's the process on ordering ?

@@brixtion you literally just build the exact Audi you want on google on their ‘configure an Audi’ page and contact your local Audi garage. That’s how it works in UK anyway mate

Thanks.

Exactly!! The BMWs I had include the 435i and 440i Gran Coupes. What a difference that roofline makes. So much nicer than the coupe and the sedan along with a boatload of utility.

@@Pietro931 I am thinking between a bmw 440 and the s5 which one would you recommend

@@aggelostzinis704 design, fit and finish, and quality Audi. For just horsepower BMW.

Just purchased one last week, i am loving it.

Congrats!! What options does it have?

Thanks!!

Tremendous!! Glad I could help.

Funny thing is 11 months later they are buying back my S6 because it’s been in the shop every month since I got it. I have a 2023 S5 Prestige coming in next week ❤

The S6 was a very expensive lemon. Sorry that you had to deal with that. I think that you will like the S5 better.

Mine is Deep Green Pearl Effect. Looks black in the shade, but in the light the Pearl Green is amazing. Check out my video on just the paint on the car.

Takes about 5 months to come in if you order one.

Blue was my second choice. Looks great on that color!! 👌

Agreed!!

Thanks!!

Thanks

10 months, holy cr@p.

I’m ordering my S5 this week, could you provide some advise? Sound-Enhancing Exhaust? Dynamic Steering ? Thanks

Get the black optic pkg, carbon fiber interior trim, B&O sound system, Sport package - a must. If you like leather, get that too. I got the premium plus pkg. Also, it comes down to the color you like. I have a video on my page for the exclusive colors which is a 3900 charge. Regular metallic is 500, so 3400 overall upcharge. Check out the colors, you may like one enough to go that route.

Thank you.

The AWD system is amazing!! The design and quality is no different. Congrats!!

No regrets coming from a BMW and never driving a newer Audi before the purchase.

@@Pietro931 It's always interesting to me how someone, esp. a car enthusiast, responds to driving an Audi with Quattro. I've liked Audi and VW since the late '80s an into the '90s watching WRC, and I've driven many a BMW. I never liked the BMW driving experience. Not exactly sure. But, going from Audi to BMW didn't work out for me.

It will be a hard sell to go back to bmw for me. The Quattro, quality of build, and styling Audi has the throne now.

I almost went with your color. When I saw this in the showroom I couldn't resist.

We got the exact same car! Mine is 19 Navarra Blue too :)

Congrats 👏!!! The exhaust shouldn't be an issue. Set the ride to comfort, and it won't be loud. It does change when set to sport.

What?! That makes you a cool mom, forget what the old fogies think. Besides, this car is no where near as loud as an American sports car. You’ll be fine

100% agreed 👍

The S5 in my opinion has the best design in it's class. The big and beautiful screen is right at eye level, and easy to use. The A6 is gorgeous too, but I personally find the S5's infotainment to be the best looking and most intuitive.

Agreed. In the same family as the BMW 4 series Gran Coupe 👌

@@Pietro931 💯! A fantastic video and good review. Subbed and looking forward to more.

@@KhaledsTech I am at the 6 month mark. I will do one at the 7 to 8 month of ownership, pros and cons.

@@Pietro931 Sounds good my friend, looking forward to it!

There are other videos on my page that detail the color much more.

What did you get after turning it in?

@@Pietro931 SQ5.. Nice handling, but prefer the low profile.. Not into the daddy van any more, trunk space was phenomenal, I hauled so much with the seats down. I'll let you know in about a year whether I trade it in or not.

Well, you now know what the next one will be. Definitely do the sportback, so much more versatile than the two door.

Very different in styling.

It's a great balanced daily driver.

I had a BMW 3 and 4 series over the last 20 years and never thought on leaving. I did jump to the Audi brand after the hideous front end of the 4 series which the Gran Coupe is a part of. In trying to stay with that set up the S5 Sportback was the alternative and wow has it out performed my expectations. BMW may have lost a customer for life. As for the diesel engine issue in the UK, my heart goes out to you. I don't know why they would do that.

@@Pietro931 it’s all to do with the carbon emissions laws here in Europe. Even though Britain is no longer a member of the E.U, they have decided it makes sense and so that rule applies. Even the introduction of a soft limiter where you cannot rev past 2-3 thousand just to save on emissions.Things are changing fast over here. There are cities that have banned diesel and petrol altogether. It’s only a matter of time before others follow suit. My brother owns a BMW M4 and was all for buying the new model till he seen the front grill. He’s now thinking of buying an RS5 instead. Another customer lost.

@@Carl15O3 wow, not like that here YET, but its coming. Some cities are banning modified cars already. As for the RS5, great switch and will not be disappointed. The looks are way better. BMW lost the point that as you walk away from the car you should want to look back at it and say wow NOT at least the dark color hides the grill or the look Is growing on me like toe fugus. After spending all that money only a WOW will do.

The swine look is hideous, sure, but worse than that is how model after model I witnessed them cheating us out of features...with the last one, a 2018 440i , I really felt like it was a kick in the gut by taking away the interior roof handles as well as taking away electro chromatic feature from the passenger side rear view mirror...and to think that I ordered a manual and it came with rev-match which could not be disabled!! Whats more; doesn't come equipped with limited slip differential. Couldn't get it from factory; had to be installed either at the port or later at the dealer...definitley became swine-natured over the years ...finally their true nature shows in their new designsu Audi might be the way to go or even the new Golf R if they will offer it with the Akrapovic exhaust, as in Europe; that will he a great, great day!

Hey neighbor, it was around $67k included Premium Plus Pkg, Exclusive Color, B&O Sound System, Black Optic and Sport Packages, and Carbon Fiber trim.

@@Pietro931 Thanks!

That paint is insane. The shine

Thanks Matty

The S3 is like a VW GTI. The S5 and RS5 is the best balance of size, power, utility, and price. Congrats 👏on your selection.

You can't compare the S3 to a Gti, a Golf R would make more sense.

I don't know the levels within the brand that we'll, but you are correct.

I ordered the car in October 2020 before the supply issue. Back then the dealership dealt on a sale, now I would say that is unlikely especially on a custom order. I wasn't sure how I would like it so I leased it. At some point I just may buy it out.

I wouldn't base my future on the market crashing. The Federal Reserve has that covered, they are buying it all while supress gold and silver.

@@Pietro931 until they don’t and that will be very soon. It’s about to get real.

aged well

Amazing!!! You will learn how to use all of its electronics in time. I have the andriod hooked up all the time and listed to my KZfaq Music app all the time. Better than Sirius XM. I chose the traditional RPM and Speedometer set up. There are a few different styles you can select, then there are sub selections with in each that can be controlled from the sterring wheel (left side). Send me a video!!! Hoping to.see it soon. I just had the front end wrapped in PPF. After a year without it, I would highly recommend getting it done.

@@Pietro931 do you have trouble washing the car with the PPF on it?

@@VisionStance no issues. The damage the debris front the road does the lower front spoiler and just over the grille is surprising. Don't have it happen if it can be avoided.

Not at all. I think these seats are sportier looking and they don't get hot or cold. If you do get hot, the AC is more that sufficient to cool you down. I live in southern Florida, it gets hot here, never have had an issue.

I have Andriod Auto via plug in. Apple is wireless. I don't know about disabling the auto upshift.

Nothing happened to the window. No issues.

I didn't get that option as I don't think it is worth the money. Without it the car handles better than expected 👌.

@@Pietro931 Thank you you just cleared up that stress you got a subscriber

That is the stock exhaust quad tip on the S5.

Awesome video thank you for all the information👍🏽👍🏽

@@Pietro931 A lot better than I expected for the stock exhaust. Thanks for the info, very excited

I think that the roof line is much nicer than the coupe, also the 4 doors fill in the sides making the lines more fluid and the car looks more proportionately balanced.

@@Pietro931 I think the sport back looks really nice from the side and having 4 doors is really nice. I also love the extra trunk space. It’s just from certain angles it looks too long. From the side it looks great but from the corner/side area the front end looks too long and it slopes too much. The proportions don’t fit as well. Overall I think the coupe looks better. That’s just my opinion though bro and I still think the sport back looks nice overall! Sick car man.

Order with the Sport package and the variable steering is included. I think it's great, especially in tight places. When the car is in sport ot dynamic drive, the exhaust note is really nice. The down shifts and speeding up the exhaust is really good and noticeable. Even when just starting the car, the deep tone is very noticeable. Makes the driving dynamics fun.

@@Pietro931 i am ordering from Canadá. The Dynamic package equivalent to the Sport package in US comes with Sport Differential & adaptive Damping suspension. The Dynamic steering comes as an option Same with the Sound-enhancing exhaust, it is optional. Does your car have the sound-enhancing exhaust? I like how your car exhaust sounds

I wasn't a pkg in the US. The exhaust came with the S5 trim level.

Where are you in Florida?

@@Pietro931 South West palm

@@imchrisjaym3923 huge car meet at UTC Mall in Sarasota once a month. If you come up let me know I will save a spot for you.

Sounds good will do

Yes it does which makes it more useful. The open slot bu the volume nob has what purpose? Useless area, should all be carbon fiber.

The biggest difference was on demand power. The HP and torque numbers for the Audi are lower but more refined. The Audi's interior is of higher quality, and I find it to be a better daily because it has a more refined ride. The Quattro system is fantastic. I do like it better for all those things and the styling. BMW has lost its way with its designs, not sure what they are thinking or trying to achieve.

@@Pietro931 thanks for the reply. It would be a tough decision because in terms of tech i do like bmw split screen and option to use the idrive wheel vs only touch screen. So if i do go back into a sedan it will be between bmw 3 or 4 series vs the A5 but the hatch on A5 may be the item that seals the deal

The Sportback versatility is definitely something to consider.

You can order it, Deep Green Pearl Effect. Amazing I'm person.

Agreed, looks like an after thought. BMW did that for a bit, hopefully Audi will integrate with the dash a bit better in future models.

That's awesome!!! I'm glad I was able to help. Double check to see if you can get red with that color, sometimes they have restrictions. As for the Deep Green Pearl Effect with black optic snd sport pkgs, you will always do a look back after parking the car.

@@Pietro931 I know right! I always did a Look Back after Parking my black s5. could not help myself. I bought it in July 2018 the year they sold them in America. It was a looker then, I remember cars slowing down to look at it as I drove the Highway. Such an exciting car to drive. Still the sleekest sedan on the road...

I'm surprised at this point its only 6 months. Fingers crossed 🤞it comes in on time.

@@Pietro931 yeah it gets shipped on the 27th from overseas to Texas by the August 24th then to Illinois 🙏🙏🤞🤞

Let me know when you get it. What color, packages did you get?

@@Pietro931 Blk Mythos Prestige

Nice!! Let me know when it comes in.

I hated they didn't do that for 2021. All due to heated system, completely not necessary.

The windows are as they were when bought. The tires are Conti sport contact 20"

265 30 20

Congrats on your new to you car. M550I is a beast. It's a really nice machine. The two are in very different classes and are really good in their own right.

Check out the exclusive color video I shared for some really nice and unique colors.

Thanks.

$67k

Yes

Yes. First one.

With the Prestige package, yes. I have the premium plus package that those are not standard in.

The maintenance on the Audi is done every 10k miles, I bought the package and saved around $500. It has high performance spark plugs which need to be replaced each time. The BMW was a great rear wheel platform with single turbo but twin scroll so power was instantaneous at any rpm. With the Audi S5 you need to down shift to do the same. The current styling of the 4 series is awful. The oversized front openings just don't do it for me. The Gran Coupe is equivalent to the sportback with the 5th door. The roof styling of the that type of car looks so nice. The HK system of BMW and B&O of Audi are on par with eachother. Where you do notice the difference is the quality of the interior of the Audi. The carbon fiber is deep and designed nicely, the pieces don't feel like plastic. If it weren't for the 4 series styling chosing one of the two cars would have been difficult. When I turn back and look at the Audi in that color and packages, it makes we want to buy it again.

What about reliability and overall engine experience? Knowing at bmw and principally the m340i/m440i has more HP than the S5...how much this will increase/change the driving experience (engine/reliability/cost) pov and ultimately final decision between both brands? Thoughts? I am at the same boat between m340i or s5, and again, mainly from a engine/reliability/cost effectiveness. Ah - plus the m340/m440i they have the additional battery as part of equation...

The reliability has been very good, with no issues in 26k miles. I did purchase the maintenance package when new that covers everything up to 40k miles. I will add a 100k maintenance package after that to ensure no surprises. All German cars are not cheap to maintain, these packages are good insurance policies. As for driving dynamics, the S5 Sportback is very balanced, and when in sport mode you can't tell the difference between an M440i and an S5. The two are very comparable cars. To me, the styling was the determining factor. In that department, there is no comparison. The utility in both cars, not the 3 series, is comparable as well. I do think the interior fit and finish are of higher quality in the Audi. Especially the carbon fiber. The wheels in the Audi lineup hands down have a nicer design as well. HP is a small factor, and once in motion is all but nullified. Hope this helps. Not an easy decision to make. I got the Audi after a test drive and have been very happy with that decision. I did have a BMW for 20+ years.

Nothing abnormal, same here especially when cold.

@@Pietro931 amazing, thanks for getting back I could not find anything online about this.
