B8.5 is the best looking S4 imo

I recently started looking for B8 S4’s because I saw this awesome Audi in a Video and I just realized that it was yours!! So cool.

Personally prefer the b8 s4 over any other s4 IMO and I’m getting one myself. Beautiful cars

Just secured a deal on a clean Manual B8.5. Going to pick up tomorrow really excited to finally bring one home with me lmao

I think that the exterior looks of the B8 is so sexy so it looks better than the B8.5, however, I think that the whole interior of the B8.5 is way more cool than the B8.

Great video 👍 you’re one of the reasons I bought my B8.5 S5 and went dual pulley 🏁

for me personally the lines on the front end of the b8 look better, the way the hood lines follow through to the bottom of the front bumper. but the rear of the b8.5 is better imo.

Awesome video man!

Easiest way to see if the car has the trick diff is go into the settings for drive select > individual and if the car has it, it will be listed.

Good video man thank you, I suspect that last bit will save some people some money.

I hear of a lot of different issues with the transmission in the B8, mainly being the G676 sensor. Should I just focus on the B8.5 cause of that or is the issue the same on those? I’m simply looking at getting one and just going stage one and probably not much more, can the stock trans and stock clutch handle that? Thanks for the great info!

Great video! You should do a similar one to see what to look out for while buying one as well!

Missed the most important thing to look for imo which is timing chain rattle on start-up. The only way to tell is to have the car sit over night and see if the oil drains from the tensioners. While common and supposedly not catastrophic, it's annoying and definitely something to consider when looking for any supercharged 3.Ot.

Does the drive select indicate that you have Dynamic steering? And does the sport differential really make a difference in day-to-day driving?

I love my beamers, but my god I love the old audis with the superchargers. Hope to get me one soon!

I prefer the sliver "ear" since that is one of signs of Audi S/RS lol

I own a 2012 Lincoln MKS eco boost it’s a 3.5l v6 twin turbo awd and i love it but it seems to be broken every couple months, i have heard the B8.5 is more reliable than the B8 but wasn’t sure if that was completely true. Been looking into this and a Cadillac ATS-v but this would be the cheaper option. I have never owned a foreign car because my dad is an engineer on classic muscle cars and he always tells me to stay away from them because of how expensive the repairs are. Please let me know!

wish it was manual, but like the red velvet seats 🔥

Dude, you finally got a few hairs cut lol Oh and yeah, ABOUT TIME you did a video like this!!! Edit: I also forgot to mention that I love the B8 front bumper, but the B8.5 headlights.. If that makes sense.

I love my music though and I’m thinking about an 2011 B8. What do you suggest?

Nice builds!

These differences are only for the US market. In Europe we don't get flat bottom steering wheels unless its a top spec S and Pro line model. Same goes for the shifters unfortunately :(

Hopefully Picking up a B8.5 with only 58,000 KILOMETRES (36k miles) on it this week!! Thanks for the content!!

Does the B8 has Aux for Phone music or is there no possible way to listen to your music on your phone without a gongle ?

For the b8.5 s4 where do you get the same grill?

Thank you !!!

Does the B8.5 s4’s come in a manual? I’ve never seen one

the mmi is an optional thing, i have a b8.5 and unfortunatly the first ower cheaped out on the mmi system, so i can only make calls with bluetooth, not even blast music with it ( so not just a b8 thing ) .. the solution i found for that and made my car music suitable is buying a Tune2air with the audi mmi cable which can then be plugged in into the mmi adapter and the connection seems to be solid so far (using it for half a year ) i can also vouch for getting the sport diff aswell (even thought i don't have it) the s4 tend to oversteer quite easily when going to fast into corners, can be fixed by NOT going fast into a corner & blast your throttle once you're in it but still.. im hoping to fix this with H&R Sway bars in the future ( wish i just had the sport diff though ) overall the car seems to be pretty solid as a daily driver.. me personally im not the type of guy who needs a full option car, as long as i have decent seats, a sun roof and in this case a DSG automatic i'm happy, it also came with carbon trims & a full black interior with half alcantara seats, so basically all i desire, except for not having the sport diff that is.

Great video just sold my b8 A4 looking to buy a b8.5 s4

They’re both really great looking cars!

where did you two find these with such low mileage?

How did you not get blind spots my a4 09 prestige trim is fully loaded comes with push to start drive select bang n olufsen and all other kinds of shit

Great video bro

went with the b8.5 because of the steering wheel, the newer mmi (still outdated compared to new ones, was thinking about putting a different screen in there for android auto and stuff), the shift was a big one, and i just like the look of the grille, headlights, and taillights so much better. used to like the b8's headlights more, but overtime it grew soft. I love the aggressive look on the b8.5 so much more now. and any time i see a b8, i just cant get an imagine of that god AWFUL shift knob out of my head LMAO.

On the 8.5, can you engage the emergency brake (electro-mechanical) while in motion and at speed?

Excellent video. I have a B8 S5 any suggestions on mods?? Thanks 👍

What the hell is with that license plate😂😂

Hey buddy both beautiful cars! I personally own a B8 and love the car deeply. Where did you get your front honeycomb grill?

Doesn’t the B8 have hydraulic steering? please respond

Another great video!

Yo what is that song at the beginning?

Hopefully picking up a 13 S4 auto, 84k miles Super excited to upgrade from an a3

Why dont my b8 s4 have a drive select😢

What kind of number plate holder on b8? I am looking something like that

Yikes, the mismatched carbon fiber patterns bugs the hell out of me lol

Can you ask the b8.5 owner where he got his s4 badges? I was looking for some yellow ones to match my calipers and fogs but couldnt find anywhere to buy them. I was just going to use some vinyl if nothing else

anyone know if the shifter from the s4 b8.5 will fit the b8? Thanks

Super useful buying guide. Can you or anyone else please tell me more about the sport differential and the dsg fluid (is that only for automatics?) - apologies I’m completely new to Audi’s but very obsessed and looking forward to buying an S4. Thanks!

Should have used a flash light for the details of the interior... thanks for for the info

Theres also a orange like interior in the B8 S4.

Do you have any info on the grill of the b8.5?

for a daily, unmodified car should i get a b8 or b8.5 for reliability. totally understand everything is gonna be expensive. I just don’t know what model I should choose for “reliability”. which one should i choose?

Can you Interchange the stirring wheel and shifter to up date the b8??

Should I get a b8 s4 for 16k? 80some miles. I really want a b8.5 but I’m having a hard time letting go of 25k+ for a coming 10 yr old car

Found a 2011 Audi s4 with 120k miles for 12k idk if I should pull the trigger. Lmk your thoughts! Thank you!🙏

Did you say which subwoofer you replaced the stock B&O one with?

140k miles 2010 S4, is high mileage a big issue on those?

I’m looking for a manual b8, but some of these prices are insane just because it’s a “rare option”

IMO the b8 looks way more aggressive then the 8.5

I have a b8 s4 manual a must for me for the sport car feel- I also just bought a c7 A6 3.0t and the automatic zf8 trans is good for me only as a 1/4. - but I didn’t like the canyons with auto - manual a must for the full control - auto needs a trans tune a must - maybe once I tune I’ll like it a bit more just not enough as manual -

You said that your 100k miles is a high mileage car... Did you actually mean that? I.e. 100k miles for this make/model/trim is actually a worrisome?

lol 200mph speedometer. Who thought that was a good idea

1000 dollars to change transmission fluid and filter? It's not even a difficult job...

I will take the 8.5, thanks

OMG! That location of the front plate are so terrible on the car. My nephew had the Merced E and stick it in the same spot. Ugly spot.. Other then that awesome car.

Can’t see shit on the in car portion 👍🏼

If you’re paying 1k for dsg fluid changes you’re getting scammed lol

SubWOOFer

I prefer not to have the tech in my Audi. Makes me more of a true driver. Without the backup camera and parking sensors and blind spot monitoring. I can drive anything without those. Those of you who're used to those things have to second guess. Not me!

It’s a shame that neither of these beautiful cars have the automatic transmission. 😢

Es mas bonito y mas actual el A B8 negro (black). La matricula delantera de A4 B8 plateado en un lateral le queda mal, parece una gitanada... Aunque prefiero el color plateado para el A4 como mi Audi A4. Saludos.

They not DSG

2011 looks beter
