It's encouraging to see people that still appreciate these cars. It has been sad to see how many people sell theirs for B9s, RS3s, or G80s when these are seemingly such solid cars in how well they can hold power even with high mileage. Makes me want to keep mine for as long as I can

b8s and b5s arguably the best generations of Audi S4 personally own 2 b5s and a b8 too

400,000km. Wow that’s a beauty. I love the content man.

would love to see an update on this car & how the build is coming!! Love high mileage, well maintained projects like this.

Pretty set on buying a B8 or B8.5 this year. Probably from a dealer, dont want a warranty, wanna get something stock I can work on. I work at an audi dealer and have a lot of friends who are willing to teach me how to work on it and go through things with me which I think will be really beneficial to me. The issue is finding one with good miles and service history. it's hard to not let miles scare me lol.

Clean car man! I did the upper timing chain tensioners (among pretty much every other service) on my 12 A6 3.0T at 140k due to timing chain rattle at startup but she’s running great now & starts like new. Hoping to make it another 100k at least. Still on stock tune but I’ll probably tune it in the next couple months

Watched your old videos in a binge because I semi-recent got an 2013 Audi A4! You're so wholesome and insightful :D wonder if you're going to get a honeycomb grill for this one!

Picked up one with 115k off the first owner. Black/black DSG 2015. No lights on the dash and only “mod” is a set of BBS wheels that came with it. Found your channel and I’m about to run through it. Any maintenance/mods are greatly suggested. I’m watching your videos in a marathon now!

great video man, really like your attitude. keep on doing good stuff :D

Can’t wait to see the build

Nice find! I've been window shopping these. Would be my first European car.

Wife n i have a 2015 S4 IE intake and IE stage 1 tune & transmission tune. Came with AWE exhaust. I have beat a 2018 SS 1LE Camaro with Corsa exhaust & a bone stock 2012 Grand Sport Vette. Bought car with 54k miles i did have the DSG serviced and change oil every 5k miles Liquid Moly. Car currently has 60k miles runs like a top fun car probably won't mod any more other than a Merc racing heat exchanger. Car gets babied for the most part some some pulls here n there.

Dam 250k and it still looks good exterior wise

If only I could find one with somewhat low mileage and a 6 speed manual 😭 theres a reason why the market is flooded with auto trans B8s 2013 - 2016 but hardly any manual trans for sale 😢

thinking about getting one of these with about 50k miles in about 4 months!

Should look at jackal Motorsports stage 1 tune, they’re going for pretty cheap compared to other tunes like 034 and IE

Looking at buying one that’s a clean title 2014. Engine went boom after oil change went bad, replaced the engine with a 2012 a6 3.0 with 90k on it. While putting it in they did pvc, water pump, thermostat. Asking 13.5k. Body and dct have 117k on them. Opinions ? I kinda like the deal, car is white and very clean, I like that the motor work was done, a 3.0t is a 3.0T engine and feel should be the same. DSG service was done on time too

Yeah all the B8.5s (A4/S4/A5/S5/RS5) are fantastic cars and highly underrated which is great for people who are "in the know" because we get to pick them for a great price. Just need one that's been maintained properly (plus NOT tuned) and if you stay on top the maintenance (5K oil changes), they are very reliable cars. All basic and advanced services are easily DIY and there's tons of YT tutorials. For oil changes, get a fluid extractor and you can do it w/o lifting the car and it'll take 15 minutes. DON'T DO THE RS grille! So overdone. I think just OEM Audi Rotor wheels, stock height, maybe a Valvetronic Exhaust, enclosed intake and that's it. It's not boring, it's CLEAN. I'd probably do a PPF color change though (sorry, the only red cars I'd consider are Ferraris, lol). I'd also consider a Stage 1 APR ECU & TCU tune if you need a little more hrsprs.

Let me know when you’re ready to sell it or any parts of the car u would get rid of.

wow nice survivor, and need keeping givin some love to keep it alive. But please , no exhaust on a automatic car, cmon, after people running serious built and ''need'' to shift by sound, get pulled over by cops because of kids annoying people with a loud automatic shift.

Subbing because I like your taste

crashed my 340i mid last year and picked up a 1 owner 80k mile b8 s4 6mt

How much was it?

Why do you keep just staying with S4s? The B8.5 is such a nicer looking car... I do own one but a lot of people agree that's its far better looking cuz of 2 doors.

Can’t wait to see the build
