Bit late onto this thread but only just got login after years of just reading never posting. Owned this B5 S4 for nearly 4.5 years and loved every second, has done nearly 133K but to me it drives like new. Had new turbos fitted last year which was eye watering but worth it. This one has been tuned and lowered by K Collins and has the usual Miltek etc, what makes this a little different is that it came factory fitted with RS rear spoiler.

Looks very nice, I have one too. BUT....you should start your own thread for your car, put up plenty of pics 
Have you done a thread for yours? pardon me if you have and I've already seen/commented on it, it has been a long day

Not sure why, but this picture cracks me up!
Update:
Had the Passenger side rear wheel bearing fail all of a sudden on way to work yesterday morning, it had been running silent from all four corners then yesterday morning a slight hmmmmmmm that literally 5miles later became a more prominent wurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that came and went as I loaded/unloaded that side of the car and could tell straight away what corner it was coming from.
I've had wheel bearings go on other cars before but none have gone as quickly as that!
Made a call and got a bearing same day by 15:00, finished work at 17:00 then got busy....new bearing done and dusted by 19:30.
Not a bad job tbh, did it off the car and had to disconnect the ABS sensor from under the rear passenger seat and pass it through that way as the sensor wasn't coming off the hub at all...We marked the camber adjuster plates so all went back together exactly as it came off.
All running silent again this morning.

Update:
She has been tucked away in the garage at home for the last week and half due to the flood water, I'm not risking her through it so I'm using the S60 D5 daily while MissB uses the XC90 T6 ((her route to work has deeper water to navigate).
I don't miss the hard seats but I do miss the sound and performance.

Still nothing to report, still a lot of flood water along the valley here so she's tucked away polished and fully cleaned inside and out in my garage with an optimate looking after her.
Hence my commuting duties are shared between S60 and XC90 depending what vehicle type MissB needs to use of different days (horsey girl so she has to get bales of hay and suchlike)
I'm really missing not using my S4 daily.
View from XC90 at the weekend, I'm NOT driving my S4 through this sort of thing:

lol I just found the pics from when I washed/polished her prior to hiding her from the flood water.

After about 4hrs:
Interior another 4hrs:
How she looks right now (looks odd as the bonnet propped open for optimate lead)and will do so until the flood waters clear off (seems to be taking forever!
