Confused?! I know it is a for some a minor thing, but colour is important. Like I said other than that it is what we are looking for

Haha, I meant, it was the wrong colour, wrong seats otherwise perfect.

Well she's gone - to another dealer in the end, came up with a chunk more loot than the trade in I'd been offered so only a moderate wallet raping in the end rather than a severe one. Collecting the M135i on Saturday morning all being well.

Thanks for all the help and advice gents - if they bring out a manual when the B9 S4 comes out I'll be back!

Good news mate, if you don't mind me asking how much did you get in the end? I also hope the bring out a manual S4 B9, until they do I will be hanging on to my manual B8

£25k in the end, not great but could have been worse I suppose

Yes - hang on to that manual! I loved mine...

I finally got around to changing the gearbox and diff oils, both were quite black and needed changing. I can post a picture up later if anyone is interested?

Probably a little bit of a breach - the mods might get antsy. Selling via PH or elsewhere?

No harm (I don't think) of linking to your PH ad once it's up...

[JulianHJ]

You can edit or delete it yourself to avoid the wrath...

You lot seem quite spooked. How bad is the wrath?

Really, REALLY mean stares, some persistent tutting and you'll not be offered a second biscuit.

Or something like that.

Had my S4 serviced on Wednesday by my local main dealers and thought I had best check the oil level yesterday on the dipstick, it seemed dirty so I drained it out..

40 miles of use:



My thinking is that it has only been topped up and not changed?

[Hol]

How many miles?

I forgot to mention that mine turned up last week.

Just need to put my PH sticker on it.





I went for the silver sports seats, and glad I did.

Very nice mate, no MMI dial?

I know, just didn't want to believe it. £324 for an oil, oil filter and pollen filter change... Best check the pollen filter too..

It's built into the front panel. Not the gear stick surround.

Didn't realise they had moved the Dial. Any chance of a picture of the dash? interested to compare the older B8 to this latest model.
