I know that I’ve missed the boat on the best lease deals but is there any good deals still out there for the S5 sport back.

I was thinking of ordering the new S4 because there’s some good deals out there but I can’t get away from the fact that I prefer the S5.

Take the S4 deal - it is still 50 a month cheaper than the best SB that were seen. Depends how you would feel if the S4 deal goes by and no S5 SB deals come through. They are essentially the same car underneath and from the drivers seat. The S4 actually has a better front end.

I agree!

Me too unfortunately .

To be fair they look more like them. Tough angle on the pic to be precise.
On one hand they are very expensive but at the same time if you lease you can sell them after and get most of the value back. I know a few people that did this with the Golf leases.
For Nav blue would you get silver ones or go with Gunmetal? Would you go 20"?

The website only lists S5 from 2009 to 2015......would they still fit??

Called them up. They aparantly have a new fitment for these. Got quoted £2280.00 Inc VAT for 4 x 20" x 10 with Falcon FK510 - 70 noise rating tyres for my SB delivered.

Opinions on this setup please as tempted to order them.

I’d go for it - look dogs danglies

I was thinking of the gun metal for my nav blue and 20".

If you want to see it on a B9, search for Wize on YouTube or Projects5nardo on Instagram.

I think they will look awesome. I checked his Instagram out and they really suit the car. Did sick up a bit in my mouth at seeing Nardo Grey though. My hatred for those greys grows stronger every day.

I can't decide if I should buy gun metal or silver as I like both! also I like these....BTW the S5 is a SB in metallic black and want to fit 20" x 10 all round.



Opinions please!

The pictures saved under my contacts on my phone started to appear on the MMI screen and on the VC when I make or receive a call, which I'm not sure is a new thing or whether I've inadvertently switched something on?

Anyway, I'm going to have to change the picture of my wife. I'd managed to capture one of her "Ohh really, grow up you idiot" faces, and stuck it on there as a laugh, but I can't handle seeing it plastered on my screen in my car for the entire conversation, as I just keep looking at it and saying in a meek voice "yes dear".

[beeej]

That's normal behaviour. For me (android phone) its done that since I got the car

Anybody want my spare roofbars? Going cheap as I am moving house on Monday

Funny enough I noticed that too via iPhone! Never did it before. I wonder if there was an OTA update or something. I also have a comedy pic for the wife

On a different note, noticed this today. Imagine if it was your car.........

Hahaha!

I bet it didn't cost anywhere near that they just like to exaggerate for headlines.

Had a weird thing with the S5 this week. Leaving for work one morning, I found the windscreen wipers in the up position. Nothing shifted em. Had a dig around in the MMI and found "wiper service position" was set. Unticked it and the went back to normal.

Hi all...

So, my coupe (delivered march, 6500 miles, zero issues except seat belt feeder)... in the last 2 weeks, its put me in limp mode (limited to 3500 RPM), 3 times...

Got the orange warning signal, and 'start/stop error' message... called audi assist both times, and they arranged to send someone... but after pulling over and leaving it a bit, then restarting, the error disappeared...

Yesterday it happened again, so I waited for the assistance guy to come this time. Real nice bloke from the AA turned up, told me its a known fault and it would need to go back to audi for a couple days.

Just wondered if anyone on here had had the same? I googled it and saw people talking about the window drop problem, but nothing on this one.

So apologies if its already been discussed, ive not been on here for a while. Cheers in advance...

Ref the alloys I've got an S4 Avant on order and don't really like the standard alloys or the two upgrade options. I was passing by Audi Slough the other day and they had an S4 Avant with the standard Audisport 19 inch wheels off the new RS4 fitted.. Looked great IMHO.. They look a bit weedy on an RS4 but just right on an S4. Not sure if these will be an option soon but would definitely be interested if they are..
