S4 2.7 Bi-turbo

[Scho]

Hi guys,

These are looking very tempting, What are the realworld running costs of such a beast?

Got rid of my M5 when a pair of discs and pads cost me £550, Do we think the S4 is any cheaper to run?

I'm thinking it's probably not but i'd be interested to hear it from the horses mouth!

Cheers guys.

Just bought one today, get one thats been reasonably well looked after and you should minimise your risks.....but a car with two turbos is not without its risks!

If you are really worried you are probably better off with something like a 330i?

I've had mine a year now and love it. Average 20.8 mpg even when pushed on. I bought front grooved discs and black diamond pads front and rear for £206. Timing belt and service from an independent was about £550. Insurance is just over £300.

I don't find the car expensive to run at all. It's a lot less expensive than i thought and it has been a superb car. I would highly recommend an S4. Good luck in your decision.

About 260bhp aren't they?

But easily tuned , and being twin turbo the tuning gains are pretty much limited only by £
