This S6 is so puuure, man I'm stoked, only have about 300 miles on it so far. Bought it in amazing condition, after discussing the specific car with the seller & his Audi dealership / service dept. & APR tuner. In fact his tuner bought his last Audi for his sister, lol. It has the following mods, APR engine tune, APR transmission tune, and the APR "CPS" aka seriously larger cooling system. I thought I'd show you a couple pics so if anyone hasn't seen it - so you can see the difference. The operation, capacity, etc. is different as well & detailed on their site, along with the drastic reduction in heat soak effect. But I have the original OEM to show you the striking visual difference. It was a little difficult to get the right lighting conditions to see it well through the grill, but I think they came out ok.
I think at least I can understand why the APR tuner recommended this so strongly, after seeing the two compared.
Oh yeah, this thing is a beast! From any speed is pulls like a banshee. From a stop, a roll, passing, I was able to hit it hard one time from 80 to 135 and it was still accelerating faster than I could believe. Certainly a little different than my 2014 S4. I will post a few pics of the car in the comments. Has been ceramic coated in & out, film on front & mirrors etc., calipers powder coated, just a really nice example - kudos to the previous owner. Even came with extended Audi Care, he bought the APR Plus Care, built in Escort radar, all the ceramic shampoos & finish products, has almost new high performance all seasons on it now, and has an exta set of summer tires in their fancy Audi cases & everything lol.

The one change I'd consider is exhaust. I see you have had that done, any recommendations that wouldn't be too expensive? Mostly would be looking for some decent sound, but nothing over the top loud.

Yeah I'm a little pumped, lol. I'm 49 but I feel like a kid a Christmas. The only thing I would change, is the color. Black wasn't my preferred color, just due to difficulty of keeping it clean. I see your color & it reminds me of that fact - but everything else was too good to pass up.

I have the AWE touring exhaust. Outstanding sound, and can be mated up with the APR downpipes with a simple connector. Check with xcelerate, one of the sponsors on here. They can hook you up with the exhaust and connectors for likely just under $2k. In my opinion, it is the best sounding exhaust you will get for less than $7200K, the current lowest price for and Akrapovic exhaust, which is the gold standard for our cars. I've not been able to get my CFO at home to approve one of those yet, but hopefully one day. You might check the classifieds here as well.

wow, I've been considering adding on the CPS, what a crazy difference. congrats on the ride!
