Pics of my new B8 A4

[Kasaasta]

Hello guys!

I got my new A4 a few weeks ago and though I´d share some pics. Tell me what you think!
Yeah, it´s got go lower, so co´s or springs are on the way... Now it´s on sports suspension, 20 mm lower than standard.

[11move]

Pimp! I like it

[converted2audi]

white is so hot........not a huge fan of the rims tho.....but great looking car!

[Monchichi8]

love the car hate the wheels,they don't seem to match the flow of the car. I do however LOVE the white!nice choice.

[cellg8]

nice car, interesting wheels. thank you for sharing!

[Tiesto]

Do you live in your car?

[gods_kitchen]

I really don't like the rear all that much, and it seems like they forgot to design the side mirrors... But I love the front and side profile. Congrats and welcome

[pjh1988]

amazing.... nice ride sir

[91gl]

drop it, lose the wheels and your set

[jon102034050]

very nice - and btw I like your rim choice, its nice to see somebody that doesnt just throw a set of rs4 reps on there for once

[Tiesto]

Actually I'd like to see what RS4 reps look like on the B8.

[Kasaasta]

Tiesto - yup, I have to live in it, because that friggin´ car costs 65000 usd down here... No, just kidding.. I just fitted those wheels and two of the winter tires are on the back seat, with wheels bags of course. Wasn´t kidding about the price though

I too was amazed by the size of those mirrors, but I´m used to them by now. But they sure are huge!

The reason for choosing those wheels is basically what you guys already said: I didn´t want to go with the obvious BBS LM´s and RS4 reps. Yes, they look good, but you just see too many of them.
So I´m definitely going to keep those wheels However, I´ve been thinkin about panting the spokes white to match the car. Hmm, maybe I should do that??

And it will be lowered, but there´s not too many options yet. I´m looking into it.

Yup. Screw what everyone else is saying. It's your car that you paid for. Loving the front. painting the wheels might look sick too so yeah. Maybe ask "Good" people to photoshop it to see how it looks? Again, nice rideee.

[phEight]

How about some feedback on the car itself? Did you have a previous A4 before this one? How's it compare?

Congrats and nice car :)

I really don't like the way the exhaust looks

[Kasaasta]

I think there´s a very clear difference to the B7 in the way the B8 drives and handles. My previous car was a TT, but before that I had a B6. However, a good friend of mine has a B7 and I´ve driven a lot a that too.

The B7 tends to feel a bit nose-heavy, even with it´s new torque split. The front track version seems to have a strong tendency to understeer too. The overall feel of the B7 is a bit leaden, I think. Sure, it´s got plenty of grip, especially with good suspension. However, it doesn´t feel eager to change directions and you basically have to bully it a bit. IMO, it doesn´t flow that well, but more like tries to wrestle the road into submission.

The B8 is more flowing and feels nimbler. I´ve had just a few chances yet to go to b-roads, but those few times have felt very nice. Even though it´s a front track, it is willing to change directions quickly and without going off-balance. The factory fitted sports suspension is surprisingly good but you´ll definitely get better body control with co´s.

Steering feels a little heavy from the onset, but on the move it´s a good combination of feel and relaxed driving. On the b-road steering is even better. Audi moved the engine backwards a bit on the B8 and I think it was a very good decision.

I think the B8´s a big leap forward from the B7. No offence meant to you guys who have a B7! It´s a great car too, but the B8 moves the game forward.

What comes to the exhaust - I´m sure there will be aftermarket exhausts that gives you pipes on both sides, as was the case with tdi B6´s

[Renato]

Wow! Congrats and thanks for the pics!

[cellg8]

can you post some interior shots? Thanks!

[minira]

love the white. if you have any post pics of a direct shot of the front and the interior of course.

[toaster]

car looks great.

wheels don't suit the new style at all though.

general rule: chrome + audi = fail.

the b8 is damn near revolutionary for audi as a machine and what it will do for the brand as far as i am concerned. the b7 was nothing but an ugly b6...but the b8, a5, and s5 are definitely showing that audi is finally stepping it up to compete with bmw on the "cache" level.

[Kasaasta]

I´ll try to get some more pics in a few days.

What comes to those wheels - they´re NOT chrome. They´re polished aluminum, I´d never go with chrome wheels. I think that one should be able to tell from those pics that they are not chrome .

Since so many seem to think that the wheels suck, why don´t you guys give me some better options then ? But please, not "put on some rs4 reps". I think it´s boring if every A4 looks the same...

[Tiesto]

The B7 was definitely has more to it than the girlish looking B6 *cough*2.0T*cough* The B8 only continues the hotness.

[Sleepy 1]

Do you live in your car?

HAhaha, was just thinking that.

[Blake P]

Any idea what the offsets on the stock wheels were? I'd greatly appreciate it!

[Eurotuned_A4]

jesus my b5 is getting old, lol. nice car man!

+1.

If I remember correct it was 47 and wheel´s 7x17". Those new wheels seem to fit quite nicely

Do you mind double checking? It should be imprinted on the back of the spokes.

The wheels are stored at my friends place, which is about 65 km away. I´m quite sure that the oem et is 47 on 7x17 wheel.
The oem wheels are tucked quite deep in wheel arches in the A4.

Oh, by the way - why are you asking? In the process of buying, perhaps

[cellg8]

Interior shots???

I'm surprised to see such a high offset. I'm asking because I hope to use my current wheels (18x8/9" BBS RG-R) on the B8, but they have much lower offsets (ET35 up front and ET32 in back). I guess it will come down to how deep the stock wheels are tucked and how much room there is to play with.

You should be fine with those, if the center hole isn´t fixed at 57,1 mm. That´s the diameter on B7, but on B8 it´s 66,1 or 66,6 mm.
Those wheels I´m running are 8x19, et 35. They definitely don´t stick out, so you should be fine too.

Sounds like the B8 uses the same center bore size as I currently have on my Mercedes so it should be a direct swap. The BBS wheels use PFS (essentially hubcentric rings) to fit the same wheel on cars with different center bores. It would be great if I didn't even have to fuss with ordering new rings.

x2 ON THE RIMS
Santorin Blue still is da winnar

[Gigi]

Awesome car! Thanks for the feedback. I just decided to sell my a6 for a new A4 when it is available here! it looks hot, leabing toward the wagon, 2.0 and silver

[Kemiksiz]

Except the height and wheels - very bad choice for my taste, I'm sorry - its superb!

Share more pix please..

[dtsRsyx]

anodize the spokes black and get a good tint all the way around

The stock sport suspension has a nice look. In the Euro market, you get an S-line suspension that's even lower than the regular sport suspension, right?
I think it's another 10mm?

I like the lip on the rims, but I don't like the rims overall.
The rear is ok, but the matte black at the bottom looks basic simple.
The current B7 rear with the double exhaust tips looks MUCH better.

[AudiZ]

That's hot.. loving this car already. Do you have some interior pictures?

[02AudiS4]

i cant wait till i get it
