Hey guys -

Used to have a 2000 nogaro, got myself into a 2008 RS4 that I've had since 2011, fast-forward to Friday of last week, and I just picked up a 1,700 mile 2015 Prestige, every option (including sport diff) nogaro blue S4. Very excited to be back in the nogaro club!!

Only mod so far is the R8 coolant & oil caps. Going to purchase this very shortly:

Here's a couple of pics! Excited to learn a bunch about these cars. For some reason, the car is missing the spare tire plastic screw that holds it down. Will have to stop by Audi for this today.

Nice red+blue cars. My gf has a white 328i for now so I wish I had a blacked out s5 instead of my Estoril blue. She just decided to get a Q3 next year when her lease is up.

[Dannydyn]

Awesome! Hope to meet you and the car in person soon! Congrats!

My favorite color for the S4. Congrats!

[NastyNogaro]

Thanks everyone! Can't believe how active this forum is.

So it looks like the EPL tune is the best bet for these cars huh? I am coming from the B7 RS4 world, so I am literally jumping for joy with the amount of aftermarket options for this car. I love that carbon fiber airbox from ECS also.

My car goes to Eurotech MS in Mahwah, NJ next week for the full XPEL treatment to protect this smurf, and also 15 or 20% tint all around. Loving the black optic package, so happy I found one of these fully loaded nogaros close enough to my house. Most seemed to be on the west coast!

[Sales@DriveAuto]

The Nogaro edition/package is one of my favorite on the B8.5 - just looks awesome.

[jsh139]

Congrats! Love Nogaro.

[S4 00 2.7]

love the color

[Pyromatic177]

Best color and interior combo. Looks so good

[rulaxin12]

Wow looks awesome! I had teh b6 nogaro with blue seats... Seeing it updated into the b8.5 makes me smile. +1 on Eurotech !

[chaos2984]

Man I hate you. I love that color but didn't want to spend the extra for it. Nice car. You will enjoy the power

[DannyDeez]

Congrats on the car! Welcome back. I'm pretty sure we swapped bumpers on our nogaro B5's many years ago. I remember when you went to the RS4 side. What an awesome car it is.
I go to EuroTech as well. Top notch shop.

[Sean@APR]

Awesome look! I love the seats.

[14S4GWM]

Very nice, order the intake soon to get the $50 gift card. Not sure how much longer the sale is going to be on.

Heres some good reading for ya.

my god those seats are just perfection

[Dannydyn]

Love the perforated leather steering wheel. Wish the 2014s had it.

[NastyNogaro]

Thanks guys!! I have a lot of reading up to do. Been so busy I haven't even been able to enjoy the car yet.

Haha no way!! I do remember meeting you back in the day and grabbing your Rieger bumper / RS4 grille. Good to see you are still in the Audi game as well! I love Eurotech - been going there since day 1. Danek and the guys always take care of me. Can't wait to start putting some parts on this car.

Lol yup the rieger! I haven't been able to leave the Audi game either. Bounced around between two B5's, then a B8.5 S5, B7 A4, whatever they're calling the new A3 lol and now the B8 S4.

Yea man I wish I knew about EuroTech from day 1. I didn't find them until 2012 when I got my S5. But they always take care of me as well. Awesome bunch of guys there.

[Brother Owl]

BO Nogaro with those seats - very nice, I like!

[NastyNogaro]

Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone!

Reading through the link 14S4GWM posted - awesome info, thanks again man! Definitely picking up that ECS carbon intake shortly. I doubt my local dealer will give me any issues about warranty. Weather has been such shit up here in NJ that I have left the car in the garage and have been taking my girlfriend's BMW to work

Edit: Oh and one more thing - stupid PO ran a front plate on this beautiful grille. So there are 4 holes in it. I really like this grille over the RS4 one, so I think I may try to fill them with a little plastic weld and make them less noticeable. Unless someone can convince me otherwise of course..

[14S4GWM]

^ No problem! I have the same grill and like it over the RS4 grill too.

[Boris]

you went full nogaro, shoot i didnt know they even still had the interior nogaro alcantra options. best color for our cars hands down.

[DOCEVG]

OP: wandered over here from RS4 forum as well (but I kept mine!)

Here's my new to me 6MT Nogaro edition which just arrived this morning. Love the color.

[BDP]

Congrats, awesome color!

[Shhmaudi]

Awesome find OP makes me miss my noggy. I see a few of you come from the B5 S4s, Any of you guys miss the stage b5 s4/power?

Mine was only stage 2+ with W/M injection, it was pretty fast. Never drove in a stage 3 so I can't comment on that.. But I love this new S4, it's great in Dynamic mode and I can't wait to get the Chipwerke and an exhaust as well.

Hey man sorry, just saw this post! I think I saw that car on Autotrader! Super low mile clean car! Initially wanted a 6MT but it was too far away from me, plus I wanted to trade my car in so I found this local dealer DSG one and test drove it, decided it would be better as a DD, and I love it so far!

Just a couple updates, latest purchase was the ECS Kolhfaser-Luft intake and I'm ordering the black RS4 grille tonight. Car is currently at Eurotech in Mahwah for an XPEL treatment, and 20% tint all around.

Will post some updated pics when it's done!

[DOCEVG]

If I did this right, here is a series of photos taken (really well) by the seller. Among other mods, car has an AWE touring exhaust and, maybe because of that, feels a bit quicker than my '11 DSG.
Haven't been out of Dynamic since I bought it. Gas mileage suffering!
OP: how do you like the intake?

Beautiful car man!! I can look at these photos all day! We need a nogaro specific thread

Didn't install the intake yet - the car is currently at Eurotech to protect its perfect paint and for 20% tint, she's sitting at 2,800 miles now.. I put 1,100 on her already! I ordered the RS4 grille since it was bothering me that they had drilled 4 holes into the beautiful stock black grille (Edit: eek, looks like you have the same issue! ), so Eurotech is putting that on for me as well. I will be installing the intake as soon as I get the car back, probably early Monday.

How do you like the AWE exhaust? That's next on my list, not really sure who makes the best system for our cars. I wanted to do the Chipwerke too since I want to keep the warranty on my car without getting flagged TD1 or whatnot.

Damn you. Hadn't noticed the holes until you pointed them out. LOL.

The AWE exhaust is certainly an improvement over the stock exhaust although, at idle, it sounds depressingly like my wife's X3. Under load, it gets quite a bit better but there's no getting around the fact this is a V6 rather than a V8. I have a full JHM exhaust on my RS4, and a Milltek resonated exhaust on another RS4, and, as you surely know, there simply is no comparison between those and the AWE exhaust on the S4. I toyed with the idea of throwing some non-resonated DPs on the S4, but concluded my marriage is more important than how my car sounds (she hates the RS4s).
