the new interior in the 2025 is horrible, its like they retrogressed to vw quality interiors that are just screens and cheap plastics of an unforgivable texture
and its not even a new platform either - they say it is - but its just an evolution of the mlb platform they have been using since 2007.
That's almost as old as the Nissan Z.
they kinda gave up, it's sad
the engine is ok - but both the a5 and s5 (they changed the name confusingly from 4 to 5 for the sedan) is hybridized in europe - but not in the us
every luxury brand besides genesis (and really that's only for their interiors) is very disappointing right now

it's only like $5k of parts, retains stock cat and it's plug and play

>they kinda gave up, it's sad
I havent been following them all that much but I think as a company they are just struggling. The a4 is set to get discontinued (?) or pulling out of the american market or something along those lines. They had oil consumption issues with some of their more common cars the last decade which tarnished their reputation to the point new models sales have diminished even though they supposedly fixed it (just like the last time they "fixed" it). The older 4.2 engine was great for power but basically had to be removed from the car to even work on it, and would fuck up all the time.... that is not what anyone considers superior engineering.

the a4 is now the a5 and continues, but basically its an interior refresh with same engines and same platform, and the new interior is SCREENS SCREENS SCREENS + cheap VW plasticparts.

I mean, yes, obviously there are better cars, but if you want a daily on the cheap, that's a good four-banger, especially if you have an IS38 on it. You can boost the fuck out of it. That being said, I'm about ready to graduate from I4s, so I think I'm going to go with that S5, and only because of the hatchback.

I don't know why people keep saying this. Rare colors sell for more on every single car you can buy out there. The problem is that people that actually buy new cars don't want colors other than NPC Grey, black, white, and the odd silver.

Yeah, they're absolutely gorgeous. Can't be beat for a do-it-all coupe for dudes who are too mature for a bimmer. I think the B8.5 is a bit prettier, and the supercharged engine made it feel and sound more unique. Of course, I'm a bit biased because I had one. It wasn't without its own problems, though.

i'm a bmw driver and hit vmax in it on public roads at least once a week. also go through a set of rear tires every 5k. i also own an audi and don't drive nearly as bad when i'm in that, i think because it's a lot more boring with the awd.

Regularily go 100mph+ on public road too. My commute doesnt have straights long enough for vmax

condensed oil vapor is gross, but it hardly carries particles. As long as the air filter does its job there is nothing solid to cake on and build up the layers. Some will even get picked up again by the intake air and burn as intended.
Even then, its just oil and any solvent mist will flush it out easy. Wihtout cleaning, in 30 years the head may get poop colored like the rocker cover on cars that never see an oil change, but you will not see the cross section reduction like on no filter egr diesel cars

It's $20k easier to start with a cool car that only needs a wrap, and not even that if you like NPC colors.
