I finally got my car yesterday.

2005 A4 Quattro(B7) Quartz Grey
Sport pkge
Lighting pkge
Premium pkge
XM Satilite and Bose pkge
Cold weather pkge

I have put 200+ miles on it so far. The dealer told me not to exceed 4000 rpm for break in, but I am gonna keep it under 3000 til the breakin is complete. Better safe than sorry. Besides, bringing it home on the autobahn yesterday, 3000 rpm in 6th gear was 91 mph. So it could be alot worse. The car was tax free and sold almost a grand below Audi MSRP.

I love the car!! The only complaint I can think of is cosmetic. The nose is pretty much love it or hate it. I really like it, but I am not thrilled with the way the front license plate sits. On the German spec car, the Euro plates look good. On the US spec car, it kinda seems like the US market (plate) was an afterthought.

 

yea, that's pretty much how it goes...congrats on the new car, sounds pretty nice. lets see some pics!

 

Congrats! Lets see some pics ...

 

congrats on the new car

 

On the topic of break in there are many differnt theories..... More people are now saying not to take it too easy on your car during break - in. The service manager told me to make sure the car was warmed up properly and then drive normal...just keep it below redline until about 1000 miles. Also he said not to got out and stomp on the breaks allot.

Here is a link to a website that has a more controversial take on the brake-in period. It sounds as if it makes sense.
