I'm almost certain that I am going to get an A4 now.

I want a Black, 1.8T, Manual, Sport Package 96-01. I just don't know which exact year. Is it true the '01 has the most power?

Any help is appreciated.

 

Go with the newer style 1999.5 Its not DBW and it s goot the one piece headlights.

 

99.5

 

Everyone make sure to argue endlessly about how your model year car is superior to all others.


Ready, break!

 

Whats DBW? The 99.5-01 all the same?

 

Some of the 99.5s are completely drive by wire where as some of the others are not drive by wire...

 

they say 99.5 is the better engine to tune the AEB
it has the one peice headlights

All 99.5s are the ndbws, who ever said some are and some aren't have no idea what there talking about. 99.5s have all the better looking upgrades, and with aeb head. 99.5s are called "best of the b5s"

 

Wow you guys are a lot of help already. lol

In the thread that Panda posted I found this to be very very helpful:

Someone needs to sticky that or something. I have been looking for something like that on the internet for the last couple of days.

 

The whole dbw & ndbw thing is something I was told, so when did dbw start??
