B5 S4 difference per year
I've searched this forum a few times with a few different phrases and havent come up with anything. PLUS, if we can get enough great information, then we can sticky this for the new B5ers looking.
I'm looking to buy a B5 S4. But I have no idea the difference between the years. (not just badge, though we should add that to this as well.) Example: Why would I buy an 00 over an 01 with more miles, as I'm seeing more 00's on the market.
The only thing I've visually discovered is a badge difference between 00-02, and a button marked ESP.
ANY information on this topic would be sweet. If it's already out there (adn I'm double posting), then add the link to this post and lock it.
This would be beneficial. Thanks guys.

00 ----> NO ESP, Bosch sensors/MAF, body color mirrors
01 ----> ESP introduced, Hitachi MAF/sensors, new badges, and chrome mirros with sport package
01.5----> larger turbo oil lines, no more f-hose
and a few minor things

If you can pick out a 2001.5 or newer. In short 2001.5+ has M-box ECU for manual, no f-hose, revised TBB, different oil inlet lines, possibly changed shifter stalk, polished aluminum mirrors w/ sport package, new badge, and the Avant model. I believe all 2001+ have the traction control button. Other than that the two are the exact same. Older means more miles, but thats specific to individual cars.

And yeah theres the whole badge difference too, gauge cluster, steering wheel, grill, and trunk.

The new badges came with the '01.5, not the '01.
