And totally agreed on the German car thing... I am a patriot here, but that has nothing to do with driving these cars. I personally drive a 3-series, and personally, it "drives" a lot better than the S4 which I handled when I was over there... the steering did not have the feel ad pinpoint control of my 328i, not even close, and felt heavier too. The xtra power was nice, but I value control better. The only reason my cousin chose it over the BMW was because of the hills and snow there... but he may give into a BMW if he has to trash this car... we'll see. One time I test drove a CTS sports model, and that thing still handled like a boat, worse than the S4.

well for one you need to drive an S4 with a new suspension, coilovers would do the trick. idk why in the world they have such a sloppy suspension on them initially, but its pretty garbage for a car that weighs as much as it does. and whats up with the B6 S4 v8 engines?? i have 2 friends here where i live that own them. one of them the engine has already had to have been rebuilt, the other has to add 2 quarts of oil every month, barely even driving the thing. i was wanting to get into a B6 S4 a while ago, but due to so many horror stories, ive decided to continue putting money in my B5, which has over 160k but still runs wonderfully..

You are right, your non USA car has a BBK engine in it used from 11-04 to 06-08 from what my system tells me. Our US cars used the BHF 4.2 engine model series.
