Regardless of how many posts there are on this subject, I somehow missed the fact that the difference between the mid tier and top tier seats isn’t just the leather quality. The online configurator makes no mention about the carbon backs as only available with the semi-aniline leather upgrade...

My 2025 MT 5BW makes a slight chirp noise, like from serp belt, sometimes at low speed engagement, especially when cold. Meant to post here to ask, now watching this thread.

Manual, because my daily 20 minute commute was boring with all the high powered German sedans I have owned. You can’t open them up legally, so what was the point. Driving my manual 5BW daily is so much more enjoyable. I still have a high power German automatic auto for highway road trips, where...

I’m registered for the Nov 7-8 class, 5BW manual. Accommodations for nights of 6th and 7th were comped, as well as all meals except dinners. I’m going solo. I did decide to pay the $250 insurance fee to lower the deductible from $10k to $2k, figured that was worth the peace of mind since...

I like it, thanks for the idea. This solves the issue when my backpack isn't in the car when in my garage and the damn thing is locked. I'd rather have manual control over the lock function.

Typhoon plus Red calipers = Christmas time to my eyes. Maybe you want that.

Given that car key frequencies can be grabbed out of the air by bad actors, I've never been a fan of pushing the button on the remote to lock/unlock. What I've always used on my other cars is the proximity function of having the key in my pocket when next to the car, and grabbing the handle...

Bear in mind that extended idling also takes a toll on the engine oil, but is not necessarily reflected in the oil life indicator (which I think is mostly tied to miles driven). You may want to change your oil more frequently if you're doing a lot of idling. This is a real issue with fleet...

256GB card holds about 2 months of driving for me. I have the "auto overwrite" feature turned on. But when the card is full, it will not overwrite the existing files and stops recording. Is this a 2025 bug?

As an owner of an RS6 and 5BW, I can say they each have their place. RS6 is my choice for a long interstate road trip, with the potential for traffic, as my 5BW is a manual and doesn’t have any of the auto pilot features (or two pedals) the the Audi has. RS6, being a wagon, can really haul...

That ship may have sailed, they opened up Oct dates last month. Slots, especially for 6MT 5BW, fill really fast.

I’d venture the say that the goat rodeo may actually begin as soon as one decides to buy a BW. As we can all attest, even attempting to place the initial order is a wild ride.

I have the mirror camera, and after 1000 miles of forcing myself to acclimate to it, I just couldn’t do it. My eyes couldn’t focus fast enough to really pick up far detail, and I am always scanning for police-type vehicles in rearward traffic given my speed addiction on the highway. And I...

Passenger side is fine, mostly because it has a wide angle aspherical mirror. Driver side is the issue. It moves all the way, same as the passenger side, but it’s not a wide angle mirror and leaves a tiny (but big enough) blind spot.

Lol, one of my other vehicles is an F450, and you can't miss a thing with those side view mirrors, all angles are covered, and the wide-angle tow mirror inspired me to put a similar one on this car. I will admit that I once almost missed a car crossing in front of me with my F450, because of...
