Good luck everyone 🎉
🤭 ano ill not be able to sleep calv 🤞
Does the car vertical report check for outstanding finance? Doesn’t say it does? Very expensive for a check if it doesn’t
The B7 RS4 will never get old
It will and we will all get old with it. Poor kids of today will Have to reminisce about Tesla’s
Its already old😅 might always be good tho
Legendary wip only the gangsters had it back in 05-07
One of the best imo
Timeless Design simply unreal ! Will own mine forever
I know the owner who did all the work to this car including the ceramic brakes! It was used for the Nurburgring but had everything it could ever need regardless of cost!
Best looking audi in my opinion, love the shape of these so much
most deff agreed fully needed to buy one 👍
Im surprised calv didn't mention that the steering wheel is staright out of a lamborghini gallardo and they even came with lambo brakes. Also how Jeremy Clarkson said the engine in the b7 rs4 is one of the best engines ever.
R8 and Huracan way more alike than Gallardo and R8.
@@hexagonosaurus5848 Nope, the R8 never had this steering wheel.
@@NubletPie278 sorry, I dont know much about these Volkswagens
Awesome cars. I’ve got a B8.5 RS4 but the B7 still has it for me in terms of looks.
Calvin, I have a B7 A4 special edition that I'm building, doing injectors and ecu from a BKD into a BRD, and the exterior design is based from an RS4, absolutely love these cars mate 😀 👍
Love your vids,keep seeing the focus st in the background, would love to see a video on this car as have not long since bought one and think they are an amazing drivers car. All the best Calvin
I’ve had 3 S4’s. 1 really clean manual B6 Avant. B6 auto very well specced. And now onto a B7 Avant Auto with I think most if not all spec options. Brilliant cars.
Was waiting on my favourite youtuber and most humble youtuber to review my car.....well done Calvin, pitty you sold it again.....was looking forward to some good content
One of the best Audi on the road, it still a good looking beast 😊
I just bought a 2007 S4 Avant for taking the kids to school, love it, and mint for an old car, alot more fun than an ev thats for sure
I know it’s hard to believe but Wingbacks AND Flat bottom lambo steering wheel were standard on these - no charge.
You could swap out the wingbacks for the comfort seats and you could also change the steering wheel to a standard Audi round style wheel which some people (crazily) did, but yes most B7 RS4’s will come with the wingbacks and the FBSW and they were free to spec.
This only applies in the UK and Europe. In the US they had to put up with the comfort seats and the standard steering wheel.
fack wish mine had the seats and steering wheel here in Canada 🇨🇦 man o man I wish
@@lancegallant3647 haha what’s crazy is RS4’s are so low in the UK at the moment in terms of price. You can pick up a rough one that has FBSW and wingbacks for £11-12k
@JC_46 wow here in Canada one with wing backs flatbottom low km 50-60 k
@@lancegallant3647 yeah the market is crazy in the US and Canada. Surprised someone doesn’t just ship them out to you guys and make some profit! Mine has FBSW and wingbacks and only 75k miles :)
@JC_46 Beautiful rs4 brother:-) nice whips We have ! mine has 105000 miles New clutch brakes walnut car clean kwv3 coils timing chain coils plugs deflapping so much work she feels bran new 😑 love her :-)
Calvin: Favourite purchase of the week
Me: Favourite purchase of my life
me 2 had to get 1 so should U won't be a pinch of disappointment
Love this generation RS4, always wanted one but went C7 RS6 instead.
More RS cars please :)
I love RS4's man.. don't even know a lot about them aside from all videos I watch.. but I just got an S3 a year ago so I'm LOVING the Audi game..
Love these RS4s one of the best in my opinion! Great video Calv!
Even to this day there still a stunning car
Wingbacks were standard, but some buyers speced the free option of Recaro electric comfort seats.
More information or bit of a buyers guide especially for stuff like the RS4 would be very welcome 👍🏻
Such a beautiful car calvin! Nice bit of stock for sure 💯
It’s not a Sunday without a video off you bro 👌🏻
B7 RS4 never ages look how good it still looks 😍
I’ve owned a B7 RS4 it was epic I’d love one again but unfortunately wouldn’t be able to run it currently
Loving the vids, especially around this price range, along with e46 m3 and Honda dc5, maybe selling my e36 m3 so these are the cars I’d be interested in, would like to see you do a Vauxhall monaro vxr8
👍
Awesome car with an awesome sound track. Would like to see a vid on either the Focus ST, silver Porsche or blue BMW 4 series that were in the background of the video at the start. tbh I would actually prefer to have the "comfort" seats as the don't seem to have the high wearing issue the wing backs suffer from. non the less awesome vid Calvin.
I had a mint Daytona grey Avant a couple of years ago, Couldn't live with those seats and a manual gearbox everyday so swapped it for a V10 RS6 (also with those carbon ceramics). Your RS4 is doing good power mines dyno'd at 370hp 😂
Hi calv, it would be great if u could get a mini jcw 2015-2017 with the pro exhaust possibly on the channel, I think you would love it
Car vertical was perfect when we purchased our recent car, well worth it. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Mate I can watch and listen to you talk about cars all for as long as you wanna record for. Your funny and entertaining as well as knowledgeable and interesting. If you've got the time to record for longer I'm in to watch as I'm sure everyone else will be.
Cool car but I think for the 10k saving on an s4 will pay for alot of fuel
Gorgeous looking saloon, it's aged beautifully
Proper drivers car - none of this tiptronic dual clutch . 🔥
Great car reminds me when Calvin had the beast RS6
Notifications on point with Calvin dropping a banger as per
What a monster! Love the stance and sound!
that car is one of the cars thats on my wish list ,,,love it
Personally I like the look of the saloon, cracking sound of the V8 😃😃
All rs cars imo are just awesome. A little more so with the older one's but in general wicked cars.👍👌
Please try and do more videos on this car!
What a car!! I had one similar also with Miltek on it. I enjoyed it before got hijacked at gunpoint
Mine just sits in the garage over winter. I get my fix watching rs stuff on UA-cam to see me through to spring.
Just personal choice, rather use what I class as disposable cars during winter, for example the wife's q5 means nout to me 😂
Sundays and Wednesdays are my favourite days of the week thanks to you Calvin keeping my fingers crossed for that golf 😂
I had one, best car I ever had, really nice everyday car, very expensive to run though.
Love these, been obsessed with them since they first came out, still haven't owned one yet.
Those B7 RS4's are just awesome cars. That one sounded amazing but maybe a bit too full on for daily driving.
The B9 S4 doesn't have an S-tronic gearbox they have zf 8spd auto's in them 😉
Those seats were known for getting stolen, the insurance would write the car off as audi stopped making them. I think a new set were like 18k because audi had to make them from scratch
Nice car 🚗 love mine what a machine 👏 great video bang on
Pretty sure that you could spec carbon ceramic brakes from factory on the b7. Seen a couple with them. I might be wrong tho 🤔🤔🤔
Not the very early ones. Wasn't available when I ordered mine.
Got a mint S4 04 cabriolet, silver, red leather, miltek 71k.... been wanting to sell or swap for ages as don't drive it but get offered silly money for it considering the current used car market. Thiml.the crazy fuel prices the last year hasmt helped 😩
Congrats on the purchase of the RS4.
Have to correct you though because the RS4 4.2L V8 is far superior and different than the S4 V8.
Absolute beast love them. Great buy Cal 💪👍💚
What a lovely car Calvin they look so nice.
Calvin off for a spot of lunch, no quinoa, salad there I bet, just a nice bit of roast beef 😊
Such a cool car. Be a nice car to just go out a blast in all weathers. Oh and calv since the R, the M3 and the alpina came on planetofdreams. I have decided to finally become a dream catcher. All for a good cause and funds this epic channel.
Seen this and have been patiently waiting 🤪🎉
Ooo excited for this one, love the b7
I'm refurbing my b7 with 62k genuine, 9 k in n can't wait for summer keeping it standard barring drc .... guy in Midlands doe's a replacement/ sweet
One of my all time favourites 😍
I was in 2 minds to get a rs4 but wanted something newer so brough a golf r stage 1 mapped it pretty quick ran a 3.8 0-60 such a nice car to whip around
The problem with the Golf R is that they have zero soul, sound crap and are everywhere on the roads. Not even in the same universe as a B7 RS4.
@@JC_46 i agree there not the best sounding car compared to a rs4 but the problem with the rs4 is finding one that’s not been abused and the repair bills if it goes wrong .golf is newer cheap to run cheap to tune and quicker than a rs4 I raced one few weeks ago gapped him
@@Peopleater1987 if it’s about beating a car at the lights then maybe a mapped golf R is for you but there’s so much more to a car than that! The golf is definitely cheaper to tune and maintain though that’s for sure.
@@JC_46 for 12 grand it’s the best car money can by
What a fantastic sounding car 🤩
Definitely think when you get a car like that on your channel and do a video the entire market goes up due to demand 🤣
If that head gasket receipt includes the timing chain/tensioners then that's a huge selling point. When people in the know are looking for an RS4 they will immediately be looking for this at the top of the list otherwise they will be haggling hard! You can also add a few bob for those ceramic brakes, they were an option on the B7's. Great investment/weekend cars, but not so much as a DD due to them being absolute money pits. High tax (this one could *possibly* be in the lower bracket though) and always pretty low mpg but most buyers should be aware aware of that and just looking for that V8 roar and rumble. But IMO the decat ruins that example, they sound much more deep down rumbly with the OEM cats. And don't expect any more than around 360-390bhp if it hasn't had a carbon clean recently, the buildup hits the performance and economy really hard on these. Still a fantastic machine though, definitely on a lots of peoples' bucket list and has a lot of mileage in that 'ol V8 yet!
Since when are head gaskets/timing chain tensioners an issue on these cars? Not saying they aren’t I’ve just never heard that to be an issue with the B7?
@@JC_46 They are a maintenance item at around 100k or so (according to audi) and a huge job as the entire front subframe and engine needs dropped to replace. Granted, these are not as weak a point as on the S4 V8, those are guaranteed to fail at some point but that 7k bill seems a bit expensive to be just a head gasket on a B7. You are right though, they aren't an "issue" as such, but can instantly kill the engine if it ever stretches/snaps.
@@sarcastixx74 yeah that’s fair enough. Sometimes I wonder how well Audi know their own cars. I’m on all of the owners clubs/forums and this is never really spoken about as an issue on the B7 RS4. The S4 yes but not the RS4. If anything it’s deemed to be a really rare and unusual issue if it does occur.
@@JC_46 True, the metal guides on the tensioners make the chains on the RS4 much more reliable compared to the crappy plastic used on the B7 and B8 S4's. My own stage 2+ B8 has just hit 81k miles and occasionally has around a quarter of a sec slap on start up. I only move it every other weekend so like most owners I'm not gonna worry about it till it lasts longer and starts to happen every start. I just wonder what was involved in that 7 grand job though! I'm pretty sure a head gasket should only be around half that? The S4 seems to be more of a money pit than its' bigger brother which makes it even more desirable but the B8 variants are much more tunable for relatively little outlay.
@@sarcastixx74 yeah seems very steep at 7k. The S4’s are quite problematic. I know it’s easy to sit here and say it but I’d rather just save up that bit more and buy the RS than own just an S car, especially if it has problems. Labour isn’t cheap on these RS cars though! I love the B8, especially if it’s got the optics pack - looks so mean from the front. I went for a B7 myself just because I wanted a manual V8! Mines also Stage 2 running 450bhp and only on 70k so hopefully many happy miles still to come! Enjoy your B8 - the 4.2 V8 is a must own, what an engine.
Wing backs were a no cost option, you had a choice of these or the comfort seats
They still sell for silly money
Evil GT Ben gonna be jealous 😂
Superb motor!
Best looking audi every made in my opinion, them cars used to get wrote of back in the day because people used to steel the front seats and back then they were mega money so insurance would catagries it!
Still love these
Still needs a lot of work done on Bodywork inter as well about 4k still .is been Raged ?
Such a sick car! Loved this video!
What a beautiful car unfortunately we don't get the RS4 in North America.
Mah Shaa Allah nice spec beast 🚀
Love this shape rs4
Epic spec foo
Gotta pay massive spec bills soon
Legend car, after the ford cosworths and subaru sti and evo5 RS4 and 08 M3
RS4 was in Sprint Blue not Nogaro Blue
at 4:40 u say it was stage 2 tuned then at 17:12 u say its stock and not been tuned.
Lovely car mate
In my opinion ceramic brakes aren't best option for daily car. They are expensive, needs good warm up and they are loud sometimes. I've seen a guy in comments that said that this Audi was flying around Nordschleife so ceramic brakes make sens then otherwise never again for daily.
Bilstein B7’s are the go to suspension
Rs4, my favorite favorite 😍
Video coming on that teg in the background?👀
I’ll get #ONIT mate 🫡
@@CalvinsCarDiary what we like to hear mate! 👍🏻
I guarantee you it won't be 414bhp unless it's had a carbon clean recently...the b7rs4 is renowned for carbon build up which usually costs around £700 for a clean...had mine on a Dyno yrs ago when I had mine and was only pushing 370bhp..fantastic cars but with the carbon issue and the fact you can't tune them unless you put a supercharger on them at a cost of 10k I didn't see the point of keeping it long...
Pretty ill informed then arent you. 443hp put of mine after about 3k spent. The noise alone makes me keep it as the 3rd motor…
S4 & RS4 B7 did not share same V8 as claimed @ 1:45 😂
Are the rear brakes ceramic or just fronts
Just sold mine after 6 years of ownership used a weekend car just watched the video now I want it back 😭
I wonder if this will ever be an appreciating classic ?
I thought RS4 started on o4 plate not 06 plate ???lets me knows your thoughts
That's the b5. This is the b7. Started from 2006
Okey dokey 👍👍
Actually just double checked b7 2005 very early models on a 05 plate
@@shaundavies1200 won't be an rs4 then. Maybe an a4
@@hxrxxn_ defo early rs4 05 plate
Didn't the mclaren have ceramics cal?
Stop parking in the middle of puddles Calv lol
Ceramic brakes were a cost option on the B7 RS4
You’ve had a right touch shifting the B6 S4 quick as nobody wants them
You know everybody do you ?😂 how’s that under powered v6 you got ?🤣
Stonechips = tailgaters rash
What a machine this is!
Loved my rs4 b7 estate
i have a audi a3,this is a stunning audi rs4 car cal,you get some nice motors.take care.
Lovely motor bud why not get a B5 S4 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beauty ! 😍😍
Wish they always offered a saloon model hate the look of estate cars.
Beautiful car
I miss my B7 so much
It was not the same 4.2 motor...
How much 😵
