Picked it up last Saturday (10/3/09). Had the windows tinted on Friday, and detailed it this morning.

AWESOME color and interior choice, looks superb. Hate those wheels, though. A drop and some tasteful aftermarket wheels will go a long way towards turning this car into something special to look at.

Like the white, do they offer a white 2 tone interior? Would have gone better I think.

It's actually 20%. I think the ambient lighting made it look even darker.

Thanks for all the compliments!
In my previous cars, I would very eager to mod the cars after I took delivery. But for some reasons, that eagerness isn't quite there for the B8, as well as the E92. Both cars are going to stay stock for a while.

That's kind of why I buy these cars: they don't need a thing.
When I was younger it always seemed like my cars always needed something, stiffer suspension or more power or whatnot. But to my mind these modern Audis are darned close to automotive perfection. And I'm not willing to sacrifice that on the alter of aesthetics.

Yeah, I wouldn't touch a thing on the S4, except maybe the height, and the ECU. [:D]

Saints be praised! That is a beautiful car! Glad to see you picked it up. That would have been a hard car to walk away from or get out of for any reason other than to use the bathroom and get more gas.
Enjoy that beauty!

as a owner of an 2009 Ibis TTS I think its the best color. Inside is spectacular.
those wheels have to go though..........sorry :(
amazing looking ride!
how does this compare to the BMW?
which one do you like driving better-which feels better?

Mods planned? Yes. Actually doing them? No. [:o] And I thought about the supercharged badges, but I may just end up leaving the V6T on the fenders. I don't know. I may also just debadge the V6T.

Nice Car Vwong...you have the 2 cars Im torn between. I will be getting one of these cars in May. I have driven both and from quick drives have noticed the BMW feels more connected to the road and the S4 handles like it is on rails. Can you do a quick comparison of the 2 cars and tell me which one you prefer to drive? (note to all...Im not trying to start a flame war here; I am looking to gain some honest comparison from someone who drives both these cars on a daily basis)

Thanks. For the track comparison, see this link, http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=325423.
As for daily driving, both have plenty of power to get up and go, and pass slower traffic with ease. The 335i rides a little stiffer than the S4, IMO. Many E9x owners have blamed it on the run-flat tires. I'm not sure, but I'll find out when I go with normal tires when those run-flat tires get worn.
In heavy traffic (like inching away every now and then), I usually stay in 1st (sometimes 2nd) gear, I find that the off throttle response is a little rough in the S4. Wondering if it can be fixed with an ECU tune (whether it's aftermarket or OEM ECU update). When in higher gears (like 5th or 6th), the off throttle response is pretty smooth in both cars.
I agree with you, the 335i feels more connected to the road, probably due to the feel of the steering wheel. It is much thicker than the S4, and feels heavier. The steering in the S4 does get stiffer as speed builds up, but definitely not as stiff as the 335i.
As for the question about which car I prefer to drive more, I can't tell you. It's very difficult to choose. My wife and I swap cars every month. The month I drive the 335i, I miss the S4; but then the month I drive the S4, I miss the 335i. So I really don't know. [:|]
