Default Brand new owner! 2004 D3 A8L

I've been a B6 S4 owner for the last 1.5 years and sold it in July after picking up an E46 M3 a couple of months ago. Of course, I couldn't stay away, so last week, I got this:



Super excited to share and contribute on here. Luckily I didn't sell my ross-tech cable yet after I sold the S4. Guess I'll be keeping that cable now. I'll be driving this baby in the winter while the M3 hibernates. Looking forward to actually testing out quattro in the snow. My S4 was hibernated when I still had her.

Agreed. I don't recognize the wheels. I'm not always a fan of the usual aftermarket suspects, but those are nicely understated and work quite well. Who makes them?

Welcome!

On cable, see if what you have is the current CAN cable, or the older one that likely still worked w/ B6. I had to do the upgrade the offer when going from C5 to D3 (or any other newer one). Older one flat out doesn't work w/ car.

I'm good on the cable. Verified with Ross-Tech on it. I've got the HEX-USB+CAN cable, the one for $349 on their site.

The wheels are 20-inch Vossen CV1.
