After much drama, my past 3 months have been quite the crazy car times.

It started with the purchase of a 2016 S6 (Trading out of a 2015 BMW M5), which I realized after a month or so that I didn't like because I wasn't thrilled with the look or the handling.

Knowing the financial hit I would be taking, I purchased a 2016 S7, very loaded, and immediately lowered it and did the APR ECU tune. The car was fast and I was enjoying it, but it developed a few issues after 2 weeks and the car was at the dealer for 9 days in the first 3.5 weeks I had it. I opened a claim with Audi, with the support of my dealer, and finally got some resolution today and traded in the S7 for a 2016 RS7. Yes, I still took a financial hit but the dealer contributed and so did Audi Corporate, which made this a little less painful.

So, realizing a $30k mistake, I'm finally in the car I should have purchased at the beginning.

The car is a 2016 RS7, Glacier White/Black, Comfort Seats, Layered Black and Aluminum trim, Carbon Optic, Sport Exhaust, Silver 21" Rims, Black Alcantara Headliner, Cold Weather Pkg, body color mirrors, plus the normal add ons (cargo box, wheel locks, first aid kit, etc...)

I will try and post pics over the weekend after I have the tint done (35% all around minus windshield).

Debating lowering via Vag-Com and I don't think I will do the APR tune because the car is ballistic to start.

I started in an A7 in 2012, then looked at the S7 in 2014. When my wife said, "why are you buying that, you want the RS7" I quickly became the owner of a 2014 Nardo RS7.

Best decision I ever made ( marrying my wife, I mean

Yes, no need for a tune because the car is already insanely fast. But give it six months and you'll suddenly wake up thinking, this thing is kind of slow. You'll get the tune and get another six months of bliss. Unfortunately that's the life cycle of a speed nut.

Enjoy the ride and don't forget to post some pictures of your beauty.
