Yah would be nice if they had an option to get up to 300hp with say the sports package and they should push the S4 more to 375-400 hp.
Stupid you can't get ventilated. You can get them on the S4. Audi USA is just ridiculous with their choices..so bad.
I agree with some that the S4 needs to have a bit more HP to push it further up & for the $$
Regarding a tune, which direction are you planning on going and are you worried about the warranty/risk?

Yeah even on the S4 to get ventilated you need to go with a specific seat, cant get the sexy diamond stitched ones. Yeah, I wish Audi offered more a la carte options like they do in Europe.
No plans right now to tune because of the warranty. Prob will do it when the warranty runs out. I had APR on my B5 and was happy so would prob go that route again.

Thank you- will call and let you know what I find out. Mine is on order- silver, similarly spec'd to yours only that I opted for the black gloss 18" wheels. I'll have until almost Halloween to wait apparently- keeping mine mostly stock as well due to warranty concerns. An AWE Touring Exhaust system won't be too far in the future after taking delivery.

I factory ordered my 2018 A4 Prestige in monsoon gray on April 28 and it took delivery on Saturday, July 8. I am really loving this A4. It is great and exceeds my expectations and it is a vast improvement over the B8 (with which I was very satisfied).

As a follow quick follow up, I contacted APR earlier today. They confirmed that their tune for the B9 A4 is only for the S Tronic transmission. This statement was followed by a comment that APR may develop a tune for the MT in the future if the demand for the product makes it cost effective, citing that sales numbers for manual A4s in the US are considerably lower than automatic transmissions.
