Because, as you are bent over your $70k car for the 8th hour, tediously scrubbing valves for the Nth time (or paying someone for the work), it dawns on you that it will have to be done again and again.
All kinds of stark realizations will surely go through your head. Clarity of thought and even an epiphany or two are quite common.
But for most RS4 owners, it is impossible to kick the super model out of bed, so they keep right on scrubbing.

The above link was the deciding factor for me to get the rs
But, a 2011 M3 competition package sedan....the last sedan and v8 being made by BMW is pretty enticing
Curious what you hate about BMW (beside the fact that everything is an option like power seats)
FYI, I hate BMW too, but we all have to admit that they make extremely well balanced/handling cars
Beside the review from above, all the reviews crown BMW as king despite our protest
And do they have to deal with carbon....
Got the car back today and it is 10 times more powerful; feels like different car

12-14 hours of dirty, back-breaking labor, or pay somebody around $1000-$1400 to do the dirty work for you.
I, and several others contacted Audi with pictures of the carbon mess and before-after dyno runs. Don't expect any sympathy or warranty honoring from the Audi Mothership either, despite the motor you paid $25,000 extra for to get an additional 80HP over the "S" model. You're guaranteed to be down 25-40WHP, but unless your car is so coked up that it is throwing codes (Check Engine Light), Audi will tell you that there never was any carbon problems with their FSI motors. They sure know how to send their customers packing.
