Default Considering a b8.5 but need help

So i’ve been looking into getting an s4 for awhile now and i think i’m going to buy one in april or may when most of the bad weather is gone. Leaning towards a b8.5 since i read it doesn’t have some of the problems of the b8. Was wondering about reliability, mainly because i plan on doing a tune of sorts. I also don’t know whether to go with the more reliable apr, or go with giac or ie. Thinking of buying a 2015 with around 30-40k miles. also, what’s your maintance schedule like with a tune and can u get it done by audi or do u have to get your car flashed back to stock? Thanks for reading and helping, appreciate the feedback!

My 2013 B8.5 has been great! It has 120k miles on it, we got it with 75k on it. I am not easy on the clutch and have no issues with it. I have no reason to believe that it's been replaced. It's been very reliable.
