Upgrades
What would you all say are the best upgrades you can make to a b9 s4? I just got mine yesterday. I love it and would like to make it mine.

Agreed with the above. +1
Especially the OBD.
Also, raising the headlights from OEM setting, if you don't drive exclusively in Urban areas.
= way too low.
Would you guys explain the benefits of a Dash Cam??
I get the obvious ones, just want to hear YOUR opinions.

OBDeleven is a diagnostic and a therapeutic tool. You can program custom settings that I think make the car a much better experience - disable auto stop/start, turn off the soundaktor, change the speed at which the parking assist cameras shut off, change the number of blinks the turn signal makes when changing lanes, etc...

My best upgrades so far have been:
+1.
If I was tracking this car, my upgrades in order would be:
1. better brake fluid (mandatory, brake fade is apparent on the stock fluid in just 2-3 corners)
2. Track day
3. Better tires
4. Track day
5. Better brake pads, once options become available on the market, and maybe better rotors for which options do exist now
6. Track day
7. Track day
8. Track day
9. Track day
10. Track day
11. Track day
......
30. Track day
31. Provided you're actually in A group by now, better suspension probably? Not entirely sure what I'd do, but I do know I'd bet my hat that any experienced driver with 10-15 track weekends under his belt will be routinely turning laps a full 10-15 seconds faster in a near-bone-stock car than any novice track driver with $30,000 in aftermarket upgrades can expect to turn on his first day at the circuit.
TL;DR the best performance upgrade you can make is seat time
- Nose + partial hood clear bra to protect the notoriously soft Audi paint from rock chips
- Roof towers + crossbars, paired with a thru-axle bike rack for summer and a ski-length cargo box for winter
- Proper snow tires on dedicated wheels, fitted from late-Nov thru mid-April
