New to the board and hope that this is posted in the correct place. I just agreed on trading my 2001 S4 with 20K miles in on a brand new '04 S4. This was partially motivated by excessive motor oil consumption despite the fact that the dealer could not find a problem.In any event, I actually chose a black color over silver this time since the last was silver and I figured that I'd go for a change. Now I've been reading all over here that black is a difficult color to live with even if you take good care of keeping it clean and that brilliant black (the only black that I was told was available) is not a very nice color compared to ebony. Did I make a mistake? I can still change my order if it advisable.

Also, for those of you who did switch from the B5 as well,did you notice a huge improvement or disadvantage between the two in performance or quality.

I have hard water where I live and it was damn near impossible to keep it looking clean. It also showed EVERYTHING, tiny swirl marks, scratches, etc. I went to a Pearl Car and it's so much easier to keep looking nice. Don't get me wrong, Black is beautiful but the extra time I save from not having to wash it every 2 days lets me work on other mods. Good luck.

beautiful...I'm not even super into the B6 body, but when you slam it, put on some big *** wheels, and a nice body kit, it is bad ***.

I'm in Cali and I got the Bi-Turbo instead of the 4.2 mostly due to Gas Prices!!!
