I sold my BPM Stage 2 F10 M5 and picked up my RS7 Performance about a month ago. The traction from a dig is silly!!! I can only imagine what yours will be running with APR stage 2.

Side bar: The Audi forum doesn't even compete with the M5 Bimmerpost community.

Damnnnnnn nice Congrats. Tunes on these cars are the end game...

I agree with the forums too, its hard to get alot of intel over at AudiZine but thats the only place to go. If you think the RS7 forum is weak, check the R8 forum there, all adds.

So... any mods?
I'm doing Full APR this week, excited!

I'm taking it to a shop by my place next weekend to do:

15mm spacers
Rear section resonator delete
And orange blinker deletes

I want to try to enjoy this car stock for a few months before I catch the modding-bug.

Hopefully that will help me keep this car a lot longer! Haha, but I can't say I'm not jealous of you doing APR right away.

I need to check but I went 20mm square on this car for spacers and its about perfect (no rubbies lol) and lowered with H&R springs.

Also I highly recommend you pull both the primary and secondary resonators for the proper sound. The rear section gets you more but combine that with the center and you have yourself a growling machine with lots of bark/pops.

Vic if you could find out what size spacers you're running that would be awesome! I would really appreciate it, I love the stance of your car.

Tune is the end game on the RS7 for sure. It sounds like even with the new Edition-One E63s you picked up, the RS7 can still hang, which is saying a lot!

The goal for me is to make this car last for a couple years until I can find a >10,000mile slightly used F90 COMP pack.

Confirmed via my receipt: 20mm all the way around. You will need to remove the one screw (waste of a screw) under the fender in the front left and right wheels. You will know what Im talking about when you pull the wheel off.

I just sold my 2 month old S7 and moved back to an M5. I agree the audi is a nicer place to be. The BM seems to have aged whereas the audi still feels good. I am just fed up with 4wd its so boring. Moving back to the M5 is soooo much more fun. I guess everyone is different.

your RS7 looks awesome

Yea S7 was nowhere near where i wanted to be.
Having owned M6/5 and now RS7 with full mods... M6 most fun with RS7 being most savage.
M5 was a boat and half! Lol
