Hey, I've seen a few here in the South Bay. There's probably a good dozen now out on the road... when compared to the A4/S4's, that's more like 5% of the Audi population down here.

While I probably would have wanted the S-Line, my 08' A5 came fully loaded otherwise as well.

If you want to meet at SR this weekend, I can do some VAG-COM mods for you ( key-fob remote down/up windows, non-winking signal, lap counter, etc.).

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I don't actually have the car yet, I'm still arranging shipment from Chicago..just finalized paperwork on Thursday. The titling was kind of a headache because the car resides in New jersey, is being bought from Chicago and is being sent to California. Maybe in a couple weeks =)

No big plans, I haven't really researched mods. The first things I'm going to do is order a new grille w/out front plate and tint the windows. Otherwise I won't do anything big to it...I really like the wheels so I see no need to spend thousands of dollars on a new set. If I can get an ECU reflash that doesn't void the warranty and gives a noticable performance gain, I'll probably do it at some point.

BTW: Audi A5/S5 Owners Club - A5_OC

I like it, even stock. enjoy the ride!

as a heads up, the 3.2l V6 is an engine that no one makes mods for (I have the same in my A4). but fortunately a few things are interchangeable between the A5 and S5.. for engine mods, youre still stuck with intake, exhaust, and a couple questionable tunes that struggle to give you +15hp

Congrats.. 5's are beautiful cars.
