My B8 S4 gets a face lift for $200! step by step install for B8/bB.5

Exact same make, model and colour as my S4 , and even weirder is you have the very same wheels which are actually from the S5 B8 but are a absolute perfect flush fit on the S4.

Sounds like you have good taste! Haha

[@shaheer9130]

hey man can I ask which car you liked better your s4 or 435i bc im looking to get a new car and i honestly cant decide between a s4 or a n55 so in terms of reliability and everything

[@Brennan_Brooks]

sorry for the late response! Thats a really good question... I love both of the cars, each in there own way. If my opinion is worth anything to you, I'd break down what your needs are and wants. if you want my blunt answer... The 435I hands down. I was very impressed with that car. personally I love the longer doors on a coupe, and I just think that M sport model (the one to get if you do) looks great. plus not to mention its newer. The straight 6cyl is super smooth and I would pick a turbo over a supercharger every time when it comes to having fun while driving the car. The BMW handled better and the twin scroll turbo came alive quickly. I sold mine with 65K miles on it due to going to Flight school... I cant tell you from experience how the reliability would be if it had 160K like my s4. But it's a proven motor and I'm sure if you took care of it and stayed on top of things it would be fine. In my 40K miles of owning it I had no issues. A few points to consider are, will having AWD benefit you where you live? do you have people in your car often? (4 doors) gas milage is kinda the same TBH haha. I would say maintenance could be more expensive with the BMW, Example just the front two rotors and pads on the BMW where $730 for the parts. I bought all for corners on the S4 for like $550. good news is there is a ton of support for both platforms and a lot of accessible parts and mods. Either way you go, you will definitely enjoy either one. I hope this was helpful bro! Good luck. if you make a purchase, let's hear about it!

I did this on my old B8.5 A4 and forgot to paint the top of the crash bar lol When you pass by it, people can see the silver on top haha. I had to pull my bumper off and paint it, cause it looked weird.

[@Brennan_Brooks]

definitely put it back in and went to test fit the bumper and was like crap... haha then pulled it back out and painted the top.
