Reflecting on the face-lift (B9.5) S5 changes. Blu B9 vs Smoke B9.5

[@oODraglidOo]

Keep up the awesome content ! I like that you are super down to earth, and don't have "Influencer" style videos and takes.

[@StreetRyde]

Thanks! I don't even know what any of that is lol

[@Kiss__Kiss]

B9.5 Problems.. Must be ROUGH!!! lol Nice to see you again. Great video idea, since Most YT videos seem to be about B8(.5) vs B9..

[@StreetRyde]

Thanks. I'm happy to be back!

[@tittyboiswag]

So happy to see the B9(.5) content coming back! I'm planning on finally getting into a B9 s5 sportback sometime in the next couple of months after lusting after them for years. Can't wait until you're running 10s again in this new car.

[@StreetRyde]

Working on it as we speak.

[@troystark1683]

Man, I wish they had the touch screen & physical controls together.

[@StreetRyde]

Same

[@MarcYanOfficial]

Me too!

[@themindfulscientist7738]

Great video my man! I just bought a 2023 S5 (Premier Plus) and came from a 2023 M4 (don't ask :P) ... one of the strangest things to figure out was the Garage Door opener! BMW has actual buttons! What is cool about Audi though... is that you can program up to 8 different doors, gates, etc. There are 2 gates to enter my neighborhood and there is my garage door. You can program 8 different gates/doors and rename them so you can program your Left Garage and your Right Garage and BOTH will drop down as you pull up close to your home for you to choose which one to open as you drive up

[@SSEBRD]

Great video, thanks for doing the comparison.

[@morganlingsweiler9813]

Happy to see you back in an Audi S5. Your videos have been helpful for me, even as a b9 s4 owner. Are the wheels you have satin black or gloss black? Thanks for the content!

[@StreetRyde]

These are gloss black my gold wheels are satin

[@Kiss__Kiss]

I'm having StreetRyde withdrawals!!! What's new? What are you hiding from us?? lol

[@NJmike07]

Good to see you back bro. I agree on the taillight and also a fan of the flat steering wheel over heated. Not digging the VC or MMI on these so not a huge uplift there. Also my hot button was preset to drive mode so yes an RS button so to speak

[@StreetRyde]

It's all growing on me.

[@ryanmoore7927]

I'm not sure if you've seen the newest A6, but i like how they did the dual screens in those. Great video. I can't decide between a B9 or a B9.5 😭

[@StreetRyde]

It's a hard choice!

[@PhatBoyiee]

I love both cars I think they are beautiful cars in their own way. They both for sure have a lot of potential. I can not wait to see all that you do with your. I have a 2021 S5 coupe and are looking forward to getting some mods done. Have you found it hard to find parts for this model?

[@DigitalCowboy87]

Commenting throughout the video here haha, I too have gone from a 2018 B9 to a 2021 B9.5 and I still prefer the DRL's on the B9. Agree with you on the taillights for sure, B9.5 all the way. My new car has the black optic package AND the emblems are blacked out, what's funny is I feel like it's too much black and I would prefer to have the 4 rings in the traditional chrome, and you're wishing yours were black, we can trade haha. Both my cars have had the magma red interior, was a must have for me... if you aren't in love with yours right now I think it will grow on you, makes the interior much more fun and exciting IMO. Agree that for the most part the MMI updates are all solid, bigger screen is nice for sure... I still miss the wheel though, touchscreen is more "modern" I suppose but that means the screen is dirty like ALL the time lol. Was so happy to hear I'm not alone in liking the B9 tachometer better, like man, wtf is this bar thing lol! Overall, like you said, car feels more techie, hopefully with time all the stuff we miss about the B9 will fade away some. Good luck on everything with the car, I had the 710 on my last car and doing the 810 on this one, excited to start the mods journey over again and will enjoy watching you do the same, cheers brotha!

[@StreetRyde]

Thank you for the comment! I think if we both had our matrix lights activated assuming yous is equip with matrix lights the b9.5 head would grown on us faster.

[@DigitalCowboy87]

No problem! That's a fair point... how would I know if I have them haha? Mine is a 2021 premium plus, not sure if it's something that would be listed in the options?

[@StreetRyde]

@Dane Korinko it would be listed in the window sticker of the car. I know Prestige models have it forsure.

[@DigitalCowboy87]

@@StreetRyde I’ll take a look!

[@baddavis75]

Have the same year, same color with all options. Try the carbon imports for the rear diffuser

[@dustinmitchell8819]

Weird, when I use the steering wheel button I have a lot more options than you including drive mode select! It’s a Canadian 2020 S4. Audi did update me to the latest firmware, could be why ? I also have footwell lights?

[@StreetRyde]

I find the Canada models to be more customizable than the USA which uses more of a package system. My Blu car was Canadian.

[@leandrovaldez4910]

That touch screen is a fingerprints magnet hate it in my wife's Q3, dont care much about lighting since i have sensible eyes (to light) the darker the better, not hating i love my b9 cant wait until you start moding this one

[@StreetRyde]

I will be modding soon

[@laohac9425]

Is s5 reliable ? Thank you

[@oODraglidOo]

Where is the coolant and oil temps ? as well as the gas ? I guess they aren't fixed in the cockpit anymore ?

[@StreetRyde]

I should of mention that the fuel you have to set with the extra display feature. And you can see oil in the minimize tach and speedo view when on the car information screen. Yeah it takes time to get use to it.

[@MarcYanOfficial]

It's weird that you say your cars lowered. Mine, from Canada looks the same and it's stock.

[@StreetRyde]

Less than an inch drop so it's possible it looks the same.

[@neaxtech360]

Weird, the black optics package is a full chrome delete on all ‘23 models

[@StreetRyde]

Sounds fantastic

[@michaelabdulnour7762]

Why didn't you upgrade to rs5?

[@StreetRyde]

I believe more tuning will come to the 3.0t over the 2.9tt

[@michaelabdulnour7762]

@@StreetRyde i actually believe the 2.9tt is still at a very early stage and will be getting much bigger turbos soon kinda like 3.0 got 810 after 710 and 2.9 currently has 720 so u can guess which is the next step, the the 3.0t seems to be done with stock engine power and will most likely move on to built engine i think. But beautiful car bro hope everything goes well :)

[@lex350us]

What’s worst is recent yrs the * on the steering wheel is now a heated wheel

[@packat78]

Not a fan of the piano black interior trim. Nice upgrade though!

[@StreetRyde]

Thanks. My only complaint of piano black is how it shows fingerprints and scratches...

[@synergy2782]

The RS5 has the drive select on the steering wheel

[@jrlifestyle9179]

Need the silver mirrors back lose the black wheels they look tacky compared to the oem’s…just black the beaches keep it how it is it looks fine

[@StreetRyde]

The black wheel are lightweight wheels for racing. The oem wheel are like sleds 🤣🤣 they do look good tho

[@jimmychoi9900]

I personally really don’t like how b9.5 doesn’t have burble and crackles when reving the stock car

[@StreetRyde]

Yup, a lot more tamed stock with engine sound. A tune opens it up.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@StreetRyde Can' wait to see the new and improved BEAST go stage 3.

[@StreetRyde]

@@Kiss__Kiss the goal is to go faster than Blu in smoke

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@StreetRyde Oh yeah baby!!!! Let's GO!!!! 🦾

[@neaxtech360]

The optional Audi Sport resonators kinda helps bring back some of those burbles and crackles that you mention. Helps it sound more pronounced compare to the regular stock exhaust. I knew someone who recently had a b9.5 stock exhaust and had Audi install the sport resonators and he said it made a big difference for him.

[@dene3959]

not the best display handwriting decision for lefties 😅

[@petejr7583]

Love these matrix lights with blue accent and the laser high beam is ridiculous how far it throws light. My ‘21 Ascari Launch Ed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnOliHaZd82Zl80si=zycRszcc6sMNxM9z
