My car's not matte black, but I redid my summer wheels in gloss gunmetal (looks almost black). There are pics in a thread here in the Audi section.

I can't get enough of the Avant in the OP. I wish they'd brought them to the US. Speaking of sunroof delete, I haven't seen one RS4 in the US without a sunroof. When I was going to order mine without it (I never use sunroofs), the sales guy said it would kill resale.

When we were looking for a 4 door, we did come across a yellow RS4 with no sunroof.

Trouble was, it had no RNS-E either, and retrofitting that was not something I cared to do.

As far as resale goes, it will take a little longer, but there will be guys who are looking for this specific kind of car, just like my buddy's E46 M3 with no sunroof. My M3 had no sunroof either, and when the sales guy brought up resale, I just politely told him I am buying the car for me, not the guy after me.

Chris or Stuka: do you guys ever feel cramped in your S/RS4's? Do you feel that the size is adequate (shoulders, arms, etc.), even when there is a passenger next to you?

The back seats are a little cramped if you got two 6 foot guys in the front seats, or leggy chicks for that matter.

But I don't have any problems with the room.

The Avant is great because it makes changing diapers really easy, just lift the tailgate, and there's your changing table.

I usually don't like matte black, but this RS4 is amazing looking. I love how the fender flares look. This is one badass Audi!

Not at all... Like Stuka said, the back seat is a bit much for taller folks but my 5'6" wife and 5'5" MIL sat back there for a while with no problems. As for the front seats, I'm a very wide guy (52 jacket) and the seats are SUPER comfortable. In fact, I'd say they're the most comfortable (and supportive) seats I've ever had.
