@@Kaijuus thanks for the comment. This was only temporary when I installed it. If you watch my full reviews you’ll see this was switched for the supercharged badge :)

@@trouchie No problem, happy to comment. But you kept it on TEMPORARILY. While you could have easily taken it off before installation. Seeing how it came out of the box, or swapped it for a S5 badge from your original grille. Or just buy a new one if it doesn't fit the new grille. You want a different grille, good on you. But you don't upgrade an S5 to RS5 after a honeycomb grille change buddy, or ever even with your supercharger. Maybe put an Lamborghini Badge on it. It might turn into an Urus. If you want to badge a car RS5, buy an RS5. Temporarily argument is just BS. You were pretending to be a car that you aren't TEMPORARILY. You are no different than those Japanese ricers. Many people on TH-cam change their grill on their S5 to RS5 style, but they kept the S5 badge. Sigh. Maybe a Japanese car fits your style more. Then you can put VTEC or Type-R stickers and badges all around your car, which is a base model. Same thing as you done here... temporarily. 🤦

Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes I remember it being pretty hard to pull out the connectors. I think there’s a little bit you push in when pulling that helps but got to pull hard.

the wires close them again.

Thanks for the comment CapnT87. Is the access to the valves on the SVR hard to get at?

@@trouchie You have to unbolt the rear valence to let it drop a bit and then you only have a few minutes to get the job done before the car goes to sleep from accessory mode and valves close themselves haha….unless you do it with the engine running :p. I found your video looking to see if anyone did this on the G80 series - about to order one.

Thanks for the comment. Good luck the purchase if you choose to get one 😀

I can’t fully remember but I don’t think it affected fuel. Pretty sure it was just the sound.

Thanks for the comment Atsy. That’s strange regarding not getting up to 120!

Thanks for the comment. Congrats on the M4. Really nice motor! Yes I didn’t jack my car up at all and managed to do this myself on my drive at home.

@Paul Connor thank you I do plan on doing it later, after I disconnect the plugs do I start the car or switch it off an start it again? !! Love your vids

@@sahilnaidoo thanks a lot man. I really can’t remember it’s been quite a few years since I had the M4. Good luck with it buddy :)

This is why is the badge came straight off. If you check my next video on this car you will see. I changed it for the supercharged badge.

I’m not too sure. Never drove one yet. Will be interesting to find out though.

Thanks for the comment Lee!

Cheers Tony appreciate the comment mate!

@@trouchie no worries mate,

Yea Tony thinking about doing it tomorrow if I can get the time to do another vid. It’s been a while!

@@trouchie OK bud, I'll keep my eye out,

Thanks for the comment Tony. Really buzzing for you. You won’t be disappointed mate :)

@@trouchie yeh cheers mate, a bit late on this post, but was the best review I could find, let you know how it goes,

@@tonyo6972 great stuff. Let me know what you think after you’ve had a proper blast in it.

@@trouchie will do mate, 1st thing

@@tonyo6972 yeah the fuel drops very quickly in that car. That super charged engine is very thirsty. At the moment I’m driving a killer 5 litre tuned Mustang. I’m going to post a video on it soon. It’s a total beast!

What did you use to code?

@@truhust1az1 MHD but with bimmerlink it should be work too.

@@Rif_Tv_Gaming did you experience a Differnce in fuel economy?

@@josephmina1816 No not really.

The Exhaust will stay "open" at all times. Some people dont want all the power just the exhaust note

Thanks for the comment Julian. So pretty much what RevItRalph has said. I had to push it hard to get some decent sounds in sports mode, but with the mod was louder even at slower speeds as I remember. Thanks.

Sport + actually doesn’t keep the valves open at all times. They only go open all the way at the higher rpms under heavier acceleration

Sport + or M2 burns more fuel if that matters. I love the sound but don't want all that power or having to be at high RPM to hear that sweet sound

Great stuff Darryl glad you sorted it 😀

Congrats. Great car and hope you love it. Go drive and enjoy buddy 🙏

Thanks rig. Yeah lovely cars!

@@trouchie Amazing review, I love this car, I hope you still have it. Im currently looking at a black S5 100,000 km 2015 and this was very informative. Thanks again for the video!!

@@Djay_699 no problem and glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi Hasan, yeah so I found that only when in sports mode I still had to rev quite high to get a decent sound. With this mod it made it more apparent in eco and lower revs.

It just the plugs for the valve. Prevents them from closing

Thanks for the comment loveakland. Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Mike, as I remember you just need to do it the once. Hope that helps bud!

Question, does having the values open effect the efficiency of the car? I haven’t noticed a difference myself. Just wanted to check before making them permanently open as I have a 90mile daily commute

Thanks for the comment. I’m afraid I’m not sure about this as I only had this mod done for a few months before I plugged them back in and sold the car. Thanks.

Oh man. That never happened to me and unfortunately I don’t have the car anymore to provide any help. Hope you get it sorted 😀

Thanks for the positive comment John. Yeah a bit difference between the two a7 and s5. A7 feels like much of a better car if you like bigger cars like me. A great all rounder with unique looks. I’m currently in a Range Rover Velar at the moment and loving it, but thinking another Audi next.

Bit the bullet and picking up a Nardo Grey S5 next week. Thank you again my friend, your video has definitely made my mind up.

@@johngoulden322 great news and congrats. Wow nardo grey is my favourite car colour. A nice Christmas present there 😊

Hi Hassaim, thanks for the comment. No I didn’t have to remove the lining as I remember. If you’re going to go for it just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get it done as can be quite fiddly. Definitely worth it though!

Thanks for the comment. I was pleasantly surprised with the sound. Much better than what I was expecting. It’s not too dramatic but has a nice high pitched sound as well the odd pop on up shifts which I really enjoyed. I’ve actually owned an a7 as well which I loved. Both great cars! Probably overall preferred the A7 as I like bigger cars.

Many thanks for your reply…does the A7 similarly pop and crackle on upshifts? I’d prefer the looks and size of the A7 as well, but if the A7 is just a quiet luxury driving experience I would want the S5 instead

@@gilmo1 I had the 3 litre diesel so had bad sound, but had tons of torque. Just depends on your preference:)

Thanks Sanjan!

Unfortunately not on the S5 I had.

Thanks Sam!

Hi Sam, thanks for the comment and the kind feedback. It was a great car, well built, very fast and sounded pretty good too! I like to switch cars every year. Keeps me excited for the next one and l like to try different things. Nothing wrong with the car though. If there are any negatives from memory I would say they can be very thirsty when you put your foot down. Other than that a very solid motor and timeless design. Enjoy bud.

@@trouchie Fair enough mate! Thanks for the reply, I'll come back here and let you know what I think when I've had a go in it on saturday! What you drivin at the min?

Got the car mate, absolutely love it. Just off memory, did you notice a difference between it being in Dynamic mode and just moving the gear shifter into 'S' mode which is sport? Is there a difference?

@@samhancock268 awesome, glad you are loving the car. As I remember I used to mainly pull the great shifter down into S and floor it then. Seemed to pull better.

Great news Harkiee. I’m sure you will love it. Super fast and well built car with a timeless design!

I get mine tomorrow as well lol

@@eli3channel nice! I spend the whole day polishing it. Drives like a dream

@@eli3channel Can u update me ?

@@herkiee1 can u update me on the s5

yh it will just fold the wire and ziptie it

Thanks for the comment Federico. Yes much better sound with the valves forced open :)

Hi Kurt, thanks for the comment. This S5 had a pretty simple radio, CD player and hard drive media library. I never was able to use android auto or apple car play unfortunately. I’m guessing there’s a way you can make it work though.

Look up RSNAV to add it yourself.

Got exactly the same problem..

@@yuriwolfs3536 Do you have any solutions?...

Thanks for the comment and yes a great looking car. I really like the f80 M3 with the flared wheel arches though - I think they look better than the M4.

@@changespecialist I'm not into german cars at all, but this m3 and audi s5 imo are the best looking cars to date, BEST BEST.

It’s a great car with an amazing engine. I miss the sound of the supercharger too. Enjoy :)

@@changespecialist one the best purchases i ever made

Hi, did you got your car?

@@azteka6103 got it late October

@@arseneremy Hey, it's been a few years but thought I'd give this a shot. I'm currently looking at buying one, how was your experience? Do you still have it?

It was definitely supercharged Mark. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Dwight, yes it transforms the front end of the car. Really miss this car. Thanks for the comment :)

Thanks for the comment. As I remember this was a 2012 model. The auto folding mirrors were a nice feature. I wish other cars I’ve owned had this. I think it was just a factory option. Cheers

Paul Connor Thanks. I just was wondering. I have 2014 s5 and it doesn’t have it. I would have to buy a kit which seems like more trouble than it’s worth.

The Wanderer great to hear you’ve got a 2014 S5. Great car with an amazing engine. Yes not sure if I would go through the hassle of adding the auto folding mirrors.

I'm afraid this was purchased a few years back and I can't find the same product unfortunately. Good luck finding a decent one. Paul
