Audi S4 Avant B5 2.7 Bi-Turbo Manual – Tastefully Modified for Reliability

A rare opportunity to own one of the last truly analogue, manual Audi performance cars. This B5 S4 Avant has been enthusiast-owned, carefully maintained, and tastefully i with reliability as the priority—not chasing numbers.

Overview

Model: Audi S4 Avant (B5)

Engine: 2.7 Bi-Turbo V6

Gearbox: 6-speed manual

Ownership: Owned since January 2022

History: Full service history

Sunroof: Yes (one of the main reasons I chose this example)

Oil and filter changes have been carried out every 5–6k miles. Combined with the overall condition and factory sunroof, this car stood out when purchased.

Major Mechanical Work & Preventative Maintenance

Within the first six months of ownership, the clutch began to slip. This occurred shortly after spending £1,400+ at Landbeasts Automobile Classica on miscellaneous maintenance. Rather than cutting corners, the car was parked while I researched and completed all the sensible “engine-out” jobs at the same time.

Summary

Lowerroad tax

This S4 has been built with longevity, drivability, and proper maintenance in mind. No shortcuts, no cheap fixes, and no unnecessary modifications. It drives exactly as a B5 S4 should, with the reassurance that the major work has already been done.

A genuine example of a fast-disappearing modern classic, ready to be enjoyed.
