Basically, the ECU has an integrated function that counts how many times it’s been reprogrammed, and so do Audi dealers. If the numbers don’t jive, the dealer knows the S4 in question has been re-flashed with non-Audi software, and the vehicle’s VIN number gets ‘marked’ or ‘flagged’.
IMO, the greatest S4 was likely the B7 version. That V8 had one of the sweetest sounding exhaust notes of any sedan, ever.

A buddy of mine had a 2013 S4, or was it a 2012, regardless, the car was beautiful to look at, beautiful to sit in but he said it was about as exciting to drive as watching golf, he got rid of it and picked up a E63 AMG....which is insane.
