In the past having owned an Audi A4 (B6) 2.5 Quattro Avant (for 5 years), and just selling my 2.0TDi Quattro Sline Avant (owned for 2 years) , just about to get myself a low mileage 2011 3.0TDi Quattro A5 Black Edition.....its really well spec'd with the following

Cannot wait ! Anyone any idea what the price of the car was when new with all these options ?

Congrats! Stunning A5! Had a Phantom Black A5 and the colour is amazing when freshly waxed (pain in the **** to maintain though...!).

The black edition trim comes pretty well specced from standard, so most of your options come from that. After a quick glance it looks like the extras they have ticked over the BE trim is interior LED lights, sunroof, elec folding mirror and possible parking system plus. Probably around £45k new.

And must have ordered electric memory seats. Heated! Nice spec.

See it was specced with the optional rusty brake calipers as well . Problem with having big alloys is they show off things like the calipers.
Nice car, I am sure you will find it a lot better to drive than the 2.0 TDI . The 3.0 is a great engine and responds very well to a remap.

Nothing that a quick lick of Hammerite cant fix!

I sanded mine down as best I could then applied a few coats of Hammerite smooth black paint. Was nice and easy and looked miles better. Probably an idea to do the hubs and brake shield, but I wasn't too fussed with those. Had to change the brake discs all round anyway.

Lovely car and great specification, best of luck!

I found my calipers, hubs and brake shields also had that faded look, so like @DrEskimo I painted them using metal Hammerite smooth black and silver paint followed by some white Audi decals.

I was very happy with the results and looks much cleaner behind the alloys!
