I think you will find its the owners who are special
Just curious to what the actual differences are apart from the engine

Not 100% sure but I thought special edition was just a trim level in which case surely they would be the same aesthetically. In terms of performance the diesel will be slower, brakes may be smaller, but it will be more economical and with this whole diesel thing going on probably cheaper to buy too. Swings and roundabouts with either one really.
special eds came in several forms, if you went avant with petrol engine (BUL) then there is the MK1 and MK2 to choose from very similar but with several interior and ext trim variations , also engines did have revisions , later Mk1 engines had a few revised parts that carried over into the MK2.
Saloon's came with same format but less trim changes.
Diesels special eds varied quite a bit on spec , some had the 320 drilled discs etc and full black optics pack others did not...as per audi though no two are really the same as overall spec varied a fair bit.
The 220 special ed avant s-line Quattro is the best option ....but then i'm biased anyway, goes like a bat out of hell , sticks to the road like superglue , a real gem of a car and to drive, remap it and things just get better..

Cool, ive got a MK1 2.0T special edition 2wd Avant
I just wondered if the diesel special editions were exactly the same but just with the diesel engine instead of the BUL engine

good choice chap, so it should have chrome/silver brightwork , chrome grille surround , black headlining etc, possibly ronal alloys.
just a bit of info.
quattro GmbH has historically only been able to produce one specific model at a time at its sole plant at Neckarsulm. Chronologically, the first quattro GmbH model produced was the Audi RS2 Avant, a joint venture between Porsche and quattro GmbH, from 1994-1996 (and actually built at Porsche's Zuffenhausen plant). After this initial joint venture, all subsequent cars have been solely (with the exception of the Audi TT RS) produced at Neckarsulm by quattro GmbH. The second car was the C4 S6 Plus, produced from April 1996 to July 1997. Third was the 2000-2001 B5 RS4 Avant quattro; fourth was the 2003 C5 RS6 quattro; fifth was the 2005 B7 A4 DTM Edition saloon. Sixth out of quattro GmbH was the 2006 B7 RS4 quattro, seventh out of quattro GmbH was the 2006 B7 S4 25 Quattro, the eighth was the A4 S Line Special Edition (with 220PS upgrade, black optics pack, ventilated cross-drilled front disc brakes, black exhaust pipes, two tone leather interior) and, as of 2009, the ninth and latest offering is the 2008 C6 RS6 5.0 TFSI quattro.[2][4][6]
quattro GmbH-produced cars from Neckarsulm can be identified by their specific 2nd and 3rd digit of the World Manufacturer Identifier section of the vehicles' Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) - quattro GmbH manufactured cars begin with 'WUA....', whereas cars produced by AUDI AG in Germany begin with 'WAU....'.[9]
