I went the tuned route once with a BMW, big mistake. Constant worry that you are going to void the warranty and destroy your vehicle.
Anyway, I think I can get $1k off MSRP as a token discount, but that's it.
A 36mo/10k mi lease is like $2200 ($115k sticker) - which is sort of insane and about what I pay for my 24mo lease on my 911.

The S7 is SO restricted and capable of so much more, basically a RS7 engine but detuned, not comparing an A7 with a S7 but with a stage 2 tune I will bet on the A7 (if the S7 is plain stock)
Look at these b8 s4 videos, they are rockets, they eat M3, old RS6, CLS63 and more.

I blew a high pressure fuel pump and had to uninstall everything before taking it in for service and playing dumb. Even then the car's computer showed some fishy stuff and I was lucky I had a good relationship at the dealership.
I tell people not to mess with the main power train unless you're out of warranty already. Just not worth it. Highly risky.
As it stands now, for me it will be between the E63S and the RS7...Audi has the nicer interior for sure. It will basically come down to which one I can get for a cheaper 3 year lease since they are practically the same price once options (maybe MB is a little more, not sure).

and even if you had to pay for it, was that an expensive repair?
All kind of tunes have risks but getting something major and expensive I think is really minimal, because even cars with tunes they are not being floored all the time, it is just there when you need it.

Even the small chance of a catastrophe is worth paying 30% more for more performance, styling, etc. that's covered by warranty and support...of course you may be more risky!

Anyways between the E class and the Audi 7 I will go with Audi, so my vote is for RS7.

My only thinking with the E63S is that it might be a few hundred dollars cheaper a month to lease, so it sorta seems like the nobrainer decision? Strictly performance based assessment. I like the functionality of the A7 model better.

I tried so much to get somebody with a S7 in the s7 forum to test both cars and nobody ever responded, too bad you are all the way to Canada.
The S7 is SO restricted and capable of so much more, basically a RS7 engine but detuned, not comparing an A7 with a S7 but with a stage 2 tune I will bet on the A7 (if the S7 is plain stock)
Look at these b8 s4 videos, they are rockets, they eat M3, old RS6, CLS63 and more.

From my experience, the Launch control is worth about 0.4 sec 0-60 The way it hooks up is amazing!
Which gives the S7 (or DSG equipped Euro A7s) a distinct advantage off the line.
One day we'll findout.......
